Advice for MS and then MBA

Hi mbaMission,

Greetings!!

I wanted some advise for my decision for doing an MS and then going for an MBA. I am a recent engineering graduate from VIT,India. I am having option to go for an MS in Computer Science, but at the end of the day I want to do an MBA. As I do not have enough work experience to get into a good B-School , I was thinking of going for a MS and pursue a Career abroad and then after gaining some experience I can go for an MBA.

Is pursuing an MBA after MS and some work experience good enough than working for some years in India and then go for MBA.???

Another issue is that the job I currently have does not have a good compensation. I think instead of doing a job where the pay is low I can rather go for an MS on a scholarship my tuition fees is waived off , I would only have to only bear the living expenses. After the completion of MS I will have a good paying job and then go for an MBA after some work ex.
Can this reason be good enough to pursue an MS and then MBA.??

Please provide me your expert advice.

Looking forward to your reply.

Regards

Hello Nick,

Great question. If you really want to get an MBA, I would suggest that you start working towards it right away by getting your foot in the door at a company where you can move from a technical role to more of a business role. A 2 year MS in CS is only going to take you down a more technical path and make it more difficult to justify a switch later down the road. This is a very personal decision, but from the perspective of MBA admissions, an MS in CS will not help you and will make a transition harder.

Good luck,
Mili
