If the primary objective is to secure a promotion or higher pay, then there might be disappointment. MBA holders are very common now. What is more critical is your drive/attitude/aptitude and not forgetting your political skills in an MNC (very sad, but true). If your degree is in business/acct and you still do a local MBA, it might be a serious waste of time as well.

I completed an MSc in Economics just to challenge myself. It did nothing to my career, but I made some good friends along the way. Completed it part time at local U, but it did sent a signal to my boss/es that I had the drive + can handle both work and studies well. It was a tough 2 years.
i challenged myself to start a business on the side. it's more rewarding this way. just a different perspective.
