For a $200,000 MBA program, statements like ‘find your true passion’ has no particular meaning. Life experience has shown that chasing happiness has a financial cost. Less stressful and happy jobs have a low pay. So we take the pressures of the ‘popular’ job on the chin and assume that it is normal to feel down in our daily routine. This is a myth that has been propagated by previous generations, masking it in the form of ‘paying one’s dues’ and ‘you have to put in the work’ and ’10,000 hours of BS’.

After a too-good-to-be-true climb in stock prices and revenue, the Technology industry faced its biggest slump since the dot com crisis in 2001. The high was followed by massive layoffs of close to 10-15% of workforce. The cuts began to be announced in late 2022. Business Schools had to come up with new deadlines just for those affected by the layoff.
Management Consulting – the most popular post-MBA industry, is poised to be worth $330 billion in 2023 and, by 2025, reach closer to the $350B mark.
