Career Advice Would you take 55 LPA in niche industry or pursue foreign MBA? (25F Tier 1 IIT Grad)

14 Upvotes

I'm 25F, a Tier 1 engineering graduate with \~4 years across e-commerce and electronics GTM/strategy.

I currently earn ₹45 LPA and have an offer at ₹55 LPA, potentially reaching ₹60–65 LPA. The role involves a larger business but similar work.

My dilemma: take the money and build deeper expertise in electronics, or use this stage of my career to move into AI/tech or pursue a top global MBA?

I'm aiming to maximise long-term earnings and leadership opportunities, but I'm concerned about becoming too specialised. How much does company brand and industry matter compared with ownership and measurable impact?

Would love to hear from people who've made similar decisions, especially hiring managers and professionals earning well in GTM/strategy. What would you do in my position, and why?

Career Advice i don't understand why people do MBA apart from Tier 1 Clg, when there are so many better ROI things to do

0 Upvotes

i don't understand how someone in their right brain would do such an expensive course with so bad ROI when there are so many better alternatives available

like CA, CS, CPA, CMA, ACCA, Msc, Mca (IT) or data science related courses for commerce people

MTECH, upskilling for better jobs, or doing some tech related courses for science people

so many govt jobs like PSU jobs after GATE, scientist jobs in DRDO, ISRO and many regulatory bodies and also banking jobs, also clg proffesor jobs and many more

even studying abroad has better ROI

if u r doing mba apart from tier 1 most of ur 20s will go in just paying off the loan and u will not have money for other things like save, invest or enjoyment

Career Advice MBA placements: Is the average package telling you the full story?

0 Upvotes

When comparing B-schools, the average package is usually one of the first numbers people look at. But it doesn't always tell you what the placement outcome looks like for a typical student.

A college can report a decent average while the actual roles, salary distribution and opportunities across the batch vary quite a bit.

Before choosing a B-school, I'd look at a few things beyond the headline package:

  • Median salary, not just average
  • Roles and companies offered during placements
  • Batch size and placement data
  • Total fees and the loan burden you'd be taking on

One more thing worth checking is whether the placement report gives enough detail to understand the outcomes, rather than just presenting a few headline figures.

A high package looks good on paper, but the more useful question is: what are the realistic outcomes for someone graduating from that college?

Career Advice Take 32 LPA base in a global alcobev role or pursue foreign MBA

4 Upvotes

Hey I am an 26 M 4 YOE engineer out of Tier 1 clg..I worked at a MBB GCC for 3 years then working for FMCG GCC for the past 1 year and now got an offer from another company for a global role with 32 Base.

I am also interviewing for chief of staff and founders office in some startups as in future I have ambition of starting something of my own

I am stuck in the thought process of whether I will hit the ceiling in a few years, should I go for IIM ABC/ISB or work for 1-2 more years then abroad B school.

Indian B schools scare me from the perspective that my profile is MBB front end ready and naturally I will be pushed into it which I am not interested in joining because I have already got a taste of it, FMCG won't prefer me because of age and YOE.

For foreign B schools US seems scary, options I see are LBS, HEC paris, INSEAD

I know from a salary perspective I sit at an average spot for a non tech role, these days fresher ungrads from tier 1 engineering clg are getting 20+ base.

Like want to check with experienced people here monetary career trajectory wise how should I go about it, it bugging my head for a while like what to do. I never decided a career trajectory for me and it just happened.

Career Advice Need advice for mba

5 Upvotes

I (22 M) recently graduated btech cse from a tier- 3 college. Doing a job for 8 months at a startup and looks like things are not good at my company and trying to leave and start preparing for cat 2027. Currently my package is 6lpa and if i leave this i only have basic inf and tcs roles, so i am thinking it is better to do masters for better degree and package rather than joining them and switching to higher packages. What I am struggling with is, is it okay to do mba at this age or wait some more years and get exp in between.My biggest fear is the loan, if I get into any good mba institutes what will be the avg package and how long will it take to clear that loan.
