2 years in consulting + 2 years in CSO office of Fortune 500 Fintech company. Recommenders - CSO of my company (supervisor, interviewed me, HBS alumnus who was my strategy professor)

Background

I have attended 13+ schools growing up due to my father being an officer in the Indian Army, which allowed me to travel extensively across India. I graduated from a Tier-2 engineering college with a high GPA and received numerous merit scholarships for academic excellence. I held leadership positions during college and won several oratory competitions.

Work Experience
I have been with Deloitte USI for over three years. I am part of the Advisory vertical, which provides consulting services across industries, focusing on strategy, risk, and business solutions. Within this short span, I have received one promotion and won awards for my performance in client-facing projects. My role involves regular interaction with US-based clients, giving me valuable international exposure. While I haven’t held an official leadership position, I have mentored freshers and led projects in the absence of a formal lead.

Post-MBA Goals
My goal is to continue in the consulting industry at top firms such as MBB (McKinsey, BCG, and Bain), which offer short-term projects across diverse sectors—unlike Big 4 and boutique consulting firms. I also aim to focus on management consulting full-time, which is not currently possible in my role.

An MBA will enable me to pivot to management consulting, explore fresh perspectives outside the Big 4 ecosystem, and gain multisectoral insights. This experience will prepare me to transition into top impact consulting firms like Dalberg. My long-term aspiration is to hold a top-level position in an impact consulting firm, where I can contribute to initiatives with direct and meaningful impact.

For this journey, I am primarily targeting US-based MBA programs due to their average work experience profile and the better opportunities they offer. I am also considering ISB in India, a Tier-1 school with strong brand value that aligns with my career aspirations. While I haven’t finalized my decision, this outlines my vision for the future.

I’m currently working at PwC, where I focus on data analytics and automation. In my role, I use tools like Power BI, Python, and Alteryx to work on business problems—mainly around inventory management and identifying cost-saving opportunities.

Through this experience, I’ve developed a strong interest in how data can drive better business decisions and improve operational efficiency.

I’m planning to pursue an MBA (targeting the Class of 2027) to strengthen my understanding of business strategy, develop leadership skills, and gain global exposure.

I am a computer engineer, class of 2020. I got into product management as a fresher by upskilling myself. Over the past 5 years in Product management, I have led products in Fintech, E-commerce, Payments and HR-tech. I want to get into strategy, AI Product management, Senior Product manager, Product Consultant roles post my MBA and had applied for Fall'2026, but nothing converted yet. Want to understand what should be the next set of schools with my profile. Also was very confused for Jan intake in colleges like Insead and HEC Paris. Can someone help please?
