Dhruv120292, a few thoughts on your profile evaluation:
Hope this helps some. Do reach out if you want to engage further.
Cheers,
- You have mentioned anything about your academic background. Engineering grad? Finance? College pedigree? Those are pretty important part of your profile so do share. The GMAT looks to be in reasonable ballpark - though one can easily add 20-30 points to a given school's average to get a sense of the Indian GMAT average.
- The work profile looks decent overall. Was the PM role in the asset mgmt space or something else? Will be good to understand what exactly you do in the backoffice as that sounds a bit vague currently. If that career growth is faster than average, make sure you articulate it that way.
- For INSEAD, international experience matters. Have you had any? At just over 5 years, not sure if Kellogg 1 year is a good strategy. In US, would be better to target the regular 2 year programs ideally.
- The ECs arc looks good. Make sure to articulate the impact you've delivered on the NGO front too.
Hope this helps some. Do reach out if you want to engage further.
Cheers,
