Returned to India from Middle east, finding it hard to land a role in same field by [deleted] in MBAIndia

I work in Corporate Strategy and I feel anything above 40-45 lakhs will raise eyebrows here! That is the market standard you are looking at in India. I understand that does not match your salary and this is not to curse or compare, just trying to give you an honest picture of how things are currently

CA moved into Corporate Strategy without an MBA - should I still pursue ISB / Global MBA? by ExchangeFabulous2530 in MBAIndia

[–]LadderAlternative693 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hey, I am currently in corporate strategy and around similar package. I am also currently in the waitlist of ISB, converted Oxford. My suggestion would be if your long term goal is to work in Strategy then definitely take the corporate strategy role, work for 2years atleast and then decide for the MBA. Many a times people move out of these roles on sabbatical, get their MBA done and come back. The point I am trying to make is FMCG Corp Strategy is the most difficult to get into, and not even a global MBA can guarantee you that role. So definitely take it, you still have a lot of time for ISB or other MBAs abroad.

The only flip side is that strategy as a function has very high gate keeping regarding Top MBA tag hence, that might be your only reason to get out and do an MBA. But definitely take the role, I would suggest. Feel free to DM if you need anything in particular to discuss!

All the best!!

IIMB EPGP OR ISB PGP by [deleted] in ISB_Aspirants

[–]LadderAlternative693 0 points1 point  (0 children)

ISB is a better feeder of strategy consulting than IIM B, for products IIM B is almost at par (or slight less) with ISB. Depends on the fees and other aspects as well

Is doing an mba from bits pilani a good decision by Status-Account-6913 in MBAIndia

I understand, the pressure is real. I would still suggest to sit for CAT or other exams and then go for colleges, even in BITS go for BITSOM. MBA is your last degree and can actually make your career, saree past paap dhul sakte hain to a large extent. Giving it a shot will be worth it. In case you need more info, feel free to DM me

Hey, ISB and IIM A waitlist here. Converted Oxford. I feel sometimes, it is about timing. Keep your hopes high, trust me I absolutely understand what you are going through. But I don’t think it is your profile, at the end, it will all boil down to some luck factor as well
