MBA Applywire
Hi. I pivoted from litigation to credit research (worked with Evalueserve India, Crisil India) post my first mba. I did my mba from Symbiosis School of banking and finance in 2021. And altogteher i hold 6 years 4 months of work experience. I am targeting for 2027 fall. I hold an undergraduate degree in Law (BA.LLB (Hons)). I am looking for a change in roles/ geography.
Additional Notes:
1. MBB consultant w/3 years at the firm + one promotion
2. Took a secondment at a nonprofit focused in sustainability in countries below the equator (although have programs above too), including the one I am from (mentioned the link in essays)
3. Choosing to go to MBA for network opportunity to continue sustainability-focus, and inch closer to being ready to be in fields like impact investing (think MBB gives me general knowledge, but doesn't get me to where I want to go)
4. Will return to MBB because of sponsorship
5. Am worried about GRE; got a 158Q and 169V - so avg is around school avg, but the split is bad. Biggest worry here.
6. URM
URM with strong extracurriculars mentoring and tutoring low income students of various ages. Worked 25-40 hrs per week in undergrad which explains the lower GPA. Have led automation projects at work and should receive strong letters of rec. Goal is to pivot to management consulting at a B4/T2 in the financial services space since it matches my prior experience.
