@gk_sameera said:I am Sameera, Chemical engineering from the top NIT.Presently working as a Manager Project Operations with the top steel company in India for the past 13 months. My job is basically related to the Project Monitoring and analyzing the progress of the project.My 10th-78% (CBSE)My 12th-95.2% (State)My bachelors-7.52/10quite a few extra curriculars in my bag which I can brag about and hobbies too.
now I have started preparing for GMAT and I am planning to give it in few months (haven't decided the date yet).
What I am interested in knowing is how good does my profile seem for getting through the top notch B-schools? What score is required for it?
I am more interested in going for a 1-year program as the time constraint for me is too short to complete my studies. That's why I was more interested in looking forward to join ISB, Hyderabad by hook or crook as I am not very aware of the other schools with 1 yr program (probably not a lot of homework done before).
Now I feel I am more confused as to how and what I will do after that and what prospects are ahead of me and how to stay focused to a goal and aim which everyone talks of but cannot keep them up. I'm even afraid that even after doing MBA will I be offered a job as worth as I am in, both in terms of the brand value and even the compensation.
Two ways to get that clarity. Start thinking about what really excites you (enjoying to solve DS problems in GMAT does provide any indication about the career transition you want to take). Within your current industry, talk to colleagues working in other roles. See if you'd like to do that after your MBA. Analyse what it is about that role that excites you or doesn't.
Do that with other industries as well. It's going to be a slow process, but that's the only way to find out what YOU would like to do. Others might suggest numerous things, but that won't help.
This is another reason why having more experience and better exposure to more aspects of business can help.
