Hi
I have studied a few of your profile evaluations and am glad to have come across such in depth suggestions
If you get the time, I would love to get some advice for my profile as well
Planning to apply for incoming batch: 2024
Age: 23 Years
GRE: 331 (Q170 V161 AWA4) (Oct 2019)
Educational Qualification
1) Graduation: BTech in Computer Science Graduate, IIT Delhi
8.75/10 GPA
Extra info – All India Rank under 100, in Joint Entrance Exam (the exam to get admitted to IITs and other engineering colleges) (among 1.3 million candidates)
Work Experience
2 years as a Software Developer in a top High Frequency Trading firm in India, it is a highly selective and the top paying job right out of college in India
Primary developer of a couple of major features quickly adopted throughout the firm
Internships
3 months research intern in National University of Singapore in Human Computer Interaction
2 months management consulting internship in Strategy& (part of PwC) (but nothing impactful to talk about here)
Extra Curriculars
After College:
• Kaunteya: Director (part time) : Handling pricing, procurement and website for a luxury D2C startup. This startup is founded by my mother and is 2 years old, I have developed the domestic and international pricing of the products and manage, negotiate and communicate with the manufacturers
College Level:
Cultural Secretary of Hostel - Headed team of 15 to conduct 60+ cultural events and awarded best cultural secretary, runner-up position
Organized and Managed Music club events in Rendezvous 2018 (IITD’s college festival)
Events Coordinator in Tryst 2019 (IITD’s technical festival) Led a 3-tier team of 40+ to facilitate 70+ events
Short & Long Term Goals
Right after MBA I would like to go to a PM role in top tech companies like FAANGM, Uber and others.
In the longer term would like to start a tech venture of my own (not sure about what right now)
Target Schools
First preference: HBS, Stanford, Wharton, MIT Sloan
Unsure but would probably go to: Booth, Kellogg, Columbia
Questions:
1) My role is highly technical and fear it would not fit well in my MBA profile, should I change to a more PM kind of role (even though it would mean a salary cut of upto 70% of my current compensation)
2) I don’t have any social impact on my resume, how much does it matter
3) If I switch to a PM role, should I join a startup or a company which does social impact work through tech
4) Another option that I have is join my mother’s startup and can show impact there, but the startup is not related to tech and is in retail/e-commerce sector (selling premium homewares)
5) I currently have a 331 in GRE, should I retake the GRE/ take the GMAT, I believe I could get a 750+ score

Responding to your questions:
1) My role is highly technical and fear it would not fit well in my MBA profile, should I change to a more PM kind of role (even though it would mean a salary cut of upto 70% of my current compensation)
A: When would this change happen? When are you applying? All of these factors matter. I don't think you should change roles simply because you think it'll look better for an application. It is more a question of whether it will help advance your career.
2) I don’t have any social impact on my resume, how much does it matter
A: No, it is not required.
3) If I switch to a PM role, should I join a startup or a company which does social impact work through tech
A: No, it's not necessary. Don't force the issue.
4) Another option that I have is join my mother’s startup and can show impact there, but the startup is not related to tech and is in retail/e-commerce sector (selling premium homewares)
A: Why are considering this then? And again, when are you applying? If you're making that switch now and applying for R1, that will look forced.
5) I currently have a 331 in GRE, should I retake the GRE/ take the GMAT, I believe I could get a 750+ score
A: No, you need to focus on other aspects of your profile. The GRE is fine.

Hi
Thank you so much for your reply.
I would be applying in 2023 R1, and would be changing the roles in the coming months. So would more than an year of experience in the new job before applying, and 2 years before the course starts.
Thank you again for your reply
