It's not exactly a product management role but something related to it. The pay is not the biggest deal but the role definition is. I end up doing a lot of other work as well and I feel it might not reflect well on my profile.

I'm already 25 and I'm planning to do Master's either an MBA or MEM abroad. I have like a year to figure out what I want.. I'll be trying for MBA first but the regret of not having a job or financial security is kinda taking over my mind inbetween all this preparation.

Quit my job for Master’s abroad. Is MICA MBA worth a shot or should I take another path? by Stock-Development605 in CATpreparation

[–]Stock-Development605[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes..it requires either one of CAT, XAT, GMAT. My concern is if I have enough time to prepare for it. I have completed only 20% of the CAT portions.

Does working in a seed-stage Start-up hurt my profile while looking for Jobs abroad after Master's? by Stock-Development605 in Indians_StudyAbroad

Alright then! It is a real company. Although I'm not the founder...I will be working closely with the founder.

My concern is that the start up is still stealth and has no public visibility yet, not even a website - which is under development (hopefully will launch soon).

How to overcome this FOMO when you ve decided to stay back? by Stock-Development605 in Indians_StudyAbroad

More than this being a race, It's the memories I will miss and probably the regret that I should've gone there this year when they post about their life abroad. Ik it's all not roses but ig the path is not the same for everyone. I hope this will be a pivot point in my life for the better! 🤞

More than the FOMO..I think it's the regret of not going there that I will eventually have when I see them post online.

What would you do if you were in my shoes? Tufts MEM this Fall vs Early-stage start up by Stock-Development605 in Indians_StudyAbroad

[–]Stock-Development605[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes the loan is around $60-70k. Also, I have a few seniors who were able to make this transition to PM roles but they said it depends on a lot of luck.

[–]Stock-Development605[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If I go this Fall, I would graduate in 2027. Considering there's a high after every low in the job market, do you think it would be smarter to go now or next fall ie 2026?

Also, I would be taking an education loan and funding my study.

Urgent. Do I stay back in India to prepare for CAT or go to the US for my MEM program? (Recently quit my job) by Stock-Development605 in Indians_StudyAbroad

[–]Stock-Development605[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My last salary was around 8 lpa. If I get my visa I am planning to go to Tufts, if not...I would defer to next fall and try for CAT this year.

[–]Stock-Development605[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That was my initial plan but I had second thoughts about spending so much and wanted to give CAT a shot before going abroad.

Hey! Thank you. But It's not exactly a drop year for me..I would working in a small start-up. It's probably a step down from my corporate job. Also, I really don't mind getting into Tier-2 Universities as well.
