- Even though I am based in India, I work with business partners of different nationality - US, Canada, and Turkey so far.

3) College info:
- I have completed Engineering from National Institute of Technology Karnataka, Surathkal(NITK) majoring in Electronics and Communication

Secured rank 24 among 35,000+ candidates in a State level undergrad entrance exam(local equivalent for SAT)
4) Significant college and post-college extra-curricular activities or community service, especially leadership experience.

Alex,
Thanks for the quick reply. My post MBA goal is
Plan A - Get into a rotational leadership program
Plan B - Mgmt Consulting
Plan C - Equity Research/IB
I am currently doing CFA(level 2 candidate), and would like to concentrate on strategy and marketing at B-School so that I have a decent hold on the key business areas by the time I graduate. Makes sense?
