Applied for 2nd Round, Interviewed on January 28 in San Francisco.
5 years in Big 4 Beijing, 1.5 year in Big 4 US, undergraduate from Tsinghua U., GMAT 730, TOEFL 267.
Since I am still interested to continue my career in the public accounting area, really do not know it is worthwhile to spend 2 years and more than $200K at a MBA program, tough decision.
Willing to hear some advise from all of you. Many thanks!
强烈恭喜!but i dont think an mba carries much value for you if you want to stay in public accounting. from your 200k usd calculation, i guess your annual salary is already 100k usd? then in short term, an mba would not help you much in terms of career development and money compensation. but if you put things in a long term context, mba may give you some other benefits, such as a block of time to slow down and examine your past (i believe some ponder over the past is valuable, although you may argue it is too expensive to do so), options open in case you are tired of your current job, new perspectives and skills, etc. ...while saying this, i wonder what is your motive to apply to mba at the first begining. the process is not easy, if you didnt make up your mind, how did you convince yourself to stick it up?
