Hi Guys,
i have some queries , it will be really helpful if any body can answer this
QUERY
i have a about 4 yrs of work experiece s/w now i got offer to work abroad
on H1, but i also want to do MBA in IIMS I gave cat this time managed only 96% with no call from IIMS 
iam preparing for 2005
my doubt is that is it ok to go abroad & gain work exp & i will be working as a consultant to some big s/w comp(LIKE BODY SHOPPING )
iam a be from ordinary college ,i feel at this point i might not be having a disadvantage in s/w because of market conditions
but in the long run working in abroad will it be use full without any good degree even though iam very good techie
as i got the offer to work abroad & a i dont have much money or my family background is not sound enough to afford mba from us or uk
so should go to abroad or stay in banglore & prepare for CAT ,ISB,AIM etc
dude?
u outta ur mind? hey i know im a lil young but of wht i understand, u should always take the oppurtunity when it comes. u might want to drag on for another year and might get a great percentile in cat, but u might also get a 96.8762392742549245959 percentile! then what? that wud make u sink more! so do something. take up that job. i know scoresof people who are just engineers and are doing extremely well. its only in india that there is such a mad craze for mba. every second or rather everyone is doing it! go abroad, earn some bucks. inspite of ur "family's situation" u will then be ableto afford an a class mba. your company mught also sponsor youforan mba but u wud have to do extremely well at work for that...
so buddy. applyfor a visa and take off!
tell me what uve decided...
hi
dude go abroad and earn some mullah and well i cud say surely that even after cuming back from there u will have a definite advantage during mba interviews here or abroad.
close ur eyes and go abroad

but dont u guys think the MBA from good institute helps a lot for fast career growth
after u get about 8 or 10 yrs of work exp????????????
now i know i am very good techie & market conditions are good so iam having a great time
getting 50 % hike every year
but how long will that continue ??????????
after 4 years of work experience ISB is a good option for MBA , as you will be done with your MBA in 1 year + the avg. salary there is 9-10 lacs as compared to other top indian b-schools where it is around 6 lacs + a 2 yr MBA course.

being a techie n being an mba r two very diff things...
if u r doing so well being a techie...
n like ur job...
(am assuming that coz it's really tuff to do well without liking ones job)...
why on earth do u wanna do an mba?
and abt career growth...
the career growth could be the same as a techie...
the level of competition will be the same as an mba
if u wanna do an mba for the money...
then u r totally misinformed...
as a good techie...
i repeat "good"
u can make more money than a say above average mba
if u take the best cases...
say the best MBA==>> CEO after 15-20 yrs
and the best techie==>> acrchitect after 10-15 yrs
the CEO and architect *could* earn just abt the same amt of money (depending on the company etc)
the bottomline is...
do what ur heart tells u to do...
don't look at the greenbacks!!

see i will tell u what my goal is actually then u might give ur opinion
reply
see now iam working on banking software product (already one of the best in world )
at present iam a hard core techie
at some point of time i want to become functional consultant or techno functional guy in BFSI Domain for that i believe mba from good insti helps when compared to only tech exp

ok...
don't get offended for chrissake!
i too work on a product...it's also one of the best in its field...
but i really don't know whether i can ever become a "domain expert" by just working on this product...infact...in india if a guy has 10+ yrs work ex in one vertical he's considered a "domain expert"! bah!...ok..that's totally besides the point...neway...
u seem to know exactly what u wanna do...go ahead...all the best
First let me ask u one Q... do u have any call from top 10 colleges in India...
IF ANY-CALL = 'NO'
{there is no problem .. GO ABROAD on ur assignment... Why
:...
1. U will learn much more by directly dealing with clients...
2. It will also help u in understanding client perspective...
3. 1 & 2 will lead to more insight into the product n BFSI industry thereby leading to increased domain knowledge...
4. U will have more money (u can easily save ~75k per month ) which will help u in financing ur education after a yr or two...
5. Moreover, this one yr will also give u time to introspect wht u actually want to be in life...(which ur not sure of rite now.. )
6. U already know the options availble in India... during this 1-2 yr stint, u can figure out options available in US (u said H1 )... for e.g. do u know MIT offers a prg called SDM for people with 5 yr IT exp... columbia univ also offers something similiar... need not tell u tht MIT is anyday better than IIMs...
7. If u cud not make it to IIMs in 4 yrs, what makes u so sure abt 5th yr:huh: ... in short: chg ur plan buddy...
}
ELSE
Trust ur instincts... u r ur best judge...
END-IF.
Thankx
Hi!!,
Even I had faced the same issue last year. I went for the job in dubai & will be going for GMAt. I beleive that a good gmat score coupled with 3-4 yrs of work ex can land u up in a good b school.
In addition to this, All IIMs consider u as a international student if u r abroad for more than 1 year & hence can apply to them thru gamt which i beleive is a much easier way to getting into them rather than going for CAT.
Decide what u want kyuki "marzi hai apki, akhir career hai apka"
Bye for now

I decided to prepare for gmat & try for us as well as indian b school as i will b in us for 3 yrs intially on HI so i might have complete that 3 yrs full quota then study that was the reason i was skeptical about going on h1 now my plans are clear
and wil go on year end
THANKS for ur advice
Does a person needs to be an NRI at the time of filing the application to IIM's using GMAT score?
To explain in bit detail, i am currently working in US on L1 for the past 2 yrs. I am planning to give my GMAT, sometime end of this year. I want to apply for IIM's also using my GMAT score. My only worry is, will my application become invalid, if incase i need to be in India when i file my application.
Please help me in this regard.

u r a good techie right and i take it granted dat u like wat u workin on
so why do u wan to do MBA
follow ur passion and rest all money fame will follow
if u wan to do MBA stay here forget abroad but if u like being techie just pack and leave
vaneet
go abroad, earn money and aplly thr only as pointed out by one of the pgites abt MIT n all.
and at tht point if u wanna apply in india , apply just to ISB, IIMA.
thts my personal opinion
