Hi

,
I'm a confused with how to approach my career goals. Please go thru the following and help me:
I've been working in an Software MNC for the last 1.5 yrs (joined in May 2004). Before this I did my MCA from SVIM, Indore (2001-2004). Even before that I did my graduation in electronics from indore (1998-2001).
The thing is, I seriously wanted to be an engineer (the seriously has been added after I couldn't get a seat in Engg). But due to poor preps and not so much commitment, I did my BSc and then I did MCA to fulfill 1/2 of ambition, i.e. to have sound technical knowledge.
I was very serious through out my MCA, and kind of made a 180 degree turn as far as my commitment was concerned. As I was completing my PG, I knew that the other half of my career goal was still left unsatisfied. I wanted to do MBA. So I thought as soon as I'll complete my MCA, I'll start preps for CAT. But due to some personal problems, I had to put that plan on hold (my Big Bro started working before he could complete his PG, due to financial problems. So now it was his turn to study n my turn to work, no issues with that).
Now I have a very good position in my company, I've done a lot of hard work, got very good assignments and really enjoyed the last 18 months working. But I want to do my MBA, and I mean from the best possible place. I am preparing for CAT 2006, and also GMAT.
Now comes the questions
1. Is it really worth to do an MBA after my masters (I'm aiming the TOP 10 B Schools)?
2. With my preference being Software Enterprise Mgt as the field, which Schools can offer me the best courses?
3. Is a 1Yr MBA (from lets say ISB) better for me as I've already "invested" 6 years into education after Higher Secondary?
4. With my total exp > 2.5 yrs (in which the exposure I got was functional as well as technical), what kind of scores should I be looking for in CAT and GMAT (for ISB)?
Please help me, as I need to converge to the finer points. I am totally committed towards doing it in the best possible manner.
Thanks n Cheers,
Vamsi Duvvuri
