Please review my profile and help me decide whether it is fit for a second MBA in the schools I'm targetting. Targetted schools are only the top 20 in the US / INSEAD / top 10-15 European schools.
Age : 29 years
Work Exp: Would be ~4.5 years at the time of joining
Have been working in the asset management domain as a credit research associate in (arguably) the best US Investment Bank (offshore unit in India) for the past 3 years.
Educational Background:
B.Tech: from a very average institute institute in Electronics & instrumentation (average acads)
PGDM: MBA equivalent from a top 10 Indian B School in Finance & strategy (average acads).
Expected GMAT Score: I'm appearing for the GMAT in July but have been scoring 700+ in practice tests
Reason for 2nd MBA: Very happy with great reviews in my current job (which is very sought after in India). However, offers limited scope for career growth in the current role and I think an international degree,experience and network is essential for being effective and successful in the field I am in. Also, I have entrepreneureal aspirations in the Fintech space so an international degree and network base would be extremely important.
