I did not change my job throughout the 6 years. I just have a good boss and MBA does help me frame my thoughts in handling issues at work.

Overall, it is a good investment as long as you can make the most out of it.
The key Qn for prospective mba students is how much of the pay rise above is directly due to the mba, & how much of this is due to normal career progression (ie 1 or 2 promotions in 6y) + normal pay increase (ie finance professionals in many had foreign banks saw a significant increase in base pay as political pressure on bonuses ratcheted up in 2009 - 10).

Reality is that most employers in singapore do not pay meaningfully extra if their existing employees get an mba. Indeed for many companies, unless they r sponsoring u 4 an emba, do not view an employee doing a 3 yr part time MBA (and leaving office early many a day) in a positive light.
