So I want to start exploring doing an mba from abroad. My CV is mostly average but went to a T-1 LS. What kind of mba specialisation should I do which will make it likely to get a job abroad in US, London or Europe? I don’t want the law firm hours though and something more interesting. Is it possible to move to the FMCG sector marketing for us? Or will we automatically be stuck to consulting/finance?
If you’re from a top tier Indian NLU and have had some relevant work experience, aim for Harvard/Stanford/Wharton. The law-MBA combo is great. If you don’t mess up the MBA, then you can walk into tech/IB/consulting/PE in global cities.
Not sure if he’s looking at such roles given he doesnt want law firm hours. Also, majoring in Marketing, HR, business ops etc may make more sense than finance.
How is it that these looser engineers who don’t do much into their 4 years of college are allowed to do a mba but we as lawyers are advised not to pursue it. Correct me if I am wrong.
Because tech companies need managers who understand tech and can also work as a manager. Similarly, in finance, u need to be good in Maths which engineers are better at than lawyers.
Another reason why T1 NLU students are discouraged from doing an MBA is that it doesn't offer much additional monetary benefits (if done from IIMs) than law firms.
Buddy, I understand your concerns but a loan international will be transparently paid by you in case of an amazing placement turnout at these places. Several middle class people do it and they succeed. That should say something right? Bina hesitation have a good gmat score , have 2 years minimum work ex and an amazing work performance
As already said, an MBA in finance is the best and a killer combination with law. But you need to be good in maths and most law graduates are not. If you are not good in maths, consider an MBA in areas like hospital management, hotel management, media management (MICA) or fashion and brand management (NIFT). You can still use the law here, in areas like basic contracts, medical negligence, lP commercialisation etc.
