Hello all,
I am an Indian Mechanical Engineer in early 30's, working in middle east oil and gas industry for reputed American giant with about 12 years of experience. I have good engineering experience in running oil and gas operations and can take up technical lead roles but interested to pursue MBA and move to managerial or Techno-commercial side in energy business.
I prefer 1 year programs considering my age, Should I opt European - INSEAD, IMD, HEC or any other canadian/american ?
Profile: As mentioned earlier I am a mechanical engineer, Indian and Middle east expertise, oil and gas back ground with minimal extra curricular experience
(not a high % guy but makes decent six figure $$ tax free every year)
Thanks for your time

Thanks for sharing your profile.
As an exercise to better answer your question, try to identify the knowledge and skills you would need to move into a managerial role, and see if you would gain these by pursuing an MBA. Checking on the schools' placement statistics whether they match your target companies / roles / location could also help aid your decision. Also, if you have colleagues who have pursued an MBA, you may learn from their experiences, as well.
Hope this helps in getting you started in seriously considering an MBA.

Thank you for your post. Where do you want to work regionally as a next step after your MBA? Ideally you go to a program in the region you want to work in. An MBA will definitely help you try to secure more of a managerial role. That said, there are many data points needed to evaluate your profile.
Send me a note with the following and I would be happy to give you a consultation:
1) Undergraduate school and grades
2) Extra-curricular activities (what do you do outside of work)
3) Target GMAT score (if you have started studying)
[email protected]
Best,
Scott
