Is it OK to say that you want to be a MD of IB?? Or is being too specific for long term seen as negative?

Hi gmat2gmat, its rather difficult to say without the proper context. For instance, if you already work at an IB and have reached a certain level, it may be a good thing to say - in which case you are pursuing an MBA for career enhancement rather than switching.

I don't think saying that you want to be a MD of an IB is too specific. Definitely would not perceive your goal as anything negative. You know exactly where you want to be in a long run, and that's what b-schools are looking for.

Now if you were to say something like "on a sunny afternoon of March 15, 2018 I will become a Managing Director of Goldman, " you would be too specific. :-)
