It is a very informative site for MBA aspirants and after nearly spending a week reading through the post I have gathered a lot about GMAT and stuff , but some queries are yet to be answered. Hope the forum will be generous in answering the queries :
Country National : Indian
Graduation : Bachelors in Engineering (Electronics)
Post Graduation : MBA Finance (From a mid level B school in India)
First Job : TCS (Worked as a Business Analyst in the alogorithmic trading product division for a year)
Second Job : Quant Risk Trader employing quant strategies such as statistical arbitrague , long short crossovers for 2 years (Excelent in VBA Excel and basic MATLAB)
Third Work Profile : Managing my family owned Small Scale Manufacturing Setup (Joined Family business due to personal reasons and am working here for 4 years)
I m also a visiting faculty teaching Financial Management in my alumnus.
Now here is my dilemma
1) I am an Electronics Engineer
2)Done My MBA in Finance
3)Worked as an IT Guy
4)Worked as a Trader
5) Donned the shoes of an Entrepreneur which deals with Mechanical Engineering Industry
For a host of reasons , ranging from difficult small scale business environment in India , to love of finance ... I m finally on the cusp of making a decision to quit my family business and get back into mainstream finance. One of the ways is to give GMAT and hopefully do a Masters again from the top 20 and make myself more employable as my current CV is in a royal mess. Jack of all trades but Master of .......
1) Will such an experience count (I will try my real best to dress them as positives in reccos and essays) and help me get an admit in the top 20 , with requisite gmat scores?
2)By the time I get in , I will be 32. How are 30+ aspirants looked upon by the counselors ?
3)What do you think guys , should I in the first place think of again give Masters a try?
