Sharing my draft CV prepared for MBB.
First GMAT test result is 540, now targeting 750+ and doing well on preparation.
Target schools - Sloan, GSB, Tepper and Tuck. Post-MBA career consideration - consulting, PE or tech.
Main question is my pre-MBA career. Being from Uzbekistan, I fall into an under-represented group. However, I have a question on whether I should stick with my career, where soon I will manage to get very big project will be responsible for project delivery and manage 30+ people, or apply to a MBB firm and then go to MBA. Which option is good for me?
Hey xtraderuz,
Your
profile is strong in terms of your career goals and target schools. It's clear that you have a specific career path in mind and that you're working to improve your GMAT score to increase your chances of getting into your desired MBA programs.
Your
pre-MBA career is also noteworthy, as you mention that you're currently working on a big project and will soon be managing a
team of 30+ people. This is definitely a valuable experience that would be relevant to the consulting, private equity, and tech industries, which you've listed as your post-MBA career considerations. Additionally, being from Uzbekistan and potentially being in an under-represented group, can add diversity to the MBA class and can be a positive factor in the admissions process.
As for your question, both options have their pros and cons. Sticking with your current job, you will have the opportunity to gain more experience and responsibility in your field, which could be beneficial for your MBA application and your post-MBA career. However, you risk missing out on the opportunity to gain exposure to the consulting, PE or tech industry, which you have listed as your post-MBA career considerations.
On the other hand, if you apply for a job at a MBB firm, you will gain exposure to the industry you are targeting, and it will be easier to make the transition into consulting, PE or tech after your MBA.
You must target a
720 plus in the GMAT if you are aiming for schools like MIT Sloan, Tuck, GSB, and Pepper.
