Dear Team
Please advise me on my prospects for a regular MBA (full-time 1-year/2-years) from Canada, Europe, Singapore.
Age - 34 years by September,2020
Work experience - 9 years as on July, 2020
Gender, Nationality - Male, Indian
GMAT - Not written yet
Preferred areas of work (post MBA) - Finance, General Management, Consultancy
Education-
(1) M. Tech in VLSI Design (University of Calcutta)-DGPA-8.81
(2) B. Tech in Electronics and Communication Engineering-DGPA-8.46 (Private Engg College, India)
WorkExp-
1. Indian Public Sector Bank-2014 - to date (6 years)
2. TCS-2011-2014 - 3years
Though I have received an admit from the 2-year full-time MBA from Indian Institute of Foreign Trade (IIFT, International Business) for 2020-2022, I want to do the MBA from good B schools of the aforementioned countries/continent. However, given my age, work ex duration and the current economic scenario, I am not sure
(1) if good B schools will accept me and
(2) will I be able to find jobs relevant to my preferred areas of work (post MBA)
Please advise
(1) if I have good chances of being selected and securing jobs thereafter -after an MBA from good B schools of Canada, Europe and Singapore
(2) If I do the two-year MBA from IIFT now and work for another 1-2 years after the MBA, can I apply to good B-schools of Canada, Europe and Singapore then (I will be 37-38 years old then) ?
(3) What programs other than an MBA look for using the talent and ability of candidates in overseas locations ? If MBA becomes untenable at such an age as in (2) above, I may consider doing such programs to improve my candidacy.
(4) if joining IIFT, New Delhi for an MBA at this stage would be a good option instead of applying to global B schools through GMAT
I sincerely look forward to hearing from you soon.

Hi Magicnow,
Thanks for sharing your profile with us!
If you enroll in the IIFT MBA now, you should consider that your one and only MBA experience. Between your age / tenure and the fact that you'll already have an MBA from IIFT, other MBA programs will be very unlikely to seriously consider your candidacy in the future. In general, top global MBA programs are very hesitant to accept applicants who already have an MBA from another institution.
Based on the information you provided, including about your career goals, I'd say that an MBA would be the best fit, more than any other type of graduate degree. In terms of your chances at well-regarded Canadian, European, and Singaporean programs, they'll hinge on a handful of factors: your GMAT score (of course, the higher the better, but I would say that you should target a 700+ to be most competitive), your professional track record (promotions, specific examples of leadership and impact, etc.), and your stated post-MBA goals (both short term and long term). You'll want to narrow down your post-MBA career goals, as Finance, General Management, and Consultancy are much too broad. Think about not only what truly interests you the most, but also what will sound credible to the AdCom (even if you say you want to be a career-switcher after business school, you want to demonstrate that you already have skills and experience that will be transferrable in the future). Whether you take the IIFT offer or roll the dice with applications to overseas programs now is really a personal decision for you to make -- either path is viable, but it comes down to whether you want to take a sure bet now (IIFT) or take a gamble (overseas applications) if you can improve the factors mentioned above.
As for your chances in securing a good job after b-school, that will be influenced by many things that are unfortunately outside your control (as this global pandemic has clearly demonstrated). However, presumably you want to pursue an MBA to increase your marketability as a professional, so that degree as well as the school network should be good investments for you in the long run, even if in the short term you might graduate into a recession or a restricted labor market.
I hope that's helpful! Feel free to reach out to us at www.admissionado.com if we can be of further help.
Best,
Doris
