MBA after software engineering: placement data for PM, Analytics & tech roles
I'm an SDE and a graduate from IIM Lucknow.
I've received quite a few questions from developers considering an MBA to move into Product, Analytics, Strategy, Founder's Office, or other tech-management roles.
The common questions are: What roles do MBAs actually get? What are the salaries? And does an MBA make sense if you're already earning well as an SDE?
So I'm sharing placement data from Tier-1 B-schools for Product, Analytics, General Management and technology roles, covering roughly the top 50 percentile of the batch.
My intention is to showcase the realistic earning potential from an MBA For someone already doing well as an SDE, the opportunity cost of 2 years can be significant.
So, I put some actual placement numbers in one place for people who are currently deciding whether an MBA is worth it for their particular career path.
