Hey folks!
Just had a query, seeking your guidance...
I'm a prospective student for the Sept'22 intake. By then I would've completed 4 years of WE. I was wondering how are career opportunities after MBA for students with less WE? Even if I manage to get into a school, it wouldn't make sense to spend 40-50L from loan if I'm not going to get a job of that tune. Please advise.
Also, would there be a difference in European schools and American schools in this regard?

Hi. Average work experience at most US business schools is 4-5 years of work experience at the time of Matriculation (meaning by Sept 22).
You can see average international WE here: https://gmatclub.com/forum/all-school-s ... l#p1319278 It looks like 5-7 years on average, so pretty close.

Usually it is not about Quantity per se but brands (quality) and career trajectory. If you were able to achieve great things in 3-4 years, then why wait another 1-2 years? At the same time, if you could not do anything in 3-4 years, then would another 1-2 years really make a difference?

If you’re thinking about careers outside the usual finance or consulting stuff, you should check out healthcare. I was looking into it recently, and it’s crazy how many options there are.
