Query -
- What type of career path should I expect? From few of my friends who have done MBA from ISB, IIMs, I got to know that students usually get placed in sectors they have prior experience of. So will I, being a teacher for past 5 years, face difficulty getting placed in say, Finance or Consulting sector? I am not really interested in Sales/Marketing.
- In my last job, I was drawing 20 LPA roughly. Does going for MBA justify the switch financially for someone with a profile like mine at my age (29)?
- As you can see, I am a below average candidate.. is there even any chance to get through ISB?
