to start up a firm do you need MBA??




No You Dont. But, when you go full time or a good school, there is a good chance that most of your peers are either from other jobs with good contacts or with good financial background with financial background.

In either case, if you network well with them, it is easy to get into the group and do something.

b) If after a decade of working, you want to do MBA - only do a full time MBA from a top 10-20 school. Otherwise your opportunity cost of lost pay and the real cost of your tuition will never be recouped. People i have interviewed earlier used to give me vague answers like " i want to move from tech to management" but that does not cut ice. Your company is not going to shift you from a tech lead to leading BD just because you did an MBA.

I can't say how it helps midway through your career as i did mine straight after my graduation. A few pointers though:

a) I don't see any value in these part time, executive type courses. I may be harsh, but many of the times the real value of an MBA is not in the course itself, but the high benchmark for entry which leads to a high quality input - high quality output scenario. What the college provides is the right finishing, icing, roughing the edges kind of stuff. Exec MBA courses ki entry barriers are low, so you get a middling batch with middling ambitions and muddled plans.

b) If after a decade of working, you want to do MBA - only do a full time MBA from a top 10-20 school. Otherwise your opportunity cost of lost pay and the real cost of your tuition will never be recouped. People i have interviewed earlier used to give me vague answers like " i want to move from tech to management" but that does not cut ice. Your company is not going to shift you from a tech lead to leading BD just because you did an MBA.

c) An MBA will work only when you want to change careers completely and then reinvent yourself. Like if you want to become a banker after a decade of coding. That is possible (only in the west though).

Hope this is useful.

very good opinion... a few of my classmates went to kelloggs and wharton after 2 years in technology... and statistically thats how the MBA class looks like - 2-5 years experience. it does makes sense......


Commonman:

For, it is just my opinion.

Your career direction will be totally diff if you do mba at the beginning of your career. U will go into management track. If you work in IT (tech) for 10 years and then do MBA, it will not change your career direction much. Most of the companies don't care if you have mba or not as long as you are in IT. If you have good leaderhship skills in you then you will already be in sr management with your exp. U don't need mba to propel.

as many say, mba gives you exposure, networking etc. With 10+ years in IT, u should already have all of these by now. If you couldn't build a network in 10 years then u can't expect a miracle from 1-2 years part time mba

same goes for tech certifications. zero value IMO. I will stay far away from a company which values such tech certifications.

i don't even have bachelors degree. did reasonably well (relatively) in the career anukuntunna. No one asked for my academic credentials till date.

Depends on how you intend to use your MBA for your career growth. Two examples in my circle, both did Exe. MBA from Georgetown. One got it paid by company, one paid for himself (close to 100K). The guy who paid for himself has 100K debt and still doing the same old job. The one who got it for free is one of the executives of a start up firm. The start up firm was founded by all MBA classmates. If it is not in you, then there is no point doing it for the sake of doing it. MBA gives you an opportunity to network with like minded people, how well you use that network to advance your career is totally up to you.

Very good post. More practical way to approach it.


Dma:

Here are a few.

1. He had masters degree in Agricultural BSc in India. He came here and dis his Masters in Ag BSc and started Phd in Ag Bsc. I happened to meet him and told him about the IT industry. He quit his Phd and joined MBA (IT). Later, he got trained in SAP and doing well in management position in one of the big consulting companies.

2. This is an american friend. He did his Bachelors in Statistics. He did MBA(Finance) from a reputed University - full time. very ambitious person. He joined a Utility company and in Analytics Management position.

3. Know a bunch of friends from a company. They all did Online MBA as their company was paying for it. Very few people (out of 10 I know - may be 1 or 2) moved into Team lead positions. I dont think MBA itself was the primary reason.

4. Another friend, who did full time from an Ivy League University. He got a lot of contacts and started a company and with his contacts, he has been very successful in his business.

5. Another friend, did his MBA(Finance) full time from another IvyLeague and he is doing well in one of the financial institute in wall street.

6. Another friend did from a well known University Full time. After that, he started a consultancy in his field and doing very well. (He is not in IT).

These are just a few of the cases from my friends.

Here are a few observations from my experience:

- Just by doing MBA, you would not get automatic benefits. You need to try hard to grow beyond also and take some risks on the way.
- Doing MBA full time seems to give more success
- University matters in the sense - everybody told me that the most they gained out of MBA was "Contacts and Network". Doing MBA online does not help you with this very important aspect of what they told me.

Yep we can say post-2010 SC industry has pretty much reached saturation...These days it has become so much difficult to get any papers accepted.....100's of publications vachina labs nunchi kuda last 5 years lo hardly 5,6 papers vasthunnayi...few of the EE profs are looking towards bio-medical engg....

other than sensors , MEMS current active research topics include RF design, power/leakage optimization, sub-threshold design, Asynchronous design....There is good amount of funding on these topics from industry....

I did not do it personally. but, I know a lot of my friends who did their MBAs from different Universities, (they are with different backgrounds but, all of them are in IT industry) and had different experiences.

Here are a few.

1. He had masters degree in Agricultural BSc in India. He came here and dis his Masters in Ag BSc and started Phd in Ag Bsc. I happened to meet him and told him about the IT industry.

Will the school where u do MBA count??




yes, it always counts. MBA impact has a lag - short term lo immediate ga antey, only if you switch careers. School helps in the alumni strength. a tier 2 MBA will not give you that strength. If you can, avoid part-time MBAs; management thinking anedhi complete ga undaali antey, you gotta be on the campus; attend seminars, sit through various classes, interact with people from diverse backgrounds etc.

if you want to gain simple financial and marketing knowledge, there are many online courses.

7+ exp in analog design


wow....Good to Know :-)

DO you already have masters? unte parledu..lepothe interviews lo maree adesukuntunnaru....especially in analog field...ade table ki itu side phD unte treatment lo chala diff undi :-)

But Unfortunately not many profs would be interested in part-time phD students, So I had to go for full time phd program, but the best part about US schools is we can get phD admission even if we dont have masters degree..agressive ga unte MS+phD 4 years lo ayipothundi....ofcourse it depends on advisor and topic.....ee option explore chesara?

I had the same confusion few years ago.....After working for 8+ years in the semiconductors industry, I had to choose between an MBA or a PhD....explored both the options ,talked to my colleagues, managers, MBA cousins..... finally I felt that core engg teams lo technical ladder lo undalanukune vallaki MBA waste ...




ippudu nenu ide cross roads lo unnanu... 7+ exp in analog design. pretty convinced that, MBA degree is not of much help. any better options unte seppandi annai..
Future is not to be predicted.. It is to be created...

Do you plan to make a move, if you want to continue in the same semiconductor field, advanced degree is nice to have.




Exactly...

If you wish to continue in the semiconductor field and would like to use your MBA just to move to management ladder peddaga use undaka povachu.....mee company lo program managers culture unnattundi but still they prefer PhDs over MBAs to own the products and manage teams

Do you plan to make a move, if you want to continue in the same semiconductor field, advanced degree is nice to have. Did you decide your concentration...Finance, Operations....MBA will give you a comprehensive understanding of business operations from all aspects beyond the view and domain of a technologist. You need to evaluate if thats what you are looking for.




Dont know if you are referring to me. Naa MBA chinnappude ayyipoyindhi..so no more field changes.

MBA and see any big jump professionally ???



MBA value is enormous from a long term perspective, if you are looking for a quick fix, its not the best option as it prepares you for future challenges rather than your next job.

No 1 reason to do an MBA is to switch career field. If you go into Investment Banking or Management Consulting, your pay will increase. Same field lo ayithe unlikely to see any career growth just because you did an MBA.

NewMember brother,

Semi-conductor industry will be there, don't you worry. In the long run mba degree will help. You will learn enough about finance. Mgmt accounting and H.R stuff. Is it worth $60k or $110k ani adigithey, I can't put a number. It comes down to your management's perception.

If you decide to go for it, this would be a right time in your career. I wish I did this 5 years earlier.

If you decide to go for it, the school really doesn't matter for people with decent experience. School rating matters for people who are looking for a first job. At the same time I don't think on-line MBA carries any value.

Pipeline garu...thx for the info.
Right now i am like a lead engg...
Because of the economy, my company doesnt pay for MBA.
If i want to do, its gonna be frm my pocket...
The whole point is not to grow in my company, but to increase my market and reach.
Since i am in semiconfuctor industry, i am not sure what the fate is going to be.

Don't do on-line programs, complete waste. In class is better and in executive programs you get a decent cohort.

I am finishing my executive MBA by end of April. Started in August 2011, its a 4 semester program. Every other friday and saturday full day classes (8am to 5pm, 5 courses in each semester. No exemptions in #of courses, fixed program. I am an engineer to start with and worked with financial/commercial groups for 15 years so the overall content is not tough but it comes down to time management. Basically your life is on hold for that duration.

Career ki use ayinda ante ayindani cheppagalanu. Its sponsored by my company and paid by them in full ($60k). I also moved up a position since I started this. It all depends on your company, some value MBA and some don't give a damn. Personally I didn't learn much but its all perception of the executive management.
