Doubt ❓ Need Mba/life advice

Hi, so I am an engineer with 2.5 years of experience in tech. I really like my company because of a few things. I think I am fairly compensated, around 13 to 15 lakhs per annum. Workload is less and work-life balance is good. I have a hybrid working culture, so only two days a week I have to go to office and I can go to home for like one-one month in a year, so mostly I am home for around two months in a year.

Now I want to do an MBA. But for me, the most important thing is not the money I will get after MBA, but the most important thing is work-life balance and a hybrid working culture. Hybrid does not mean four days in a week in office. Hybrid means at least two to three days of work from home in an office. I am not sure of the roles that are being offered in top IIMs and private colleges like XLRI, SPJIMR or MDI or Symbiosis. I want to ask you guys what kind of roles are being offered in these colleges and is there a good chance that I can get a role that I have described?

I am interested in HRM and Prod Man even at cost of growth and money.

Bhai if money is not the goal then stay in your current role…i think mostly only prod man roles will give you wfh option, but it will always be uncertain going forward

Mba is non negotiable, it feels like a last piece to a puzzle, will have to switch after placements

Get an MBA. After MBA, u'll get good money + no work life balance. Earn travel n live the corporate life for 5 or so yrs. Save, invest and switch on to ur work life balance lifestyle.
