After working in consulting for two years, I seek to augment my skills. Allow me to introduce myself and outline my short-term objectives. I am an adept Systems Administrator and Salesforce professional with extensive experience managing Salesforce applications and customer solutions. My expertise lies in streamlining workflows, optimizing system utilization, and cultivating customer loyalty. I have a proven track record of delivering projects excellently, analyzing business needs, and devising strategies. My background includes marketing analysis and strategy development.


My short-term goals following my MBA (1-3 years) are:

1. Senior Salesforce Consultant/Architect Role: I intend to utilize the MBA curriculum to transition into a more strategic position within the Salesforce ecosystem. I will focus on helping businesses maximize their Salesforce investments through improved strategies and system architectures.

2. Expand Global Outreach: I plan to collaborate with international clients or work groups to broaden global reach and deepen comprehension of diverse markets. This will leverage the international network that I gained through the MBA program.

3. Strategic Implementation: By combining my Salesforce technical skills with business acumen, I aim to assist companies in aligning their Salesforce implementations with overall business strategies.

Hi. I don't particularly recommend west-coast schools for traditional consulting. However, since you are approaching it as Tech consulting, then I think it makes sense, though I would recommend doing some research about it. I love that you have very specific strengths that you are leveraging and you have specific goals - keep it that way - this is really good to be specific. However, I am not sure if traditional consulting companies are hiring people with such specific skills. They like general folks from MBA and then they hire SME's from the industry with 10's of years of experience. So, I would chat with current students from these schools (e.g. Foster, Anderson, etc) and see what they think about your recruiting strategy - are there on campus recruiting opportunities for these things. You can also get connected with some of the tech and consulting clubs and see if they connect you with folks from your field or perhaps just get with someone from your country.

P.S. Great job on the GMAT! Add Tepper to your list and maybe McCombs - Austin has had quite a few tech companies move there, though again, not sure if that translates into Salesforce expertise. I am actually wondering if a Masters may be a better fit than an MBA... they are cheaper and shorter and easier to get into but they tend to be less about leadership and management and more about doing the work.

Thanks for your input. I appreciate your perspective on West Coast schools, traditional consulting vs. tech consulting, and the advice to be specific about my strengths and goals. Your insight into the hiring preferences of traditional consulting firms provides a helpful framework for me to reflect upon. I will explore Tepper and McCombs options about tech company migrations and consider a Master's program over an MBA. Lastly, thank you for the GMAT commendation! Your advice has given me much to ponder, and I'm grateful for your thoughtful insights.
