pushpitkc: I also have an additional point. I believe there are a lot of folks who have the perspective that no matter how many years of experience you have. You land up starting from lower points in the salary ranges when you complete your MBA. I heard a few candidates talking about it and seemed very confident about this thing, which I failed to understand - WHY is that? I met a few folks at an MBA fair recently, attended a couple of meetings on behalf of a friend of mine. During a general chat with them, they mentioned that a lot of MBA grads from Schulich/else where in Canada, lands up starting their careers again after MBA. Is it a myth or reality?
AnubhavK,
Not sure about the lower point - Lower point in dollars, more in rupees maybe!
Also, it isin't always necessary that you will always start at a lower point.
Why are starting salaries lower? I am not an expert, but this is what I think
It is mostly true for people switching job functions. Lets say somebody with 3-4 years of experience in IT,
post MBA is eyeing a different role(lets say in Real Estate) He/She is bound to start with a lower point.
Also, your relevant work experience is measured as experience in Canada(which for most people is negligible)
so that also puts you at a disadvantage when compared to people in Canada.
