Hi
I did my Graduation in Bachelors in Engineering(Computer Science and Engineering) in 1998.
Over 11 plus years of experience spanning across domains like investment banking, retail banking and Medical devices. Throughout technical experience into development and managing a team not more than 11 people.
I am a bit skeptical about is it worth taking the GMAT test and pursuing MBA from good school at this point of time.
If yes, then what stream would be more suitable than the HR?
I know merely good score would not suffice. There are few gaps in my career graph, which is bound to pull the weight of the SOP(Statement of purpose) down.
Need clarity on how do I fit the bill for a good B-school grad.
Could anyone shed some light on this..
Thanks

Welcome to GMAT Club!
Thanks for posting your question. At this stage with this much experience, you probably fit better for the EMBA or another type of an executive MBA. Most US Schools tend to recruit mostly applicants under 30 and it is very rare to be able to get in after 33 and impossible at 35. Most schools would recommend contacting their EMBA department instead.
EMBA is easier to get in but it usually costs more and tends to be Evening or Weekend based. There are some great programs.
I don't know how to answer your question about HR or Stream. Most people go to bschool to advance their career and get into more interesting and competitive industries such as consulting, brand management, or financial services.
At this stage, it may make the most sense for you to build your career in IT and leverage your experience and network in that field. It seems MBA plays less of a role in IT as you can get a very good salary as a programmer/IT Lead/etc
Good Luck!
