Dear ThinkThru,

Thanks for your post!

It looks like you have indeed moved around quite a bit, but my sense is that jobs "b", "c" and "d" share some common traits (analytical, etc). It's also possible that job "a" might fit with your path a bit better than you'd expect - particularly if entrepreneurship is in your long-term plans.

Of course, in order to properly advise you, I'd need to better understand the context of each move (and whether or not any of your postions were concurrent), but I wouldn't say that your situation is dire.

As to your general stats, things look fairly sound overall - if not stellar. I do wonder if you might have more precision around your goals - since I'd be curious to know what sort of entrepreneurial plans you have and why you are interested in PE, etc.

Keep in mind that as an Indian male, IIT grad, you are going to face fairly stiff competition. This is where the clarity of your application strategy and quality of your essays can pay dividends.

Best of luck,

Graham
