Need career-saving advice. Pls help🙏
22M. Hi everyone. I have a 997 profile (grad 70%). BS Physics (4 years) from IISER Pune. I got a full scholarship phd offer from EPFL, Switzerland. I also got into IIM klism. I have chosen to do my MBA as I cannot afford to live six years abroad, not earning much, as I come from a financially weak background. I can always do my phd in my early or mid thirties, once my family's future is secured.
As I do not have much idea about the mba world, I wanted to ask if a FRESHER like me with a bad cgpa in grad can get top companies. My target is finance/consulting/product management. Do you think I can get shortlists from mbb for consulting or investment banking or product management roles from top companies (highest paying roles)?
If not, which roles should I target and invest most of my energy on? For maximum wealth creation in 6-7 years post mba. Please help! 🙏
