Hello all,
I have a few queries regarding the specialization that most people in
here choose..
From whatever i learnt over the course of one year of my contacts with
various B-schoolers on this group i have come across very posts on
areas like marketing, sales. I guess that most Indians for that matter prefer to major in Finance(or Finance related)
and end up in Consulting(of all kinds) or Finance, which can be
attributed to the following factors
Superior quant skills.
The lead time to clear one's loan is quite less in these jobs
May be most indians have a non-sales/marketing background(i am not
sure of this)

I just want to know the career prospects for people planning to major
in areas like marketing, sales and plan to work in the US.
I know a few people who have had plum offers in marketing research and
brand management
and how true is the myth, that indians find it difficult to find jobs
in open marketing ?
Further, how difficult is it to get into a Top tier school with a non-sales,
marketing background

Gurus, please pur in your thoughts:)
