Hello. I also have a degree from India ( not a diploma mill) and I did my masters in the US. Here is my handicap of your situation.( Will contain blatant stereotyping and biases,but comes from a good place) Your primary reason for MBA comes down to money, so if you are in the bay area and work at one of the FANG, I would suggest some networking,mentoring and advising. Easiest way to money is start solving a problem the FANG have. (I will be rude here but again this is just some random stranger to you, so feel free to ignore) You will never start something, with this mindset. You are already risk balancing our MBA with a home, if you think you can exit in some way In 2 yrs , then go ahead and try. As regards to being an outlier and people looking down on you. WHY DO YOU GIVE A FUCK EHAT OTHER PEOPLE THINK? What will your family think if you do a start-up and fail ? How can you take risks when you read that statement with any seriousness. Do not do an MBA. I would suggest take a smaller bet on something you want to do. Start something only if the world needs it. Focus on how you can provide value to your employer or if not yourself in the most cost effective way, if that involves an MBA fine, otherwise dont
