Hello Everyone,
I need to choose between Goizueta Evening (Part time) MBA and Stern Part time MBA. Without considering the following stern is definitely the winner. Kindly go through the following and let me know what you think
Current industry - Tech. I am an analytics professional
Post MBA - Tech consulting or Product management or Senior roles in Analytics/ Marketing analytics. More inclined towards product management. I will stay in tech industry only.
Post MBA location- I could stay in US for 2 more years and will then go back to India. So I also need to consider brand image in India. Going to India is certain.
Tuition Fee - With the $10,000 scholarship, Goizueta fee is $63,600. Stern tuition fee is $129,480. The difference is $65,880
Cost of living/ Quality of living - I think Atlanta beats New York and New Jersey hands down. Weather also favors Atlanta.
Current tech employment situation - Don't need to talk about New York. New York and surrounding areas have plenty of job opportunities in tech. Atlanta is a loser compared to New York, but is not bad either because it also has lots of companies, including big ones like Delta, Coca Cola etc., which fill tech positions. So If I loose my job, I can find one in both comfortably
School Tech reputation- From my research both schools are great for Consulting and Marketing. Stern is also strong in Finance. Both don't place many individuals in tech functions (low percentages). But I will have 9 years in tech by the time I graduate. So don't need additional cushion from schools. I am going to hone leadership, build network and learn marketing knowledge during MBA. These skills with my tech background will help me achieve my POST MBA career goals
Community- Since I am from India, I would like to have some Indian presence to stay connected to my roots. Both places are great in that regards. Both are cosmopolitan cities
Spouse Job Opportunities- She is pursuing Oncology and will graduate in 2019. Seems like it is much easier for her to find a job in New York- New Jersey than in Atlanta. Because everyone tries to go to Atlanta because of the quality of life it offers.
Spouse preference- She prefers Atlanta over New York- New jersey any day
Friends/ Family- Mane friends in and around New York. Fewer friends in Atlanta. But since Atlanta is culturally very friendly, I am not giving it a lot of importance.
Current Debt- $0. Money is not a problem. My spouse will earn big starting July next year. I earn decently too
Personal Choice- Everything favors Goizueta/ Atlanta except brand. Stern is like a dream for me. Will be a big achievement considering what/who I have always been since schooling. Also, I know Stern is well know in India. Not sure about Goizueta. But Goizueta is less of a financial burden and offers better life
My current location- I live in philly. But moving is not a problem. My spouse agreed for 1 year long distance if I am going to emory
I understand this is a long post. Sorry. Some of the info could be irrelevant to you, but included everything possible because I have seen responders of other posts ask similar questions
By considering the above factors, what do you suggest? Kindly let me know
Is Stern worth $65,880, which I save by attending Goizueta?
Thank You,
DJ

Hey Caesar_1987 ,
Congratulations on the two great admits.
When I looked at the Subject of this email, I thought I would recommend Stern but your analysis made me change my decision. Great research out there!
Now, since your aim is to ultimately return to India, I would prefer to remain as much as debt free as I can.
Your goals are also inline with what Emory is best at. So, my vote goes for Emory.
All the best
