你好，
也許你可以先解釋一下你自己的想法。 我問你一些問題看你可不可以試著回答
1. 為什麼你覺得你現在的工作不能做一輩子？
2. 你認為的MBA是什麼？
3. 如果你拿到了MBA， 你要怎麼選擇你畢業後的第一份工作？
4. 你認為MBA可以給你一個一輩子的工作嗎？
關於你的問題
1.回來台灣的薪水會比我現在的工作要賺的多嗎?
2.轉換跑道真的能越換越好嗎?
很不幸的， 這兩個的答案都是"看情形"
我可能要知道你現在的薪水才能給你一點更明確的建議
不過最後的答案應該還是一樣
MBA的特性是師父(學校)領進門， 修行在個人。
所以師父有高低， 自己的修行也有高低
跟其他的碩士比起來， MBA自己的修行重要很多
如果你不喜歡這種不確定性， 還是建議你再多想想
不過如果你是一個有計劃/目標的人(計劃跟目標不是不能改), 你會念的比較快樂

Keeping up the pace (1 post per month)
Another month flew by... It's not that there is nothing to write, but too many things happened that I don't know where to start.
Work-wise, things are falling into a pattern, but it looks like there will be change soon. Aside from the organizational change, I am starting to think about what is the essence of my job function:
Before MBA, I was just an engineer. Taking orders from the boss/customer, and making something out of it. Being specialized in database helped somewhat on the autonomy issue, because I was the only one who understood the methodology, so I was pretty much free to design the structure as I wish. What was the reason I decided to leave? It seemed so long ago, but I remembered that I didn't dislike what I was doing，but I wanted to do something different, and 'bigger.' Didn't have a concrete idea, but thought MBA was a good way to try, so I did.
Then, life took me for a spin. First 2/3 of my first year in MBA, I had no idea what I wanted to do. Consulting was my short term goal in my application letter, but I found out quickly that I wouldn't like the style (and they wouldn't want me. ha). Then just before my first finance class started, I flirted with the idea of making corporate finance as my primary plan... I quickly scrapped that idea too... next I thought about the gaming industry, but the jobs are too few in between (in terms of MBA hires). Struggling for a long time, I finally set my career plan as: Business Planning/Development in Hi-Tech (Primary), and whatever I can find (Secondary). Realistically, I knew that my chance at a BD job was slim. My school didn't even have a BD-specific career lead, but Hi-Tech industries in general fit my background well. I was also prepared for worst case scenario where I wouldn't find an intern. Luckily, the opportunity came knocking and I was prepared for it. That's how I ended up here.
So what is business development? For the past 2 months, I think I am doing more planning than developing. Basically, it's doing a feasibility study. You look at the industry (ecosystem), need of customer, and propose a business model. The difficult part is not coming up with these models, but standing behind them. Not every assumption/business model will be true, but you need to have an explanation (not answer) to these and be able to change it when it actually comes to implementation. Looking at it, I still have a lot to learn.
