Are you thinking about doing an MBA? After a couple of years into your career as a young professional, it might be a great time to press the reset button and complete your MBA. According to the new Financial Times Global MBA ranking 2020, Harvard Business School offers the best program in the world, followed by Wharton (University of Pennsylvania), Stanford Graduate School of Business (GSB) and INSEAD. From the perspective of an INSEAD MBA, I reflect on my MBA experience and offer reasons why you should and should not do an MBA. I am also discussing why it might make sense to do an MBA as a business undergraduate. If you are thinking about applying for an MBA, watch this video first! It covers key differences among MBA programs and what the return on investment of MBA programs is.
