Hey guys,
I am an Indian and have BTech and MBA degrees from IIT & IIM (topmost colleges in India). Currently have 2 years of work exp as a Product manager in a good startup. But I feel that life & opporuntites will be much better in the US and EU regions. Since its somewhat difficult to find jobs in these countries without having visas and connections, I am considering 2nd MBA, which will help me a lot.
I wanted to know the following -
1) Does it make sense? Financially & career wise
2) How difficult is it to get good colleges? Do they consider people with prior MBA degrees?
3) Ideally how many years of workex should I have before doing it?
4) Do recruiters view it negatively?

There have been plenty of discussions on second MBA - do look them up.
You need a compelling reason for a second MBA, and that too so soon after your first one. Some schools reject a second MBA candidacy outright. You will be best placed to study the class profiles, network with students, and perhaps engage directly with adcoms AFTER you have carefully constructed your compelling argument for a second MBA.

Hi avichala2023,
It's great to see you considering expanding your opportunities with a second MBA. Here's a breakdown of your queries:
1. Financially: A second MBA, especially from top US or European schools, can be a significant investment (think $100K+), so it’s essential to evaluate the ROI based on your long-term career goals. However, graduates from top programs tend to land high-paying jobs, especially in consulting, finance, and tech. For you, this could open doors to international markets and high-growth roles.
Career-wise: If you're targeting a shift in geography and roles at multinational firms or moving to the US/EU, a second MBA could make sense. It offers access to international networks, visas, and strong placement support. Plus, top schools have established relationships with recruiters in these regions, which could help you break into the market more easily.
2. Getting into top MBA programs is competitive, but with your strong academic background (IIT + IIM) and relevant experience, you stand a good chance. Your prior MBA won’t disqualify you, but you’ll need to clarify why a second MBA is necessary for your goals (e.g., global exposure, changing industries, etc.). Schools appreciate a clear, well-thought-out rationale.
3. Most top-tier MBA programs prefer candidates with 3–5 years of work experience.
4. Not necessarily. If you position your second MBA as a strategic move, recruiters will understand. It’s about how you communicate the need for a second MBA and how it aligns with your career aspirations.Feel free to schedule a free consultation with our MBA experts so we can dive deep into your profile and help you make the right decisions.
