Hey Mr. Kamat, thank you for putting out such great content, you might remember me from our conversation in the comments section of your previous video. I have a few questions that I was hoping you might be able to help me with. I am a first-year commerce (Bcom) undergraduate student at a Tier 3 university, I've recently started working part time as an exam proctor and grader at a local high school and I am currently deciding between two options for my post-graduation plans. I am interested in pursuing a career in consulting, preferably at one of the MBBs. However, I am unsure whether to prepare for CAT and try to get admission to one of the IIMs or prepare for banking exams (PO, RBI Grade B) and work as a PO in commercial banking for a few years before applying to MBB feeder schools abroad. What would you recommend as the best approach to achieving my career goals? Would working as a PO in commercial banking for a few years before applying to MBB feeder schools abroad enhance my chances of getting into a top-tier consulting firm? Even If I do make it to an IIM would the MBBs even consider me for an interview, given the lack of extra curriculars in my undergrad? Thank you in advance for your response.

Between IIM and a PO job, the first one is a better route to MBB jobs. We haven't come across anyone with a PO background who have got into MBB. Being in the first year gives you 2+ years to do something on the extracurricular part. So try to make the most of this opportunity. And there are many good consulting firms beyond MBB that you can consider, where you'll get a good exposure to how management consulting works. And the pay is quite good in those other firms too.

Your second sentence has the answer. But as a general rule of thumb, we've seen that entrepreneurs have better and more varied stories to include in their essays helping them stand out from the crowd. The flip side is that they have too many too choose from, and they end up squeezing in too much - assuming at least some of it will impress the admission officer. Stay away from that trap. Are you planning to apply this year? What GMAT / GRE score do you have, or are expecting?

Hi Sameer and MCB Team. I hope you're doing well. Just wanted to know in the era of AI & ChatGPT do you think MBA is still necessary (Specially International MBA) for climbing corporate ladder quickly. In future to get into senior management position for any top MNCs, is MBA still necessary to have in resume? What's your take on this? How do you think MBA syllabus will change in upcoming years where technology and AI automate most jobs? Kindly provide your two cents. Thanks

By definition management science is about being able to see the bigger picture and taking strategic decisions that in turn will trickle down to the operational levels. Tools like AI, ChatGPT will be used for productivity to take over mechanical and easily repeatable tasks. As long as you are clear about what role you want to play in business, then an MBA can be helpful is getting to know the bigger picture. To take a simpler example, calculators didn't take over our jobs. We'll learnt how to use them to make our jobs easier.

Outside the US, we've listed a couple of options in the video (IESE and ISB). But IESE wouldn't make your filter since it's not an English speaking country. One of the reasons deferred MBA isn't as popular in other countries is connected to the fact that Europe has an alternative degree (MiM) targetted at the same target market. So there's not much of an incentive for them to offer other degrees that cannibalise their other programs.

Hi Sameer and the MCB team, thank you so much for the work you do to help the student community in India. I'll be attending a T15 in the coming fall. They have been generous to help me with a 60% scholarship. However, choosing to attend the program over ISB was extremely hard for me to do. I had withdrawn my admission to ISB at the last possible moment. I was told by members of the careers team that I'd have limited career options out of ISB considering my previous work experience. I'm an only child and I'd have to take care of my aging parents. While thankfully mu parents are still doing well, leaving India for the US is making me jittery. Could you please do an updated video (or shed some light through comments) of the opportunities and career graphs for people in consulting/prod man post returning to India after working in the US for 3-4 years Thank you so much once again for all your help.

Congrats on the multiple admits! It's a little strange that ISB gave you a bleak picture on the possibilities, and this was after giving you an admit. Nevertheless, you have several things going in your favour. You've got a generous scholarship that takes off the financial pressure to some extent. And your parents are in good health. So personal pressures are off for the next few years, allowing you to spread your wings. Could you share a bit more about your work experience?

​​​​@@MBACrystalBall thank you so much for responding! Well it wasn't exactly an official from isb, but a student member in the CAS team. I've known this person for a while now so I didn't see any reason to doubt him. On the contrary, I don't have a niche profile at all. I'm as vanilla as they come. I'm a software developer from a non IIT/NIT with a little over 6 years of work ex. From what I understand, pivoting (especially into consulting and the MBB) could get quite challenging for me considering the quantum of work ex and the fact that I have been a software developer through and through. From what I gather, I would be able to pivot abroad as the recruitment happens at a level or two above what happens at ISB and this would be commensurate to someone having my level of experience ( for eg in Amazon parlance L4 at ISB vs L6 in the US or in McKinsey terms Junior Associate at ISB vs Associate in the US). I also got a similar impression after speaking with the recently graduated students having similar backgrounds to mine. They too had difficulty in pivoting at isb and were restricted to Tech. Since the reverse migration back home to India is relatively uncommon, I was wondering how the career trajectory would be for folks like myself. Yes, I'm attending a STEM program

@MBACrystalBall

Жыл бұрын

Thanks for that clarity. ISB does make it super-difficult to get into MBB. We published an article on it written by an ISB student who got into a non-MBB company. Let me know if you'd like to read it. The odds sure are higher if you target a feeder MBA program for consulting. If the program you're targeting is in that league, that's part of the battle won since you'll at least have a decent shot at those companies. If you cannot get into MBB, or a tier-2/3 consulting firm, that's not the end of the world. Along with consulting, you can aim for companies where you're looking for a role change within the same industry. That would still be a win. And reverse migration is getting more common that you think. If you choose to come back after 3-4 years (since the STEM status gives you more breathing room), what would matter is that new experience and not the degree itself. Makes sense?

You're doing fine. But it may be better to wait till you gain some work experience since you may be able to do much more during that time than you could do in college. Is waiting an option?

Sure, it's possible to apply for 1 year MBA programs in India. Is there any reason why you were unsure about it?

@@MBACrystalBall I appreciate your swift reply .I am unsure because....last year I took CAT and somehow managed to score 75 percentile...but did not apply for any collages, because good collages not possible at this percentile. I lost 1 year already. Some are advising me to go for Data Science... so, I am confused between these two (I am interested in both Data as well as MBA too)...... which direction I should go...I need advice from your side.

CAT MBA programs would not have been a good fit for you, considering the amount of experience you have. So despite the bad news on the CAT scoring front, it was probably good that you did not join a program where you'd be spending time with freshers and recent grads. GMAT MBA is an option, but you'd still need a good score if you want to target the good programs. How did you prepare for CAT last time? On your own or took classes?

There's no fixed number. Aim for the highest you can, and then figure out what you can do with what you actually get. You can check on sites like GMAT Club which host many test prep companies. Try out their free trial to see which one suits your learning style and then decide.
