you'll know when you start job hunting lor

and of cos the companies that respond to you will give an insight to the value of the mba

its just a way some ppl use it to change career, have a leg up on their current career, or simply to have more business knowledge

the degree in which these objectives are met corresponds closely to the reputations of the school conferring the masters

A friend of mine has graduated from a Top 100 MBA for a few months now. He's been trying to find a new job with higher salary, but no such luck both within and outside industry. He works in engineering/IT, has couple years work experience mainly in MNCs. Eloquent and has no interview problems. Just seems to be no vacancy or they find him too expensive. Currently in a funk. Spent few dozen G's on the MBA, still got him nowhere.

So maybe you want to make sure you have company backing before you commit to the MBA. No sense suffering for nothing, when nobody wants to buy what you are selling.

well there is quite frankly a stark if not distinct difference between the top 10 and top 100.
So correspondingly this has an impact on job hunting as well
its good that people go in with this expectations early on.... unfortunately, MBAs are not made equal

Hi,

I am considering whether to study a NUS, SMU or MBS MBA. I am someone with engineering background working in IT line, currently in a middle mgt role, pmp certified, 7 yrs experience totally in IT system implementation work, so far continuously went through 4 project implementation lifecycles. Thinking of switching to banking/finance industry for a different taste of environment, pace and for monetary reasons, if need to, I don't mind doing back system implementation or IT proj mgt work in investment banks. Tried applying before and went interviews before, realized it's quite hard to get the job without prior exp in banks/knowledge in finance or the right networks, even it's a IT job. It seems that the hiring mgrs normally have preference over someone with prior experience from other banks(especially UK/US banks) or even foreign talents with prior "foreign" bank exp frm their homeland.

Anyone managed to switch industry after taking local NUS/SMU MBA or MBS MBA (Finance) ie knowing more ppl through network and after gaining more knowledge in finance ?

Not true la... Maybe he expect too high leh?
Say u got MBA, all you need is ask for another job with an increment of $500 from your last drawn and in the long run, u earn everything back? Plus I see some ad posting senior management jobs which requires Master.

those kind of news has no bearing on pay.
Goldman is a great example.

alot depends on whether the company is cutting from an international perspective or cutting in one area (Europe / USA) and reinvesting them into another (Asia, LATM)

So envious that most of you are talking about reputable MBAs.

Unfortunately, I am not academic nor can I afford a $60k MBA. Recently signed up for a MBA with Aventis School of Management (Arcadia University) @ $26k.

I look forward more to learning the American way, while also networking with my fellow classmates.

Time flies. Started my mba with manchester uni in 2009. Same questions i asked as well. I considered various options like strathclyde n hull n birmingham.

Honestly, the manchester mba has its worth. I had met many corporate senior people and also mid to junior level staff too. They are good for knowledge sharing cos every sem n module got group work, so there lots of opportunity to work with different people.

Just using mba as a title, i think not easy. I had friends who could make promises about being about to secure whatever high flying post. End of the day, its who you meet. Mba only provides an opening.

Whats really important in the course is knowledge accumulation and using that as a door to new jobs. Anyone can do an mba but graduating and to be a competent professsional with fat pay is a totally different thing.
