I’ve been working in a BPO for the past 3 years and currently earning a decent salary, but I don’t see long-term growth in this field. I want to transition into a corporate role, ideally in marketing or digital marketing.

I’m considering doing an online MBA in Marketing along with a digital marketing course, but I’m not sure how valuable these actually are in the job market.

My main questions:

Is it realistically possible to switch from BPO to corporate roles with my background?

Do online MBAs carry enough weight for recruiters, or are they mostly ignored?

Would a digital marketing course + practical skills (projects, internships, freelancing) be a better route?

What kind of salary/package can I realistically expect after switching?

I’m willing to put in the effort, but I don’t want to waste time and money on something that won’t move the needle.

Would appreciate honest advice from people who’ve made a similar switch or are working in corporate roles.

I’m 21, working in a BPO (night shifts for 3 years), earning around ₹50–60k/month. I joined to support myself since my dad (auto driver) has financial pressure.

I’ve done B.Com, but I feel completely stuck and mentally drained. I don’t see a future in this field.

I once tried CA Foundation and failed, and now I’m unsure about long courses like CS.

Right now I’m confused:

Take an education loan and go for a full-time MBA

Or keep working, save more, and do an online MBA

I want to switch careers but don’t want to take a wrong financial step.

What would you do in my position?
