Hi,
I am looking forward to do my second MBA from one of the top schools in US. I had done my post graduate diploma in industrial management (MBA equivalent) from the top 10 colleges in India(NITIE ).My study focus was Supply chain operations and finance. But I got interested in finance and went on to join as a Private banker (as that was the only tile available to me in the bad financial times). Later when markets opened I moved to Investment banking and currently working in an offshore team from India supporting Europe at Nomura. I wanted to know whether I should continue here for another year (will have 3 years work ex then) and apply to schools or should I look to move to a better place and spend a year before applying.
I have two options: 1. Join another offshore investment banking team in a bigger bank likes of JPM, GS, DB (top 3) - this shall be a bigger brand but the learning may not be very much 2. Join Indian boutique in the front end with client facing role- the work would be good but the company may not be well known.
Regards,
Asit Kumar Sahoo

Dear Asit Kumar Sahoo,
You are asking a tough question that I'm not sure I can answer in the way you would like. First of all, I don't really know your profile deeply, second I don't know the jobs in the detail that you do, and third I can't prophesies what might happen in these jobs.
Buuuuuut let me share with you a different perspective. I think that when you choose your job, you should not be thinking too much about the MBA, but rather the job itself and the opportunities and salary it offers. the MBA will follow suite. What I mean is that from the perspective of an MBA ANY job can be good. What they do want to see is SUCCESS and ADVANCEMENT and LEADERSHIP and RESPONSIBILITY. And very often you will find that you can draw this out from either of your job options. So rather than think about your MBA as your goal, think about your long-term career goals, your life-goals, and think which job would be more satisfying (and better paid, this too is important).
Noe I won't lie to you. There is a certain distinct advantage to big name banks - buuut if you do more interesting stuff, or have more opportunities or leadership in a small operation, these are advantages that might outweigh the advantage of the name.
Hope this helps,
JF
