TFI that its a social service and I have to teach student of rural area for 2 years full time(MON-SAT). website https://www.teachforindia.org/opportunities.php .TFI has tie-up with many top university like harvard,stanford,princeton and IIM ,ISB .I get two year experience from this.

i want to ask you that i am from IT field ..may be i get job as software engg. in a big firm AND get 2-3 experience and then give GMAT and apply for MBA.or should i go for TFI and then give gmat and then apply

Hi,

Thanks for your post. When it comes to making a job decision after graduation, I strongly suggest you choose the path that interests you the most as well as the one that might best position you to achieve your post MBA goals. I encourage you to think about your long term interest - are they in IT or another industry? How would either of the two jobs you've mentioned help you prepare for your goals? I do believe that the role at TFI would count as full time experience just as a similar role in the United States at Teach for America does, but you may wish to double check with your schools of interest just to be sure. When it comes down to it, make the decision that makes you happy.

Best,

Stacey
