Hey AdmitPitch
My role in Infosys started as Software Developer.
Was awarded as best performer for my first project for stream lining multiple tasks that was left incomplete from previous team members.
Was awarded Star Performer, A unit wide award to design a system which would be used as a platform for multiple projects. In two months we came up with a convincing implementation to the higher management.
Currently working in BNY Mellon as a senior software developer, work is techno-functional.
Exposure to technology like Big DATA and cloud and its implementation.
This inspired me towards my MBA .

Post career goals is to work as an consultant where I can leverage my domain and technical knowledge.
Research business aspects for different business needs.

Hi Arker:

Its good to see individual achievements at work, this definetly adds to the overall profile. Also the diverse areas, work on latest technologies and exposure you have gained will add to the unique element in the application. I think shortlisting the right programs based on the career paths is the next important step for you.

Hi there,

Thanks for posting! Let's see what we've got here!

You've got decent academics and, for the schools you're looking to target, they're good enough. You had a difficult engineering degree, went to a Tier III school, and have a GMAT score that's below most of your peerset. But you're aware of it and you've shortlisted appropriately so hats off to you for that. Professionally, you have a blue chip company on your resume and you have relatively outperformed your peers. That's important! Involvement wise, you don't seem to have much. Even in undergrad. That's definitely a bit of a yellow flag! Lastly, your goals are realistic, if not overly ambitious. So if you're going that route, make sure they're super well researched to make sure you don't come across as cursory!

Overall, some of the schools you've listed are more aligned than others. Duke and NUS are going to be real stretches!

I hope this helps and let me know if you have any other questions!
