Hi,
My Background:
Indian Male, age 36.
Engineer from a regional Engineering College
PG in telecom management
Experience :
All 11 years in sales as Account Manager / Sales Manager in leading MNCs (Microsoft, Oracle etc.)
Have a successful career so far.Fast track growth in company. One of the youngest Regional sales managers, top gun award etc. Managed large accounts, competitive customer base, increased market share etc.
GMAT : 710 (Q 49 , V 39)
Extra carricular :
Nothing great. Usual stuff like quizzing, dramatics, leading college committees, work with NGO etc.
Acads : 78% in engineering. In top 10% of class in Post graduation.
International Exposure :
Been to 9 countries but never studied or worked there. All of them were short visits (sales planning, account meets, leisure etc). Worked with colleages from other countries.
Target Schools :
LBS, INSEAD.
Why MBA :
a) Move out of Sales b) Get into general management or strategy c) work outside India. If possible move out of IT companies.I know this is not comprehensive and not at all compelling.I am keen to get into finance, but with 11 years experience in sales, that too in IT companies, Finance will be a long shot.
I definitely do not want to do an Exec MBA, because I know an Exec MBA can never be compared with a full time MBA.
Please let me know my chances in getting into my target schools.
regards,
Eki
