I have a specific question related to the career path that would help my MBA application better .

I'm from an Engineering background and I'm a fresher who's going to start working at this Investment banking firm . I've been assigned an IT role at this firm , I have to choose between these two choices , which would be better ?

1.Test Engineer - My job would involve

(a)getting the requirements from the end user
(b)ensuring that the coding team implements the requirements in a way that the user expects
(c)Testing the final product and ensuring that the final product delivered to the end user conforms to all his requirements.


2.SOftware Engineer - here my job would involve

(a)Writing and designing the code for a specific feature that the end user wants

(b) Fixing the bugs that a test engineer would raise

Which of these options would be better ? Again I'm not asking what's the "ideal job "to be in at the pre-mba stage . Also I'm not asking for a profile evaluation . Instead I'm asking which of the above alternatives is viewed better from an Ad-com perspective ?

Thanks
Paul

Hi Paul,

In this situation, I recommend you pursue the position you are more interested in. The reason is because admissions teams will not only be looking at your entry-level position, but also at your progress. Were your promoted, did you lead other individuals, how were your recommendations - these will all be considered by an MBA program. For the above reason, I recommend you take more into consideration your interest in the position, as opposed to the viewpoint of an admissions committee.

Best,

Conrad and the Stacy Blackman Team
