Hi! Thanks for the question.
Here are quotes about the benefits of an MBA degree from written
sources in articles and from some individuals.
1. ?The MBA allows a superior understanding of management. The second
benefit is to learn to work in a team and work together using complex
case studies and discussing the most current topics in today's
business world with your teammates and your class. Leadership is also
a skill developed that will teach you the ability to work well with
others, communicate, and share your desire to excel through
collaboration. Another benefit is the unique opportunity that you have
to meet, in the span of only a year or two, hundreds of highly
qualified and interesting people from all over the world.?
2. ?The MBA degree gives you all the skills to manage complex issues
in a global environment and puts at you disposal a large network of
graduates. Thanks to these 2 assets, you will have a better chance to
attain top management positions. This is why in the top programs, MBA
graduates have an average of 2-3 job offers upon graduation and a
significant salary boost anywhere from 30-50%.?
3. ?An MBA degree is also an asset for entrepreneurs. Indeed, in the
last 10 years, it has become more common that someone with high
technical skills would decide to start an MBA before starting with a
company.?

degree that is recognized worldwide and one that is associated with
international exposure.?

30% with an average salary between 50-100,000 Euro. Same in North
America where the improvement is between 30 and 50% with a starting
salary of $80,000-$100,000 (bonus included).?
