Profile assessment request
Hi everyone,
I'm 31M trying to decide whether pursuing MBA makes sense.
My profile:
Engineering degree from a reputed private university in India
10 years of work experience in IT (software development): 6 years in India, 4 years in Singapore, plus short-term experience working in Australia
Currently working in Singapore, earning more than $100k/year
Preparing for GMAT atm..
While I'm paid decently enough, I don't see myself just being a developer long term. My goal is to transition into management consulting or tech senior management, ideally in Singapore, the UAE, or India.
If I decide to pursue MBA at INSEAD since I'm already in singapore(exploring other BSchools in UK and europe too), my biggest concern would be the significant loan I'd need to take and post graduation job prospects. Given that I'm already 31 and recently married (my spouse moved to Singapore recently and is not currently working), I'm wondering whether the opportunity cost of pursuing an MBA is worth the risk given job market is not that great at the moment and AI posing serious threat to management consulting and IT jobs.
Would you pursue MBA in my situation? I'd really appreciate any brutal assessment of my profile, and I'll gladly take any advice!
Thanks..!
