Or to not MBA? That is the question.
Relatively unhelpful articles on this crop up all the time. I still stand by the fact that whether or not to take one up is a personal decision. I for my own life am still navigated towards a 'no' but I had a funny conversation with a pretty senior guy at work about this the other day that I wanted to capture.
There I was at lunch, mulling over some relatively consuming doubts about whether or not I was more likely to hit a wall at le Goog without having done one. This regional director took the seat across from me so I told him what was on my mind -
Him: You're forgetting that people do MBAs to get a great job that they love. Do you have a great job that you love?
Me: Yes...
Him: Well, okay then.
Not advice for everyone, but the right advice for me right now. Sometimes it just hinges on who happens to sit next to you over lunch.
