Help needed: Should I go for Full-time MBA or SP Jain EMBA?
31M
Working in a SaaS startup in the Martech domain
Completed BSc Computer Science from a relatively normal college in Mumbai (graduated in 2021)
Had a 5-year gap after Class 12
I’ve been working since November 2021 in a Customer Success (CSM) role, and most recently my total compensation has been ~20 LPA (including performance-based incentives; fixed is lower).
I’m now planning for an MBA but I’m quite confused. I’m ready to put in the effort for entrance exams, but I haven’t given any yet. I’m trying to decide between Executive MBA vs Full-time MBA.
I have significant loans, so quitting my job for a full-time MBA would be financially challenging. I’m also unsure how realistic it is for me to target top colleges like ISB or IIM A/B/C. If not, what are the other good full-time MBA options I should consider?
On the executive MBA side, I currently have an offer/acceptance for SP Jain EMBA. Is it worth it? Or should I explore other part-time/executive options as well?
I’d really appreciate guidance on what would be the most sensible path given my profile and constraints.
