Hi Ban (if I may call you so),
Heartiest congrats on making your dreams come true!
First things first, your earlier post (the longish narration of your MBA journey so far ) was highly inspirational for me! Thanks a ton for the post. I'm already on my toes to gear up for my GMAT.
As an IT guy (but certainly not the 'IT type' ) working in India, I have started working towards getting more out of my life and aligning my goals with my personality. But I'm not sure whether I would like to stay in IT industry or I would want to make a switch. Though it may sound silly at a moment when I am preparing for my GMAT, but trust me Ban, this is my greatest dilemma. FYI I have completed 1.5 years in this field.
Can you suggest me how to resolve this conflict within me? Often I find myself swinging between two fields (IT and marketing) and this shifts my focus from GMAT prep, to the 'what-I-wanna-do' predicament . Please advice!!!!

Hello,
I am just starting my journey for the MBA.
I am from the most common category :
IT with 3.5 yrs exp (1.5 yrs in Zurich, switz.) for a well known MNC.
I plan to take the GMAT in 2007 April and for MBA in 2008 batch.

I have an overall First class (GPA around 3.7)
Have got two appreciation awards from my company.

Can you please suggest me what range of schools i should look for (rankings) to start with.
I am interested in management consulting( frankly thats the only field i know a bit , other than finance and marketing).
Thank you very much for your reply.

Am very much inspired by the posts on this group.
You guys are doing a great job

Pats.

Congrajulations man
Very Inspiring Especially to IT pool

congrats baner
i know its very late....i joined the forum today. had a glance through this thread. i should say, its very inspiring.

hey this thing closed down or what...no posts for a long time....had some queries...anybody comes here?

Uhm, yea, a lot of people do...

A very late congrats Banerjee!!! Your post made my day, as we have somewhat similar profiles (30 years old, Engineer with more extracurricular leadership than in work leadership, applying to ultra-elite schools).

Very happy to hear your story, and I love how you talked about focusing on your extracurricular/soft-skills instead of tech.

BTW, what did you write about your career goals? How did you "study" for it as to sound logical and convincing?

Thank you!

This guys is long gone from GMATClub. He was a '06 applicant.

ahh, ok, just thought there may be a chance that he was still lurking around.

congrats and thanks for sharing your plan
