Joining KPMG India BE division soon, wanted some honest insights

Will be joining KPMG India soon as a Consultant in the Business Excellence (BE) division. Wanted to hear from people who’ve worked in this team or know about it. What kind of work/projects are usually involved? Is it more strategy, process improvement, or operations focused?

Also wanted to understand how the culture is in BE. Are the teams generally supportive, how hectic does work get, and how much client exposure or travel is involved? Do people get opportunities for onshore collaboration too?

Would also love to know if BE is considered a good vertical in terms of learning, growth, increments, and future exits. Any honest insights would really help before joining :)

Hey guys,

I’m currently working as a software engineer — pay is good, growth is fine, and I actually like what I do. It’s not like I’m miserable or anything. But at the same time, I keep wondering… is this it? Like, do I just keep going deeper into tech or pursue a Masters in Computers or should I step out and try something broader?

That’s where the MBA thought comes in — especially something like ISB.

On one hand, it feels exciting. My college was basically wiped out by COVID, so I never really built that strong friend circle or network. A part of me feels like an MBA could fix that gap.

If I stay in tech:

  • I’ll keep earning well (and probably more with switches)
  • I already have a clear path
  • No debt, no opportunity cost

If I go for an MBA:

  • I’m spending a lot of money + giving up 1 year of income
  • I might end up earning similar (or even less initially?)
  • And there’s no guarantee I’ll even like the roles I switch into

My profile is decent (9/8/9, CS background, startup experience), but nothing super fancy in terms of extracurriculars — thanks to online college.

I think what’s really confusing me is this:

  • Am I actually interested in an MBA, or just scared of getting bored in tech later?
  • Is wanting a better network/social circle a valid reason to do an MBA?
  • Do people regret leaving software for this, or is it worth it long-term?

Would really love to hear from people who’ve been in this exact spot.

Not looking for perfect answers — just honest experiences.

Thanks 😄

Hi everyone,

I’m planning to apply to ISB and am currently preparing for the GRE, aiming for a 330+ score. I’m working full-time, so I’m specifically looking for structured, streamlined online courses that don’t require me to piece together prep from multiple scattered resources.

For those of you who:

- Are current ISB students, or

- Have received admits (especially with strong GRE scores)

I’d love to know:

- Which online GRE prep courses you used

- What worked (and what didn’t)

- Whether the course was sufficient on its own or needed supplementation

- How you managed prep alongside a full-time job

I’m not looking for random free resources—I’d prefer something cohesive, efficient, and proven.

Would really appreciate any honest recommendations or experiences. Thanks in advance!

I appeared for Accenture S&C L9 interview a few days ago; They asked me to submit some documents post the interview as well.

In how many days can I expect a response from these guys? Do they take long to reveal the results?

Should I reach out to the HR, or wait?

Thanks
