Should I do an MBA after B.Tech in CSE even though I already have a decent product-based job?
I recently completed my B.Tech in CSE and got placed in a product-based company with around 65K in-hand salary per month after deductions. I’m quite satisfied with the job and the work environment so far, but a lot of relatives and friends keep telling me to go for an MBA.
Their argument is that a B.Tech alone doesn’t hold much value anymore, and that doing an MBA will boost my salary and career growth in the long run. Personally, I’m a bit conflicted. I don’t want to waste time or money if it doesn’t actually add much value.
If I ever decide to do one, it would most likely be an online MBA, so I can continue working while studying. But I’m not sure how much employers actually value online MBAs compared to regular ones.
So, for those who’ve been in a similar situation — is doing an MBA (especially online) after B.Tech really worth it? Or should I just focus on gaining experience and growing within the tech domain?
Would appreciate any honest opinions or real experiences.
