Did B.Tech. in Computer Science and Engineering from Tier 2 university in India. Right after my undergrad, joined a top tech company (currently 2nd in world by market cap) in Digital consulting space and then internally moved up into Software Engineering.


I want to grow my career in technology itself, but more on business and customer facing roles. That's why after my undergrad I want to work as a Product manager.

Hi. Great profile! Awesome to have strong brands on your resume and sticking with the job.
Just a quick question - you marked your post MBA goal as Consulting? It should be Tech PM type of thing?

Good luck with the results from Kellogg and Tepper! I would also recommend Foster for R2 for Tech PM. It is in Seattle, so you will walk into a job sooner or later ;-)

Thanks bb for the quick reply. Big fan of yours btw :) . To your question, I must have selected "Consulting" by mistake. Corrected it now. Can you also share any insights on the other schools that I am planning to apply with respect to my profile and goal. Texas mccombs and Duke Fuqua?

Thank you. Happy to help with your way I can.

McCombs and Fuqua were quite good for tech before the bottom fell out from the tech last year 😬

You’ll see big declines and tech recruiting across many business schools but before this calamity, those were pretty good choices for tech. Ross as well potentially….

Hi! Given your profile I would consider Tepper and Foster to be best options for you in the safe category. However, since you are so clear about your post mba PM goals, I suggest you also check out some other one year programs that can get you into PM roles in big tech will lower opportunity cost. Tepper’s MSPM program is one but there are several others. Do note that the job market is not at its best and therefore targeted programs with strong tech pipelines can be better options than doing a FT MBA from just any college.
It’s honestly very hard to comment on the odds for Duke, as it depends on how you strategise and present your story coming from an over represented pool. Same for the other aspirational schools. There will be plenty of profiles with better gmat scores and similar professional experience, therefore you must meticulously strategize how you articulate your narrative and showcase your experiences.

Best wishes
