I prefer management over development. Should I do an MBA now or get more work experience?

Hi hrishubh2002,

It would be the Classic GMAT.

If you are targetting ISB, you should look at retaking the GMAT.

All the best!

Can anyone review my profile for ISB? Any other suggestions or comments are also welcome.

PROFILE:

Bachelor of Technology (B.Tech), Computer Science Engineering
IIIT Vadodara, 2024
CGPA: 8.48 / 10 (84.8%) – Top 10 in Batch

Class 12 - CBSE
Scored 92.4% - Top 5 in Class

Class 10 – CBSE
Scored 90.4% – Top 5 in Class

Professional Experience: NONE (Took a drop year to prepare for CAT but was not able to get to a top institute, waitlisted in XLRI but I don't expect it to convert)

I just joined a startup as a Software Development Engineer this month. I am currently working on an application to assist elderly people in using their mobile devices by connecting them digitally and remotely to a third person (their children or family).

Working with the backend team to develop the whole application infrastructure from scratch using Firebase and Flutter.

GMAT: 650 on my first attempt. I did not prepare for the exam at all and just gave it based on my CAT preparations.

Question: Is the 716 average class score based on FE score or the original GMAT score?
