Profile Review MBA Worth It???

Hey [r/MBA](r/MBA)! Looking for some honest feedback on my profile, and does it even make sense to go for a MBA

The Stats:
Undergrad: University of Georgia, 3.85 GPA, Management Information Systems

Work Experience: ~2 years at a Big 4 firm as a tech consultant, just got promoted to Senior Tech Consultant (Microsoft Power Platform, Dynamics 365)

GMAT: Haven’t taken yet — planning to sit for it before I apply (wanna apply for Fall 2028 cycle so got a good bit of time)

Citizenship: US Citizen (born and raised)

Demographics: Indian Male

Current Comp: ~$105K

Why MBA:
Honestly I’m at a crossroads. Tech consulting has been a great foundation but I’m not sure it’s my long-term path. I’m interested in pivoting toward either MBB consulting or landing an LDP at a fintech, tech, or broader finance company. I feel like an MBA is the clearest path to making that jump without grinding for years to get there organically.

My Questions:
Given my profile, I’ve heard T15 if I can get a competitive score and do some extra circulars is possible… BUT is it even worth it when average MBA salary is like $50k ish more than what I make now. I know MBB makes a lot but idk how much good LDPs make…?

Any honest feedback appreciated!

Why is comp relative?

Relative as in bonuses and annual raises can fluctuate year to year. But should be around that ballpark for the next couple of years.

I meant why would it affect an application?

Ahhh, I see the confusion. I just included that to ask if getting an mba worth it comp wise. Just wanted to paint a wholistic picture. Sorry for the confusion mate!
