With over nine years of experience in the tech industry, primarily as a Project Manager and Scrum Lead, I have gained extensive experience in team leadership, project execution, and cross-functional collaboration. My work on projects allowed me to hone my skills in strategic planning and stakeholder management, which I see as essential foundations for my future career.

In the short term, I aim to transition into a Product Manager role at a leading tech firm. My goal is to leverage the strategic and analytical skills gained through an MBA to drive product innovation and oversee product life-cycle management. This aligns well with my background in project management and my deep interest in shaping digital solutions that create a meaningful impact.
In the long term, I aspire to move into a Director or VP role, where I can lead product strategy on a global scale. Ultimately, my goal is to become a decision-maker who influences company direction and drives innovation at the organizational level. I see the MBA as a stepping stone, equipping me with advanced business acumen and leadership skills essential for this level of impact.
I believe this is the ideal time to pursue an MBA, as I’m at a pivotal point in my career where advanced business knowledge and strategic skills are essential for my growth. The MBA offers a robust curriculum in product strategy and innovation, alongside a global network, which aligns perfectly with my career trajectory.

Note: I am planning for 1 year MBA.

Hi, That looks like your career goals essay :)
Sounds good and logical. Hopefully, you will hear back from the other b-schools as well. Are you planning any round 2 applications?

I will be applying to Imperial in R2 after my GMAT exam as my GMAT Waiver got rejected. Do you have any other suggestion for 1 year MBA ?

Hi Varsha! I got an admit from Cornell and Marshall for 1 year programs too. Looks like we are in a similar boat. Can we connect?
