Hi,
I am planning to give GMAT in Feb 2015 and look for a 1 year international MBA. Here are the details:
My profile:
99.8 Percentile in CAT 2006
GPA 3/4 MBA
GPA 8.7/10 B Tech
MBA from Top 5 Indian B school, Majored in Sales and Marketing
At B school, won national level competitions
B Tech from top tier engineering college
20+ Prizes in Inter college and Inter school debating, Quizzing throughout College and School
Cracked a top consult from campus in 2009 - recession year
Hobbies:
Badminton,
Cycling (Did 100km road trip last month),
Trekking / Mountaineering - scaled Everest Base Camp this year. Graduate from Himalayan Mountaineering Institute
Work Ex:
2 years business transformation consulting for a Telecom Client (Pre MBA)
2 years strategy advisory for a global research firm
3.5 years with an IT company (1 year product sales, 2.5+ years corporate strategy)
Married. Wife works with an NGO and teaches children from slums. I help out over the weekends.
Reason for 2nd MBA:
Primary: I have made some bad career moves in my career, which have been further hampered by sheer bad luck. I am trying for a job change for last six months, but my current profile - internal strategy in a smallish global IT firm has restricted my options here. I will need a fresh start.
Secondary: I want to work abroad for a few years. Again my current profile there is a slim chance i will get the opportunity.
Third: I love studying and don't mind an academic career later.
My Plan:
I am not even targeting top b-schools, I am thinking more mid-rung b-schools with good job prospects. I haven't started my research yet but i want to go for a one year plan. I want to work in consulting space. I am not fixated on US and Uk and am open to other campuses.
Need Advice:
I am thinking if second MBA is the answer. Can i be honest and share my motive with the admission teams? What are some other courses that i could consider?
