Hi ,
The background:
MBA,Engg Degree in Electronics,Post MBA Exp of 6 years.Working with Fortune 500 Company in Sales.(1 1/2 years of exp with Automatic Data Capturing Company -India+ 4 1/2 years in Retail Sales
I am planning a second MBA to further my career in Marketing/Consulting.
I am considering the following B Schools :
LBS,ISB,Oxford (Not Sure).
Now I will be turning 33 yrs next year so is it a 'quality decision ' to also consider top notch US B School also.
The point that is troubling me is that I will be 35 yrs when I pass out -how good will be the job prospects.(I know this is a subjective question ,I need some pointers to finally decide on this issue).
The financial burden a Top Notch B-School (I am interested in top B Schools only) is big,hence I am not sure to commit forward.
Assumptions: Kindly make assumptions that my GMAT,Essays and other factors are good enough to get through.(I see this problem from Age (Job prospects at 35 years) and Financial burden associated with it angle 0nly)
Do you have any specific B schools in your mind that I should apply in US.

Suithink,
Purely from an ROI standpoint, an MBA from a top U.S. program makes sense. Forbes magazine estimates that it takes only 3 years to pay off your education *including opportunity cost* at a top school. From there on out, it's pure profit. I imagine the best European schools can boast the same kind of payback.
In terms of your age, an MBA from a top U.S. school will probably convince many reticent recruiters to give you a chance. U.S. schools definitely do admit people in your age range, and they do go on to get jobs in the careers they seek. However, you fall out of the middle 80% for almost every top school, so be clear that the odds are against you as an older applicant.
The fact that you already have an MBA (however much it may be inadequate to your needs) is another obstacle facing you. You may want to consider an executive or part-time MBA, where your odds of admission are better. You could consider Kellogg, Haas, and NYU--strong marketing programs and they have part-time MBA programs.
Good luck,
