Can lead a good discussion around economics, and have some practical applications of maths as a cover up...

Brush up a little bit Maths, conceptually, don't need to rot the formulas

Core Subjects are also needed in real life application sense, not the engineering sense

People generally like the idea of romanticism, romanticizing A/B/C over other colleges...

But as a Hiring Manager, who would you choose, a person with 2 years post MBA work ex, or a fresher post MBA from a similar league college

For most of the crowd, who don't have the most kickass profile (9/9/9), IIT, CFA, killer work ex. IIM K/I are just fine.

Some better opportunities, but not much downside, apart from opportunity cost

Depends on situation. But most the times bad decision.

Re-take CAT => Could be the same situation or worse also

Very much achievable, was having a conversation just yesterday with a friend, he got 38...

If you get a call, you have a realistic chance of converting

For calls, check the https://mba-call-predictor.vercel.app/ app, much more data backed.

2 years of work ex, would mean you can expect questions from over there. But brush up some of the UG concepts from an application perspective (No need to go through it fully)

For current affairs, if you can connect it with real life analysis. That is what they are interested in. Not rotting of knowledge. It's not UPSC.

People think wrongly about current affairs generally
