1) I have heard a lot of times that among GMAT applicants pools, IT guy from India is the worst applicant pool 
I am from India and am working in GBS unit of IBM India Pvt Ltd (work exp. - 2.8 yrs).
Do I fall in the same category i.e. Indian IT applicant - worst
Given as per my understanding, in terms of global repute , my current employer is a bit better than typical indian IT companies such as - TCS, WIPRO etc.. .
2) I am mainly a coder/programmer , and I think this job role does not align with any of the MBA program I prefer to be in.
I am planning to switch to a government sector job, reputed (at-least in India not sure about abroad) and decent one, This new job is expected to align more to my post-mba role than current job role is.
However, I am interested in applying to US B-schools post GMAT.
Shall I continue to be in current job role due to tag(IBM) or shall I switch to some other sectors, which I guess would be more interesting to me than my current role is ?
Will government sector be considered of same repute while applying to B-schools outside India ??

Hi,
I do not agree to the point that "IT guy from India" is the worst applicant pool!!
However the competition is going to be way too higher that any other applicant pool. Only way to fight the situation is to get a high GMAT score and good application essays.
It will all depend on your GMAT score, your career goals, your profile and how you showcase this to the ADCOM.
Once you have a good GMAT score you will have a command over the things. Work towards getting a 740+ score.
Hope this helps: https://goo.gl/LT72yk

Thanks for your response.
But actually this seems to imply that I shall balance/nullify my 'Indian IT pool factor' with a 'great GMAT score' factor
Currently I am perplexed upon changing the tag itself, as I have already mentioned that my current role doesn't align with my post-mba plans. Additionally, I am less than 3 years experienced so I guess I can take around a year+ experience in other sector.
As I am about to take a big step (job switch) , I wonder whether this will bring something positive to my profile or not !!
Thanks for the GMAT score part, hopefully I shall be nailing it soon;)
