Hi .

I am a techie(in IT since last 2 yrs.). And its high time I start thinking clearly about my future ahead. I am currently considering the option of GMAT and MBA abroad.
The decision-process is very confusing and at-times misguiding.
This thread is for people facing similar issues.
Ill elaborate the real issue:
1. Working in IT has its perks and u are just lost in time bieng employed. Lots of work to be busy and decent pay makin it difficult to go anywhere else.
Frankly, right now I have no idea what future prospects are when I will switch from technical field to a management workplace. Will I be a misfit? Will there be limited career options?

2. Also is the gamble(leaving job, paying huge sum to study further) worth the risk?

This becomes more relevant in times of global economic crisis.


3. For a techie, GRE a better option than GMAT?


I encourage people facing the above three issues to discuss further for common cause.
People with similar issues in the past are most welcome to share their valuable advice and experiences.
Thanks.
