Hello, I am having 13years+ experience in telecommunications operators & vendors with engineering background.For last few years I have been thinking of doing an mba in relevant field to move forward. Currently I am earning 28lpa & not able to leave my job for full time executive mba. Should I consider for full time via gmat or any online programs from well known b-schools, Would you please suggest..

Ans: If you are already drawing 28 lpa, then leaving a job for doing MBA does not seem to be a good option. But can analyze the placements in these top Executive MBA course. Check if the profiles that they provide are of interest to you. Their average package should be 30+ lpa. Look also at an option of taking a sabbatical from your company to do an executive MBA.
