Hi
I got admits from Cornell for their 1 year MBA program and from ISB India.
I am from India with a US citizenship and close to 12 years of work experience in the technology domain. I felt I needed a shift from engineering to product management and wanted to do an MBA in the process.
At this age (nearing 35) the concern is getting placed after the MBA. On talking to alumni ISB does not seem to have a problem in that space though the class is a young one with avg age of around 27 and given the cost of the program it seems to be doing a good job on that front.
I have never worked in India and this though a worry is also an exciting factor. The concern is if I dont like the work culture how popular is the program in the US to help me move back.
Cornell has the same problem if I want to move to India. Infact people have advised me against Cornell if that is the primary goal. Plus Cornell is not a top 10 school though it has the Ivy league tag. While in India/Asia ISB has a very good reputation.
Any inputs on this regard.
Thanks
Karthik
