plz advice me what should i do now? whether i should switch job just now or not?? my present comp pays me in excess of Rs. 6L p.a. this will now increase in some time due to 6th pay commision recommendations. plz be upfront.

Hi Gaurav,

Hi,
I'm Sharan. This is actually my 2nd account here at PG. My earlier one, HatoriH, seems to be defunct for some reason.. can't login, no clue why.

Ok, little bit about me. I'm taking my GMAT (yeh, 'taking', not 'giving', get enough grief about that) on the 30th of Aug... ooh.. and if I got my time and space co-ordinates right...that's in 3 days...

I've taken me GMAT before aii.. and got a 660, but since I'm trying to convince those nice and beautiful people at Stanford or Berkeley to let me in, I think I'll need to do a little better.. so wish me luck.

Ok, a little bit about me.
I've been working for a while now. I started my own business when I was 17, a computer shop, selling PCs, nice n' shiny gaming rigs and service.. which included telling nice old ladies to plug their monitors in mostly.

Did that for about 3 years, after which, I had to decide to either expand or study, and I chose .. Study.
Did 1 year of BScIt, then switched to BMS (finance)
On graduating, I got a nice job with an online gaming company, as a Community Manager, localisation and marketing guy for their MMORPGs. Good time.. lots of late night gaming sessions.

Hmm.. lets see.. Yeh..Quit that one, spent some time travelling around India, then got back and started working with another MMOGaming Company... this time as Community Manager-man-in-charge and Marketing alliances guy.. and all the other good things you get to do in a Start Up (even did production work for a TV ad)

So, now, 3 Start-ups and many years down, I'm re-taking my GMAT, and hoping to go to Stanford or Berkeley, or somewhere equally apt for my craziness and meglomaniacal aspirations.

Good to meet you all.
