Thanks in advance!

Depends on your background now. In this part of the world, most funds don't have a strict MBA requirement for progression so if you already have the requisite experience to get a seat, the MBA is a waste of money. It also costs a lot more than 250k if you add in 2 years of lost income.
If you have aspirations of working in the US, then it makes more sense. On comp, the range is quite large. Megafund PE would be US$250K-300K all-in, mid-mkt PE will be slightly to significantly lower.
