Hello!

Please provide inputs on my profile below-

Background:
25, Male, Indian

Education:
B.E (2018) - 66%
Major: Computer Science and Engineering

Work Exp:
1 year (2018-19) in Harman International as an Associate Engineer: working on big data tech like hive, hadoop, etc in addition to PL SQL, in a technical role.

3.5 (2019-present) years in EY India as part of the Business Consulting practice: joined as an Analyst and have been consistently promoted over 3 years to Senior Consultant (2 skip level promotions in 2 cycles). I've worked across domains such as regulatory compliance, contracts and commercials, project management, operations and auditing. I've worked with diverse clients, spanning FMCG, Pharma, Telecom and IT services. These clients have been global, so I have consistently interacted with stakeholders from varied backgrounds and geographies. Unfortunately, due to the pandemic I was not allowed the opportunity to travel. I've driven multiple engagements and clients at a given time as an SME. Some engagements were:

ITGCs - IT audits and Controls assessments
CSV - Regulatory compliance validations as per FDA regulations
Business Analyst - for SAP and non-SAP applications implementations
Transition manager - driving outsourcing operations for a client to multiple third party vendors. Subsequently, helped set up Business process excellence framework post transition.
Project Management -

Certifications:

ITIL Foundation
Certified Scrum Master
EY Analytics badge - data visualization

Expected GMAT: 690-710

Extracurricular:
CMCA member during my schooling
Part of the university's football team during my BE, as well as at EY
CSR at EY
Competitive Gamer

Goals:
Short term : Move from Business Consulting to Transaction Advisory (Mergers/Acquisitions and Strategy) in Consulting
Long term : Leadership role in strategy

Happy to hear any suggestions or inputs to improve my profile further.

Hi Abhisg,
I can see you have a fairly good amount of work experience, almost 4.5 years. But as I can see that your GMAT Score is at that good. So I recommend you reattempt and try to get more than 740+ to gain admission to your dream universities. Your certification courses are just like icing on the cake that is already very delicious.

You also have extracurricular activities, a plus point in your application that will help you in your admission process.

Accounting firms' transaction advisory services (TAS) groups assist organisations in evaluating and navigating corporate transactions with services such as business modelling, mergers and acquisitions (M&A), and valuations. A transaction advisory career is similar to investment banking in that it requires long hours, a lot of stress, and extreme attention to detail. Because most accounting firms have smaller TAS groups than the rest of their divisions, competition for positions is fierce.
If you want to know which school is a better fit for you or get a detailed analysis of your profile, get in touch with our study abroad experts.


We have helped over 5000 students get admit into their dream schools.

Hi saumya1901

The super-rich work experience especially the leadership positions held and working with the government will be highly valued by ISB and also the recruiters. Your Academic % and the above-average class GMAT score along with your excellent Extracurriculars will help you make a strong application if essays are written well. Do not wait till the last day of the R2 deadline and plan to submit your application in the next one month. The Post MBA plans are good and certainly achievable with your overall academic background and work experience.

Wishing you all the best.

Dear manipalguy,

At an initial glance, you seem to fall in the highly competitive Indian Male IT pool of applicants. This is the same impression an admission committee member will also have. Assuming this is true, you will have to work backwards and craft your application in a manner that you counter this presumption and, in the process, differentiate yourself. Objectively, this is how I will rate you:

GMAT: Average

Education: Above Average; minor in AI systems can be an advantage for you if you can spin your story well and draw a correlation between your academic learning and practical work experience.

Work Experience: Experience with a blue-chip company works in your favor. However, you will have to demonstrate the impact you have been able to create at work basis the programming assignments you have undertaken. While you might be tempted to showcase your technical prowess, try to consciously not highlight that skill and rather talk about business impact, working in a team, challenges and learning from leading teams, product innovation etc.

Extra-Curricular: It will be good to know the impact you created in your 02-year stint with an NGO and kind of activities you are engaged in as part of CSR initiative.

I am an ISB alum, CO15, and have been guiding applicants in their admission journeys for the last 6 years. Feel free to get in touch with me if you seek professional guidance on your application.

Cheers and best of luck!

Hello killersword

Past scores and GMAT is decent. Work ex also shows good potential for story telling. Career goals look realistic and organic.
Extracurricular seem dated and may not add value unless you can show a recent connect or how these are relevant now.
No evident weakness in your profile, as long as you put in a decent application, you have ea good shot at receiving an interview invite.

Hello saumya1901

Work ex and extracurricular both stand out and make you a unique/diverse candidate. Past scores and GMAT are competitive too.
What will be the decision maker are career goals- why leave the current career trajectory and what do you wish to do post MBA. The current goals mentioned are too disconnected and show no clarity and that is what ISB will look for in your case. The current goals will not cut it for sure.

You may want to read here on what factors work in a profile and here to add to your research on career goals.

Hello manipalguy

Software background and 710 (avg score) make it tough to stand out unless you have any other spike in your profile. Extracurricular activities look outdated and may not add much value. Career goal is organic and realistic, but you will have immense competition from a majority of applicants with the same goal. Could you highlight any stand out strength in any of these areas- 1) Academics 2) Work ex 3) Diversity or 4) Career Goals

Hello Piyush700

Very interesting work profile and extracurriculars. ISB will see you as a candidate who brings in good diversity inside and outside the classroom (you will of course have to convey this well in the essays). GMAT and past scores are competitive too.
However, the biggest question (and the key decision maker) in your specific case is what are your post MBA goals? Why leave the current career trajectory and what is the short-term/long-term vision of your career and why does it need an MBA?
Without Clear and Realistic answers to these questions, it will be tough.

Hi saumya1901 hope this finds you well

Very impressed by your credentials. Congratulations! You would be an excellent fit for any top global MBA in India and abroad. You may want to be more specific about your goals to weave a robust personal narrative that shows motivation for a particular field/industry Etc. Do note that your career progression is an essential aspect that B Schools will evaluate you on, so make sure you do an excellent job at demonstrating it. Despite long career breaks, my mentees have recently secured admits from ISB, IIM A, and European schools. I suggest you follow a tactical approach to addressing this area since a lot would depend on understanding the school you are applying to.

Feel free to reach out should you need professional guidance.

Best wishes

Hi manipalguy hope this finds you well

I would agree with the previous comment. Of all the things you can do at present to immediately enhance your profile and increase your chances of securing an admit (and not just getting an interview), the easiest one probably is improving your GMAT score. It can be a strong differentiator, given your competitive demographic, so you should work toward improving that. Once a solid GMAT score is in place, your narrative on creating impact, your career progression story, and your scholarships and NGO work will be looked upon very favorably by the adcom. It would be best if you also had a solid goals strategy that shows your profound deliberation beyond simply gunning for any tech/strategy roles.

Best wishes

Hi killersword hope this finds you well

You have an interesting profile and good academic pedigree. Your sustainability consulting stint may have good potential for storytelling, given that you have an undergrad in Civil engineering; I would consider it a logical and well-ideated step. Your second job is in a completely different industry, but it shows progression in the direction you hope to head toward, which is tech and product. You are in line with your goals. However, you may want to be more specific about your long term goal- strategy or product, what kind of tech company, what industry, solving what problem?

If you highlight the volunteering drives you organized for the sustainability stint, you should be set for your ECs.

Best wishes

Work Experience:
I recently started working for Cognizant, India as an Analyst.

So even if I don't get admitted now, is there a chance for me to get an admission after 2 or 3 years?

Given your outstanding GRE score and well-presented extracurriculars, you can offer a good application for EEO. As an analyst at Cognizant, you have the potential to learn a lot on the job, and I have no doubt that you will take advantage of these possibilities to your advantage. You should apply without a doubt, and if you do, ISB will not treat you differently or penalise you for doing so.

I hope the best for you.
