I have been preparing for GMAT. I have been working for 2.5 years now. So, I have two options:

1. Do MIM now
2. An MBA later.

Which choice will benefit my career, in a long term ?

Thanks!

In general, I would say an MBA is preferable if you don't mind waiting and already have a good job. The degree is far more well known, and the prestige is also higher. And if you can go in with a few years experience, and then make your jump, it might be more worth it to you than just continuing to study now.

Hi

Vital question you need to answer is - does your current job contribute towards your career goals. In case you go for MBA 2,3 years down the line; will your work experience be counted as relevant. If yes, you should work for some more time and then go for MBA.
Remember, you have just worked for 6 months and your career choice may change in course of next 2 years (it happened with most of us

). So, take some more time to outline your career goal.

Generally MiM or other masters programs are good for specialized domains like International affairs, Logistics & supply chain, Derivative trading etc.

But since your long term goals is Sales & Mktg in FMCG, we would recommend getting into a entry level sales or mktg job which gives you real good exposure and makes the candidature strong, working for 2-3 years, cracking a 720+ on GMAT and then applying to top MBA programs.

MBA from a top school can really help you break into a good marketing job with retail chains such as Wamlart, tesco etc.

"Target Test Prep is the closest to the official version of the GMAT exam, about 99% accuracy in terms of the quality and quantity of information. The course has excellently created singular sets of focused lessons and tests for every possible topic that one could come across in the official GMAT exam."

"The TTP course maximizes the efficiency of the time you spend studying. It will take time and effort but I could almost guarantee that if you complete the course exactly as it is laid out you will get an amazing score. They also have a very responsive team willing to help with any questions you might have."

"TTP has two things that I think no other test prep company offers: A teaching approach that reinforces understanding and an attitude that will give you the mental preparedness needed to succeed on the test. TTP gives you a deep understanding of the concept you need to know while teaching you how to think."
