Private uni MBAs are WORTHLESS.

Welcome to the real world.

Wahkao, I understand what you are going and is also facing a similar situation like your. I suppose the conversation should actually be focused on how to find a job with growth and value that pays well rather than a "niche" role which can vary from people to people.

In fact, my background is worse as compared to yours. I did my undergrad of Business and IT in a private school and graduated in 2010. Then I worked for the top Singaporean university university and some governement bodies for 3 years before taking my MBA in the same private school on a part time basis and graduating this year. Well I won't say I have found my dream role but I am still paid close to 5k a month after a recent job change before graduation.

It is about what you can bring on the table for your prospective employer. Degree is only half of the equation if any. To say that a private school certification is totally worthless is quite irresponsible since they are people from private schools that are also doing decently well in life too so let not look down on people from the private schools. It is just that we have to work smarter than usual. The halo around local uni grad is due to the branding and governmental support

However, honestly speaking, to land into those "niche role" you mentioned like M&A, I would say it takes more than paper to be there. But don't give up.

Higher calibre students also, since the entry requirement is wayyyy higher. As such, they curriculum can be more rigorous. Also, just imagine how competitive the bellcurve is.

The same logic can be applied to the polys. Lower calibre students, not as inclined at learning, as such the curriculum has to be tailored to match their learning capability. If you try to force material with too much depth, the students will just not get it.

Close to 5k a month based on gross monthly salary not inclusive of any bonuses?

How much did your degree and MBA cost respectively?
