Drawing from my experience, I reveal why your post-MBA job is largely determined by your pre-MBA background - regardless of which prestigious institution you attend. I explain why answering the "Why MBA?" question correctly is crucial not just for admissions, but for setting realistic expectations about your career trajectory. I break down the real value of an MBA beyond just salary packages. I also tackle the misconception that an MBA guarantees easy career pivots, sharing my personal consulting journey and how ROI calculations often miss the true long-term benefits. Whether you're preparing for CAT or considering top business schools like IIMs, ISB, or XLRI, this video offers the reality check you need before investing in your MBA education. #MBAReality #CareerAdvice #MBAAdmissions Ankur Warikoo is an internet entrepreneur and India's leading career mentor, reaching: 12Mn+ followers across YouTube, LinkedIn, Instagram, Twitter and Facebook 3X Bestselling author of Do Epic Shit (2021), Get Epic Shit Done (2022) Make Epic Money (2024), and Build an Epic Career (2025) Founder of WebVeda.com - an online school empowering young Indians, with 400,000+ career success stories and counting A career catalyst who's been both the interviewer and interviewee, the founder and the funded, the mentor and the mentee Having navigated multiple career pivots (from physicist to consultant to CEO to content creator), he's now dedicated to helping you build an extraordinary career without making the same mistakes he did.
