NUS MBA - is it worth my time?

by Judy » Fri Mar 20, 2015 1:16 am
Hi there,

I'm currently earning close to 200K SING DOLLAR without doing MBA as an individual contributor in IT firm.
I would like to do a part time MBA @ NUS or Nanyang but am not sure if it would be worthwhile.
Recently I ran into numbers of INSTEAD MBAs and it seems those titles / connections are necessary to move into director / C-level and you need to leverage your networks to continue to maintain job streams.

My background - worked in global Fortune 100 IT companies for 7+ years (Systems Engineer, Consultant)
Fluently speak 3 languages and am currently taking an Asia Pacific Management Role
Academic wise - Poor GPA (B Avg in Arts / C Avg in Bsc in World's Top 30 school)

The reason why I would like to do MBA is to obtain business acumen but it seems to be a heavy investment of time and money if I will not expect to see my salary double or triple.

Any advice would be appreciated.
