Suggestions for career goals from IT background

Dear shaselai,

Your career goals should be what they are--YOUR career goals. What do you want to do with your career? Why do you need an MBA? What do you want to do when you finish business school? Where do you see yourself 10 years post-MBA? There is not a "right answer" or "preferred career path" for MBA admissions. The best answer is the truth on what you want to do and why the MBA makes sense for you. If you are interested in moving into management, then do some research and be more specific on what type of management. You note you want to work in "an IT+Finance company" so that helps as well. I encourage you to do some research to define your goals a bit more, perhaps identify some companies of interest to you. Your interest in your actual goals will be what is interesting to the admissions committee.

Good luck,
Lisa

If that is your passion and what you truly want to do, then why not? I think we can all agree that gaming companies are making lots of money these days and that industry is not going away. I do think you should be cognizant of where that industry is clustered and look for schools near hubs of the industry. Also, your goals will be more realistic the more you can show the admissions committee you have done your research on who the "players" are in the industry and what you might need to do on your own to land a position with one.

Good luck,
Lisa
