After 5 years of sales and partnerships in the computer software industry, I would like to move to strategic consulting roles in the consulting industry. This short-term goal is aligned with my long-term goal of taking up strategic roles in a growing organization in the long term.

Hi hope this finds you well

your profile description lacks depth which makes it difficult to evaluate it for any particular school. All I would say is that if consulting is your focus, INSEAD and IESE would be your best picks. However, whether you meet the average candidate profile for these schools would require more discussion on your previous work experience. IIM A would require strong acads and a very high GMAT score. ISB can be a safe option provided you play your cards right and do not do badly on the interview.

5 years of experience in sales and biz dev in a software enterprise may not elucidate the right kind of impact you had in your company. While I understand that revenue growth is a big part of any company's success metric, a more software development kind or role or a growth strategy kind of role(such as product strategy) would seem more impactful for someone in a computer software company. If you do not pitch your experience in the right manner, you may miss your shot at some of the top-ranking schools in your list.

Feel free to reach out should you need further guidance
