The True Value of YOUR MBA [#permalink] New post   27 May 2008, 09:36
Now that some people have had a chance to download the spreadsheet (with version 2.0 to arrive shortly), it would be interesting to get an idea of how the results look.

For your reference:
p469782#p469782

My results (based on relatively conservative estimates) : 9 years---yikes! :shock:

I dont think I have done the model justice yet since I only really changed the % growth in income to a relatively more aggressive 5% for both MBA and non-MBA options. Also, havent adjusted salary expectations or even year of matriculation.

but in any case thanx a lot RGUY ... and I look forward to the revised version

Il the bonuses in IB are truly around 200 - 250k like people seem to mention (strub year excepted) then 0-3 years. Not so sure about those figures though (seems like such a BIG amount!!)
