Hi Sir, I'm 24. I have an MSc from IIT Madras and I'm working in IT as a tester in a very stable company. I earn 12 lpa currently and also have excellent Work life balance. I am happy working here because the job is not very demanding and also I get to work remotely from home. However I have an offer from IIM Shillong for its PGP program. MBA from an IIM has always been a dream ( I gave CAT in '22 and got 98.5 percentile, last year I got 99.5 percentile) but I'm not sure if leaving my job in this case would be the right decision. I am sure of not giving CAT again at risk of getting burnt out.

Hello I am 30 yr old female,I have 3yr of gap as I was preparing for upsc,then I switched to public sector banking by qualifying govt exam.I worked there for 2 years.As I was not satisfied with the working environment and incentives I started preparing for cat.I left my job to prepare full time for cat.Bit due to exam day fear I am unable to perform well on the d day of cat.I am guilty that I left job but at that time I was confident I will clear it.Right now I am working at an IT startup.I am utilising the time by upskilling but I still want to do MBA.I have to start as a fresher in IT Sector which feels like a shock to me and salary is less.I am struggling and also not eligible for govt exams.

Actually, I am 32 year male, unmarried and currently working in an Education Sector as a Content Manager/ Subject Matter Expert from the past 4 years. And, I did my BE in the year 2014 and since then I was preparing for UPSC civil services and even appeared in the interview but unfortunately didn’t tasted the success and join this industry on this basis. Whereas, I am got stagnated here and not getting much in term of salary or career growth and looking forward for doing MBA to switch my career field to analytics/Finance. I did Master in Public Administration in distance mode while I was preparing because this was my optional. Previous month, I took admission in Executive MBA from IIT Patna but unfortunately, its substandard in terms of quality and learning. I have certain doubts, Please let me help to come to the conculsion. Shall I go with the Full time MBA at 32 age by giving CAT/GMAT? Shall I opt for executive MBA from IIMs like Indore, Kashipur etc, here I have concern related to placements, considering 12 Lakh Fee? Shall I do 1 year full time PGP at IIM Indore, ISB or any good institutions for the change? Or shall I opt for CFA/FRM along with my IIT Patna Executive MBA? I am way behind my collogues and even not settled due to my UPSC unsuccessful attempts, I need to switch the filed. Please revert and help me out tin clearing my dilemma, I am really very confused right now.,
