Thank you! Hahaha it's ironic right? That MBA's supposed to teach you structure, yet when it comes down to it, everyone's just hustling. Things don't really change from undergrad ;)

Thank you for your support! I really appreciate it :)

Glad it was helpful!

I appreciate that man!

Absolutely! I'm glad it helped. Just a lot of observations and lessons on this massive decision. Best of luck my friend!

Thank you! iThoughtsX

Hey Karim, congrats - these are both great schools. Funny enough I went to undergrad Haas and MBA LBS. They are very different. If you're considering a career switch to tech, I'd say go with Haas because of its proximity to the Valley. If you want broader international exposure then LBS. This is overly simplified but it captures the essence of the schools.

Honestly Uyiose, I think you should look at the MBA as a personal equation rather than just a professional one. This is because you belong to the very small % of students who come from a purely entrepreneurial background. You already have what it takes to succeed, which means you don't actually need business school for learning because you already know "business" through living. This is by far the most important and practical way of learning. However, by entering bschool, you will be giving yourself the space and time to consider new options as well as answer some deep seated personal questions. The confusion you *feel* is a symptom of those questions. It is actually something that is very difficult to find purely rational reasons to justify. I would recommend you checking out these two videos because this is less about going to MBA, and more about discovering who you want to be and where you want to take your life.

@@ShengHuang Hi Sheng, from your observation, do someone with the background like that of Uyiose will be given an interview shot to tech pm role, consulting or finance in the top mba programs, or what corporate career tracks would they more likely have a chance to pivot to if they decide to not go back to their own business but to corporate instead?

Haha, thanks for the compliment! It really does feel like a lifetime ago, doesn't it? Being the president of the e-club at LBS and having the opportunity to support entrepreneurs was an incredible experience, one that I look back on with a lot of fondness. I hope you're doing well and continuing to thrive in your startups!

I think given your finance background, going for the MBA will expose you to more diverse mindsets and possibilities. Given how unpredictable and fast changing the world is, this diversity will help a lot. However, I also understand the cost so be sure to explore other options to gain that breadth.

100% that's a good strategy.

Not worth it tbh unless for the network. The world's changing too fast for class lessons (except those about org behavior and strategy).

LBS. hands down. I'm bias AF but you will never regret London my friend.
