Personally I don't know much about it but I think it's pretty overpriced and honestly most of the time such degree wouldn't be able to give you back at least as much you've spent on it.

Since Covid, I think it’s becoming more and more clear that an MBA degree is not just a questionable investment—it’s a risk that’s simply not worth it.
If you want to do a corporate career, yes! For anything else, it's just a piece of paper...
@realvladgolub Oh, so it's like a pricey golden ticket to the corporate chocolate factory! Good for some, but not everyone's treat.
I don't know much about the programme. Still, it always felt like an overly-expensive fancy qualification you do because it is so prestigious, not because it is useful.
@arthur_romanov I completely agree – the high cost of an MBA often feels more about prestige than practical value.
The value of an MBA degree largely depends on the individual's goals, career aspirations, and personal circumstances.
The worthiness of an MBA depends on individual factors such as career goals, financial situation, and personal preferences. It's important to consider potential ROI, networking opportunities, career switching potential, personal growth, and conduct a cost-benefit analysis before making a decision.
I can see the CV allure of an MBA, but it’s not justified by the cost nor practicality. In my opinion it’s a way to make contacts with senior professionals and stay in touch with them post degree.
Indeed it is costly to do MBA but when you have done your studies it is totally worth it. Students choose the MBA program as it is very demanding but after a little time due to having burden and difficulty, they want to quit. It would be easy if the assignment and projects work can be reduced and completed on time, nowadays mostly students are using MBA Assignment Writing Service ( https://essaywriters.ae/mba-assi... ) as it is easy to avail, and getting wring assistance ease their workload so students can easily do MBA which is costly but when it is completed no one student can regret about it.
