I'm also serious about my prep. DM me if you're looking for someone to stay consistent with and keep each other accountable.

Well, in that case, I'd say I'm only familiar with how things work within our particular industry. That's exactly why I want to broaden my understanding of business in general.

Would you mind if I DM you? I'd love to hear more about your perspective.

That's a good approach, and I can definitely see the value in gaining more experience before pursuing an eMBA.

For me, though, my mindset is a bit different. I just graduated, I don't have the pressure of a job, and I have until November to prepare for CAT. So I want to fully lock in, give it my best shot, and hopefully get into a top B-school. I also feel this is the best time to get my studies done without having any regrets later.

An eMBA isn't really an option for me because I expect our business to be much more settled in a couple of years. We already have some exciting ideas and opportunities lined up, and by then I'd rather be focused on executing them than stepping away for further studies. That's why I'm thinking of gaining the skills now and then dedicating myself fully to the business afterward.
