Notes: My work profile has been quite dynamic and I have strolled from working in a steel company to telecom firm to an investment bank and eventually ending up as an entrepreneur. I would love to work now as a consultant for 3-4 years before venturing again in an entrepreneurial stint. The company that I have opened along with a partner would still be functioning and I would still be very much a part of it.
I believe I need a second MBA to hone my business skills, and to be a part of a global school that has an international standing and an effective alumni base.
Top Schools that I am aiming for: #1 London Business School
#2 Judge Business School
#3 Carnegie Mellon
#4 Rice University
Of course my first preference would be UK, but I am open to suggestions.
