The Ultimate..!!

...we hear many 'noble' reasons for doing an MBA - learning business skills, exploring new arenas, accelerating in the current career track, networking, pedigree, global exposure etc, etc..... All these might be genuine and worthy reasons for pursuing a business education...Irrespective of the noble intentions and the good talk -, for the majority, the ultimate thing is the Placements...!! Where they are placed at the end of their MBA is the first test of the value of their newly earned esteemed degree...!!

Having said that, the first job after MBA need not be the true reflection of where one is headed - career changes happening within few months after they leave the school is not an uncommon thingie..!! It is very important to be focussed, yet flexible, in pursuing the path in the newer jungle -and that's precisely, what i am trying to do...

It has been an hectic self-introspection lately, but i kinda decided to be open to change in all the three spheres of career - industry, function, and location. I am not very particular about the location, but i think i should be open to consulting, financial services industries; general management functional roles!!

Placements have already kicked in at ISB with international firms coming in, and i am finding the current term as the toughest firm so far despite the freedom and flexibility ISB has bestowed upon us.... (four elective courses; ELP; PAEV; business plans; Resumes and EOIs; Learning French ..what not..Life is so much fun!!)
