Is getting H1B after graduating is it tough for fields like Finance than tech(say product management) ?


Not necessarily; it really depends on the economy and how much demand there is for new hires in the sector you're going for. Also the U.S. is (hopefully!) in the midst of passing some immigration reform so the visa thing might be simpler all around in coming days.

A bigger question is, can you easily transition to finance given your existing background? Some might say yes, others might hesitate. You'll need to convince the adcom that you'll be able to pull off such a big jump in your career before most of them will green-light you to try.

Also, re: testing: We've heard others say that the GRE is harder on the verbal side. Might not make sense to switch over for you. Ask around and confirm the strategy; the GMAT is typically a better test to take for the MBA.

Re: Profile Evaluation required just took GMAT [#permalink]
Thank you for clearing my doubts regarding Visa and career changes. The problem I thought in retaking GMAT is I took gmat 2 years ago in college for a MSc program, but got only 640.So after that took it again last week. Got 660 (Not much change, but quant increased and verbal decreased from that time) . I am sure I can hit 720 in next time if I study verbal well. But it will be my third time, Is that fine? I thought taking it more than twice gives a bad impression.

For most schools, taking the test three times is not a problem, especially since there's so much time between test #1 and test #2. Obviously you'll want to do a good job with this next one and make it your last!! :-D Submitting with a history of three tests over two years is not going to hurt you, especially if your final test is a great score.

That's great. You're likely to pull out an awesome score - you're more than halfway there with the impressive quant. Good luck and let us know if we can help!
