Although a small sample size, despite their ambitions the BIPOC people I know haven’t been able to reap any professional benefits from it. Whether from access to executive roles, getting taken seriously by venture capital firms, or in their attempts to join venture capital firms. There is a level of discretion in these team forming situations that is not extended to them whether it has anything to do with their race or not, its pretty clear the upwards mobility is not coming from this credential.

For people with their own capital and leverage, it amplifies their ambition if they want. BIPOC don't really have this.

The “average salary” of MBA alumnis is not what is interesting about getting one, for me or them.

Some, or more, examples to the contrary would make it seem less like a total waste of time.
