Primary Motivation for MBA:- I'm working as data analyst / Oracle functional consultant. So I have experience in enterprise consulting such as finance and supply chain and also have experience in big data analytics. My primary motivation behind MBA is in my day to day job I come across many business jargon and as we do analysis on business requirements, build models and implement ideas. Having business knowledge helps a lot. Analytics is all about linking company strategy/growth interest to their data and its insights. So without business operation knowledge I am kinda lost in between now. My primary motivation for MBA is to understand the business processes so that I can conceptualize data science projects and link them to company interests and build/manage healthy data science teams. I aim to bring by technical knowledge in analytics and amalgamate it with business knowledge so that I can communicate my findings.
Post MBA goal: I see myself as a Product Manager in Data field(Advanced Analytics by McKinsey, Knowledge Science by Bain, and just Data Analyst/Science by google, amazon, Deloitte, Accenture)
Long term goal:- Founding my own data science company to help businesses of future - data science, AI, self driving cars, Virtual reality, augmented reality.
Schools targeting - Am mainly targeting one year programs as am already good at statistics/analytical tools and their application. Schools are: ISB, IVEY, INSEAD, Oxford Said, Cambridge Judge etc.(primary target ISB and INSEAD).
Reason why I can't GMAT again : - I want to take GMAT again but currently I am working double time. I am working for my company while also developing Financial trading models for my data project. Next I have planned to model a marketing strategy for luxury products. While I understand a higher GMAT score will add more value to my application, I will not be able to complete and showcase my data product models if I again devote time to GMAT.
