Is MBA Still Worth It in 2023? Here's the Next Thing.

Are Master's degrees still valuable or have the times changed?

Deniz is hands down the best career advisor I have ever met or seen. He really opened my eyes when I was applying for jobs.

Your advice helped me get my first job out of college.

Hope you keep posting!

so true, got my MBA 20 years ago and this was already happening; I ended up going back and getting a masters in computer science

Hi Denis,
I am really happy to see that you are back, I should say that it is so useful to watch your videos and see the perspectives you share.
I actually invest in books a lot 😊.

I generally never comment on YT but this time I will! I watched your videos (the long ones) and they were extremely helpful. So glad to see you're back!!

I'm here because I saw one of your YouTube videos posted in a course I'm currently on as a supporting learning materials, I was impressed by the way you breakdown strategy and how we can even apply it to our day to day life.

Deniz - Great content as usual. I think it is important to make the distinction that not all of these programs are equal. For example in the US, HBS/Wharton both have expensive formalized executive education options and then other cheaper credential options through edX/Coursera. Both offer brand name access, but not equal in terms of platform, program, networking, etc.

Sir!!!! Thank you so much!!! You are literally an inspiration, you are actually the one of the many people I have learnt from who pushed me to do my best, letting me gain confidence in how I think & what I do. I owe so much to you sir!!! Thank you yet again!💜

Thank you Deniz. I agree with this assessment and it is a path that I am following.

In the age of modularisation, I feel it is no longer required to buy the whole package. Fit for purpose executive education is a really good alternative for fraction of the cost, and shows the potential employer that a candidate is committed to continuous improvement.

A finance professional might want to pursue the MIT Micromasters in Finance as opposed to a full MBA for example, in oder to elevate their profile and get MIT branding on the resume.

Hi Deniz...
After a long long time back...
Love to see you again in YouTube

[Tactical_DZ]

Very helpful video, thank you, I am aiming to work as a Supply Chain and Operations Manager, currently I'm a Floor Supervisor (supervising inbound, storage, and outbound operations). I have graduated with my Associates of Science in Economics and Bachelors of Science in Economics; this upcoming Spring 2024 semester I will be starting my MBA program and at 29 years old I am very focused on getting into that managerial position within the next 3 years. I appreciate your insights and thoughts on an MBAs worth - I believe to each their own when it comes to deciding the level of worth or amount of value the curriculum and degree will bring them - if it helps you get what you want or increases the chance of you getting what you want, then your efforts will pay off exponentially, this isn't a rule by any means, but typically with greater risk comes greater reward. Still to this day education is an excellent approach which has shown historical results for those who apply themselves after graduation. Approaching your future career or achieving your short- or long-term goals require consistent planning and execution.

Very insightful and great to hear from you after such a long time. Hope you are doing well. Would love to watch more vidoes coming our way😊

[Murphator]

SO WELL PUT wow.... true honest wisdom here.... thank you

[alaaazzam]

9:00 - 9:29 -> A great & concise conclusion ! Thank you !

[andriyroma]

MBA programs are slowly getting less common. Yes, it is true that there was a time when it became very popular and lots of people were getting it. However, people slowly realizing that many online MBA programs don't do anything for them, essentially waste of time and money.

Hi Deniz

It is great to see you after such a long time. Some time ago I watched all of your videos twice, now I am on my way to a million dollars and I credit some of this success to you!

[Bluesnakes]

If not a brand name, my take is that the extra letters after your name might make you a little more attractive as a candidate, perhaps increase the chance you’d get the job over someone else without a masters. Perhaps this would not be worth the cost, if it only helps a small amount. Also, experience > degree(s).

Would you agree, or add your thoughts? Thank you for this content. It helps a great deal.

One year until the next video, c'mon... But thank you for yet an other useful video about the job market.
