Most who have similar aspirations take the help of an MBA to make the jump. Without that it can be quite challenging. We've seen a few do that, but they were exceptional in what they did in the old firm. If you're in that situation, try getting a warm introduction to the company you're interested in. Beyond that you'd be on your own, in terms of convincing the team to hire you.

MBA programs don't really discriminate based on pre-MBA degrees. What's important is to show aptitude and accomplishments in the field you're targetting, so bschools and recruiters are both convinced that you're the right candidate.

Hi Sameer I am Sindhu Priya. I am pursuing my final semester of BBA from Hyderabad. I am confused whether to join in mba or build my skills practically by taking a job and join in other courses. I researched to clear my confusion, but everyone have their opinion like yes you should do mba, no need it's the same theory and assignments you get from your BBA, you can do mba if you are into business and it's not quite necessary also. I thought of joining job for 1year so I may get any clarity and prepare myself too. But I should prepare for entrance exams for that which are really hard with me(maths, logics etc...). If I am prepared for mba though, I wanted to do business where I am worried financially also. Can you please help me to get a clarity! Thanks Sindhu Priya.

Your 10th and 12th don't matter. And you've done well in LLB (assuming that's what rank 2 meant). So don't worry too much about that. Other than doing well in the remaining part of the degree, there's not much that can be done in acads. Focus on getting into one of the top tier law firms and start building the skills and experience not just for that role, but also anything that may be relevant to your post MBA goals. However, one word of caution. Management consulting and startups are different worlds. You'll have to narrow down on one, and have a strong rationale to defend it. What kind of startups did you have in mind?
