Friend 1: Boss! I really want to move to the strategic level of management; I'm sick and tired of sitting at the desk and coding all day. I'm more of a people person and I'd like to drive things. Friend 2: Hmm, sounds interesting. But why do you want to transition now and what’s your plan? Friend 1: Oh, I'm planning to pursue an MBA in General Management or consulting or product development. I want to get into a mid-management role where I can lead and drive initiatives. You should join me; we both can do an MBA from an Ivy League or ISB, and one day, we'll be CEOs of top companies. Friend 2: I like the thought very much, but I love coding, and I see myself retiring as a senior programmer or a computer architect. Leading teams or strategic planning is not my cup of tea. I find joy in sitting down and coding, making an impact in my own way. Friend 1: Hmm, interesting! So, what's your plan, bud? How do you intend to take this forward? Friend 2: Well, I want to pursue an MS in Computer Science with a specialization in AI or ML. This way, I can make a greater contribution to technological developments. Above is a conversation inspired from our sessions we've had with our students from technology background. Interestingly, friend 1 is the one who gets burnt out in a coding job and wants to go for an MBA, while the other friend loves coding. The key takeaway here is that one size doesn't fit all. Choose a program that aligns with your interests, personality, and the type of work you would love doing. Self-introspect before making a crucial decision to pursue a graduate program. We're always happy to help and offer a Discovery Session aimed at helping you find your fit. Get in touch- https://lnkd.in/d4_epivK
