Hi. Please review my profile for ISB.
Age : 27
Gender : Female
Scores :
Class X - 90%
Class XII - 96.25%
Bcom (H) - 82%
GMAT - 710
Qualifications :
Bcom (H) from SRCC
Chartered Accountant
CFA Level 3 candidate
Work Experience : Total 3.5 years post Chartered Accountancy (6.5 years if articleship period is counted as a work-ex)
1 year : Grant Thornton (Audit)
1 year : EY (M&A Tax)
1.5 years : Investment Banking (Infra Sector) (Designation - Analyst)
Co-Curricular : Diverse, mostly surrounding public speaking. But no expertise per se.
According to me, the challenges with my profile are -
1. Changing work profiles
2. Low designation at work (will make it difficult for me to highlight my leadership skills)
3. Non-serious / strong co-curriculars
Would really appreciate if someone can evaluate my profile. This would give me good head-start for my applications.
Thanks.

Hi Mehakpreet,
Here's my assessment (which would cover the challenges you highlighted),
Acads (incl GMAT)
Good acads throughout. SRCC is a good brand. CA+CFA is a great combination (do complete L3). The GMAT score complements your profile well.
Work experience
While the work profiles have changed, it is broadly in the financial services space. More importantly, if your goal is to continue within IB (assuming it is core IB and isn't offshore support) or related areas, this shouldn't be a challenge. A number of my classmates had similar profiles (even through IB-support at in-house 'captives') and got through. So, no need to worry there.
The designation (or leading teams) doesn't dictate the extent of leadership traits you can demonstrate. At any rank or level, you can show the ability to take initiative, going beyond the call of duty, ownership, etc. If you've done that, then you're sorted.
Co-curricular
Would be great if you can share more details. However, if they're majorly around public speaking then you can contribute to the school through the Toastmaster's club and the Debate SIG. Hence, no reason to worry.
To summarize, very good profile. Get your goals sorted and apply! Feel free to reach out in case of questions.
Cheers,
Manan
