Ask an MBA Admissions Consultant

Hi All,

This is my first post here..need help!

Took my GMAT today scored 740 Q50 V39. I am a Civil engineering graduate from India and have already done my 2 yr full time MBA from Indian Institute of Management, Ahmedabad (IIMA, ranked 11th in FT Global MBA Rankings 2012). Now please dont laugh.. i know many Indians think IIMA is the last frontier. But I need to explore further..

I have 4 yrs work experience - 1.5 years in designing structures for Oil & Gas Industry and 2.5 years in corporate finance division of one of India's leading private sector banks. Have above average grades, got scholarship in engineering, ranked 3rd, then ranked in top 50 at IIM Ahmedabad..

I am currenntly focussing on specialised Finance course like Msc Finance etc, at LBS, Warwick, Imperial, HEC etc. Dont want to do another MBA and spend too much.. want to settle in Europe

Any sugesstions are welcome..please help me out

Regards

Given that you have excellent credentials and have graduated from a highly rated MBA program, Have you tried applying for Jobs with companies based in Europe? You may be a strong candidate even without any further education as you have acquired a specialized technical education as well as a Management degree..

Hi vomhorizon,
Have been trying to get a decent job for last 1 year now but no luck till now.. Also I would like to experience a different learning environment. And probably chances of getting a better job are higher if I passout from a good ranked school in Europe..

Don't know if second MBA is better or MSc finance etc

If you are looking at a finance intensive career you could do the MSC in finance. Your MBA is highly rated, I do not think that once you interview for a job the Quality of your MBA will ever be in question. Have you thought of a Specialty MM 1 year program (Finance, Marketing, Strategy, Healthcare etc etc )...

Yes I am thinking abt 1 yr Master in Finance kind of courses. Any suggestions are welcome..
