Reasons for MBA –
At my current career stage, and the path I've chosen, a management degree (read MBA) makes a lot of sense for further growth and career development, and learning - given that I come from a technical background. An MBA would add on to my current experience and better equip me to take on good positions in Finance/strategy/consulting/management.
During my work, I was a part of one of the big4 accounting firms PwC where I used to deal with applications based on auditing, tax, and finance. And I did the risk analysis of the project before the company moved forward with it.
So, this work experience and engineering background not only developed my technical skills but also my analytical ability. I have that quality in me to quickly grasp complex tasks and problems in the finance sector.
Post-MBA goals:
Career transition into a banking or financial analytics role.
