Hi,

Looking to seek advice or links to articles / threads about the benefits of doing an MBA. Most information I've found online is aimed at international students wanting to study in the UK - however I am a UK national already working in the UK.

I've received a couple of MBA offers including for Manchester and trying to weight up the trade-off between time/cost and future benefit.

I am a UK finance / chartered accountant professional in late 20s with 6-7 years of work experience, now operating in managerial / financial controller roles - I am guess I am already on a good career path to become a CFO / Finance Director but wondering if an MBA can further if.

Benefits I'd look to get from an MBA are:

1. Open up other career paths outside of finance (not interesting in consulting however) i.e. Commercial, Strategy or Business Development for example.

2. Accelerate my finance career path / earning potential if I choose to stay in this field.

3. Improve Network.

Any advice is welcome? Apologies if missed out any crucial detail - so just ask.

Thank you in advance.
