Far as I know, an MBA is well worth it! I don't have an MBA (yet)but I've spoken to a lot of people who do and they feel they're better off after having done an MBA - in terms of job and pay. In fact, you should watch this panel discussion/ read the story on the BusinessBecause website about five people who did MBA from some of the top B-schools, and where they are placed since then. It'll be a great read and will be very very useful. You can follow this link http://www.businessbecause.com/mba-admissions/when... Thanks! smile
your link didn't lead to the right page. Have edited the link and now seems to work

How long it takes to revise for the GMAT is an opened ended question, all depends on your intelligence and aptitude at those style of tests. When I did mine many years back there were numerous sample test books available, give one of them a try and see what you score, then plan how to improve.

You may surprise yourself!

Cheers - I have installed the free GMAT testing software from mba.com or similar (official GMAT site) and have seen a few examples. Think my numerical reasoning may late me down so need to work on that.

At the moment, its the fear of the financial commitment that scares me, not the work.

In my current role, my ceiling comp will be between £100k and £150k within a few years. I am investigating whether an MBA at a top school would open doors to more interesting and varied work and more money or just more of the same elsewhere.
