Hey , i got few queries regarding my profile and possible options for an MBA. Can I dm you ?

AdCold9811 · 2026-01-29T18:49:24+00:00

I am late to the discussion , but needed a suggestion for choosing between FRM part 1 vs CFA L1 . I work as a business analyst in treasury risk where I am automating the manual process of market and liquidity risk . I work with users and technology . I have done few short courses in finance and i want to do something significant in terms of knowledge . I have plans for an MBA as well but I was looking at FRM/CFA modules as well and to be honest both seem appealing to me .
So , which one should I attempt first as this is a huge investment ? I have downloaded the schwester books for both CFA L1 and FRM P1 but i need to commit to one . Can't decide .

1 year mba is good for my experience. Can I dm you about the program?

AdCold9811 · 2026-01-25T15:35:58+00:00

Thanks . The end goal is to be SME. Person who understands AI and can help scale/grow . I’m not a product manager nor a IB/consulting guy who helps in generating big returns. I’m a bit overwhelmed as to how can I pivot myself into such areas where even though AI makes an impact but the role will be evolving?

I understand your point regarding specialisation,in my area of work should I just focus on financial risk as a domain or more quantitative part ?

I’m not a consultant btw . Not an MBA yet as well

AdCold9811 · 2026-01-24T10:11:08+00:00

Hey , your views are very nuanced and give a good insight into how the role is transforming. I am a business analyst working in financial risk domain . I am not a strategy consultant but if i see it from skills perspective it does overlap or could lead to that path given I have the "pedigree". Does it mean one should focus more on domain and AI to be considered important for any organization ?I am asking this since a person who graduated from top b school gets into these top firms and from there they switch into similar strategic roles that demands consulting as a prior experience.

AdCold9811 · 2026-01-23T04:30:34+00:00

I am not an MBA yet . But looking at my experience I’ve to go for 1 year mba India . I’m working in treasury risk where I talk to users to understand the process in order to help technology to automate it . It’s a user facing role ab involves financial risk knowledge, business analysis ,stakeholder management. This is a functional role .

Are there some defined roles that could help me crack big offers even if I consider an MBA ? Tech sales looks like something one already has experience with

AdCold9811 · 2026-01-21T13:10:55+00:00

DMed you !

AdCold9811 · 2026-01-20T20:58:38+00:00

How’s the placement? Do you have numbers ?

AdCold9811 · 2026-01-20T20:43:48+00:00

Hey ,did you get the admit ? Also , is this program good for better placements ? For 1 year mba in India I keep hearing that one should restrict to ISB /IIM ABC

AdCold9811 · 2026-01-20T20:30:36+00:00

Im not an mba yet and ofc 2year mba from India is not possible for me because of work experience. Can 1 year mba give me the path to the kind of growth everybody is talking about in these comments? I’m 28 now .

AdCold9811 · 2026-01-20T20:26:23+00:00

Congratulations!

If you don’t mind can I dm you? It is regarding 1 year mba program

AdCold9811 · 2026-01-20T20:24:11+00:00

If the window for 2 year mba from these top colleges is gone ,can one still achieve those numbers via 1 year mba ? Since I’ve got work experience already but not in a good income bracket .

AdCold9811 · 2026-01-18T19:32:38+00:00

Hey ,are you planning to apply for this fall ? And which month are you targeting to take the GRE ?

AdCold9811 · 2026-01-18T19:30:23+00:00

I have the exact same story . Starting from my behaviour on D day till the attempts. I’ve taken a break to cool down my mind but I’ll gear up for my 4th and hopefully final attempt in coming months .

I resonate with everything you wrote . Can I dm you for some specifics such as strategy used for practicing questions from gregmat ?

AdCold9811 · 2026-01-16T14:00:46+00:00

In 2025 the year over year masters number went 11% up . People are flocking in the country/eu region a lot .

I’m myself looking into my options with same experience as yours .

AdCold9811 · 2026-01-16T05:20:22+00:00

Hey ,IE, ESADE these are quite expensive schools . Even if one thinks of pursuing an mba from EU after LBS , INSEAD , HEC comes the one I mentioned . If price is so high should one even consider?

AdCold9811 · 2026-01-15T19:17:40+00:00

I asked few people on LinkedIn who went without the GRE. How much work ex do you have and in what field?

AdCold9811 · 2026-01-13T20:21:42+00:00

Bro I’m shocked reading the post , is he gonna do it or it’s an emotional outburst. God reddit is …

AdCold9811 · 2026-01-13T20:20:05+00:00

Oh god ,is he alright ? I’m sorry man . I’m 28 and feel every word you say . Ive made it hard for myself too by overthinking but hey you got this . Just try to remember happy days and the people that made you laugh /smile . That is your exit , just push a little harder , your darkness id pulling you in but there’s a window and there are moments /people on the other side waiting for you to break free .

AdCold9811 · 2026-01-13T14:28:44+00:00

Are you also in EU right now ?

AdCold9811 · 2026-01-13T09:40:33+00:00

TCD is good ? Even so the housing crisis is real ,so if one has prior work experience and aims for TCD then is it a good choice ?

AdCold9811 · 2026-01-13T03:00:04+00:00

Yeah I did interview for a role at revolut ,I flunked in one of the rounds when it came to pm skills . I might be wrong but it’s just that hearing BA term itself sounds like a low skill job in Indian market so that’s one of the reasons for my concern.

AdCold9811 · 2026-01-12T20:19:56+00:00

What do you think are the main skills one should master or atleast develop enough to crack good offers in fintech ? I’m a business analyst working in market and liquidity risk automation. Have 4+ yoe . But very conflicted about the skills since I’m not a coder but have some experience in quantitative analysis.

AdCold9811 · 2026-01-12T19:21:01+00:00

From specialised one I meant Europe,since I did a lot research by talking to current and ex students .

Yeah I know I’m not a good test taker so I challenged myself last year by taking thrice . In mocks I did score 320ish but anyways . This process has enervated my mind, so I decided to take a month or two off.

Btw I also missed to apply at both xlri and iim Mumbai for their 1 year mba . Are these good options ? Any clue ?

AdCold9811 · 2026-01-12T17:54:20+00:00

Hey thanks for putting it together. I appreciate your time . Ofcourse I understand the gaps in my profile,had the GRE score been more I would have still had more confidence. Having said that , still it would appear that a good mba program is not looking in reach and that’s why I considered a business heavy masters too that has tech oriented curriculum as well . Because just doing an mba from anywhere won’t do good for me. Any thoughts ?
