Hello,
I am 26 years old Indian female. I have approximately 4.5 years of experience into Human Resources....have worked as HR manager in my last job. However I am just exploring other areas to basically see where my interest lies. For this reason I want to try IT now to see how things work on that front....I plan to do a software testing course and get into testing.....
I am planning to take my gmat soon and will apply to Bschools in next 2-3 years...by then I will be 29 and with around 3-4 years of experience into testing (alongwith 4.5 years into HR)
I am really worried as to how will adcom look at this move of mine....will it work against me that I chose to change career field after 4.5 years of working in one particular area? or if justified properly, can it work in my favour....
If it is going to work completely against me then I can drop this idea and can continue in HR but I really wanted to explore software testing but not at the cost of ruining my potential mba applications....
Please feel free to let me know in case you need any further information to provide your expert advise. Really looking forward to hear from the experts. Many thanks.
Kind regards

but still, if your goal is in IT, a technical degree might even be better for you, A Masters in computer science, or specific types of math, or other subjects can be even more useful than an MBA in certain cases. What are your goals?
