Hi
I am a 31 yr old, currently working as a data scientist/Credit risk analyst in a European bank, after my PhD in engineering (in computational research from one of the top 5 universities in Europe). I have 1.5 years experience as a software developer (in an international automotive company) prior to my PhD (4yrs) and 2 yrs experience as data scientist in a bank after my PhD.
I find it interesting to work on broader areas with a group of people, rather than in a confined topic. I was wondering if at the age of 31-32, with roughly 3.5 yrs of industrial/finance experience + 4yrs PhD experience, is it a good idea to do an MBA. Your input on the pros and cons would be highly appreciated.
Regards

Welcome back and interesting post!
I think one of the questions you need to answer in your application is how you’re planning to use an MBA if you already have a PhD.
This is one of the challenges of admission… not so much a personal decision.
In terms of your choice, it’s really up to you if you want to spend another two years or 12 months in school. I think you have a decent chance and would likely catch and I have a number of recruiters after business school. However, I feel that MBA it’s kind of Leica step towards a certain goal or direction. And I feel we should only make steps move into direction when you know where you want to travel. You don’t really ask if making a left turn is a good idea without knowing if you’re going to Paris or Berlin. I feel it would be important to figure out what you want to accomplish and your career goals before answering the question if business school is the right choice after a PhD. It’s very well may be… but in general, especially in Europe, I feel the ROI is not as significant.
