I have been working with Fortune 500 company ( State Bank of India) for the past 10 years in both credit and operational areas. I am looking to shift to investment banking or private equity and I believe that an MBA would help me achieve my goals.
Priyanka here from ARINGO. Speaking about your profile, with 10 years at a Fortune 500 giant like SBI across credit + operations, you bring the kind of depth and stability that programs like SDA Bocconi and ESADE really appreciate, especially for finance-focused pivots. Your GPA is strong, and your long tenure gives you meaningful real-world exposure to lending cycles, risk, and portfolio decision-making, great raw material for IB/PE storytelling.
The main thing you will need to show is why now after a decade, and how your experience translates to the fast-paced deal environment of banking. Strengthen your application with clear deal-oriented reasoning, any quant upskilling, and evidence of leadership/ownership in your SBI roles. Overall, you’re definitely competitive, and with a sharp narrative your IB/PE pivot is realistic at your target schools.
I’d be happy to offer you a free profile review for your target programs to see where you stand and how to boost your chances, happy to help!
No pressure, no strings - just helpful insights on where you stand and how you can strengthen your chances.
