Hi GMAT Club
It’s been a while I’ve been here. I used this community expensively during my Pre-B school days and want to give back.
I graduated from ISB close to 4 years back and have a total of 11 years of work experience across industries and roles.
GMAT: 720
ISB majors: Marketing
Job profile: Product Manager
Please feel free to pop any questions (GMAT, ISB, Life at B school, Life post B school, career counselling) over to me and I’ll be happy to help you out

Thanks for this post. It's good to see ISB alumni helping out in such ways.
I will be starting the PGP program this April and have heard a lot about how hectic it's going to be and at the same time how fun it's going to be. Couldn't hurt to have one more opinion - do you mind sharing your personal experience at the school?
What I would be more interested in knowing though is that 4 years down the line, do you look back and have any sort of regrets choosing ISB over alternatives? Are you satisfied as to where you landed immediately after the program and where you are at now? What sort of career progression do you foresee for yourself going forward?

First of all congratulations for making it. All your hard work has paid off but this is just the beginning.
By the nature of the PGP course, it is meant to be hectic. It crams 2 years worth in one. How this compares to 2 year MBAs is that it typically has shorter semester breaks, faster turnarounds on assignments and assessment. What you should expect is being overwhelmed, I will not mince my words here. But that’s a good thing. You will be exposed to plenty things and you’ll have to start making priority calls from day 1
Post ISB: the general trend is that people pick employers based on what they see fit for themselves during the course (based on the multiple industry talks and exposure from deep seeded alumnus) however 3-5 years down the line people test out the market and land themselves where their calling really is.
All in all - looking back, There is not an ounce of regret. You’re making the right choice. Wish you the best.
