Reason for seeking MBA:
I am technology lover and gets very excited with new technology and closely follow their journey, right from the inception. This along with my career in IT software development has led to keen interest in product development and consulting. So with my MBA, I would like to enhance my career in more focused product development and promotion market. Over the period of career, I have written and promoted numerous tools and software for internal customers which have been widely accepted. So I want a program that helps me building sound understanding of technology product development and provide keen insight what goes in to their promotion.
Dream Schools -- Not sure on Safe ones ( suggestion invited ) but have applied to ISB , Hyderabad recently.
University of California, Berkley HAAS --> Would die to be here... This is right in the technology hub where most of the product inception happens.... This is my dream !!!
Tepper Business School : I have researched and found, this school has focused Consulting recruitment and has most of it coming from IT. So this suits my after MBA aim of furthering my career in technology consulting.
I am open to any ideas and suggestions. Do let me know if I need to add more details to make things clearer for better evaluation.
