I'm currently doing MBA at Carnegie Mellon University (Tepper School of Business). What I have observed from the class discussions is that all my peers are highly ambitious and are intelligent enough to grab the lucrative jobs. However, we do enjoy in the weekends. Go Tartans!
Good to have that balance. If you can manage that during the MBA, you will find a way to continue with it after graduation. Other than consulting, banking and tech, are there other careers that are attracting interest?

Very nice of you to say this, Arvind. Are there any specific types of topics that you find more helpful than the others? What would you like to see more of?
Sir
I am shivam das pursuing bsc statistics . In 3rd year now. Current sgpa 7.7 , 10th 95%, 12th 92%.
I want to get into investment banking roles after an mba.
I plan to get work ex for 4 5 years and complete CFA certification before applying for mba programs.
What specific range of score shokld i be looking at for b schools like hec paris insead and iese?
I am also an national level table tennis player having won multiple accolades at national ,state and district levels
Hows my profile for such schools? Any suggestions to improve my profile?
Your work experience will influence the strength of your profile to a large degree Without that it's tough to form any view, since you're still studying. Focus on doing well in your degree, and try to get into a finance related role after graduating, preferably in an investment bank. There is no magic number for the GMAT score, so try to go higher than the median for your target programs.
no sir not yet,the companies are coming still,sir if i want to study in top business colleges what is the minimum work experience they ask and at what age shall i start preparing for gmat?
The average experience in the top schools is around 5 years. They do have folks with around 2 years too, but it gets tougher to compete with experience applicants when you haven't got as many accomplishments to show. When will placements start in your college? And which companies come to recruit?
Sir your vidoes are really helpful,sir currently i am in 3rd year industrial engineering and managment at RV college banglore,i have ambition of doing mba abroad in top business school,i am confused about work experience (shall i accept the campus placements or shall i prepare for gmat)as most of the top colleges require work experience,please help sir ❤
Always good to gain work experience before considering any management degree. Do you already have a job offer in hand? What role is it for, and why aren't you interested in it?

"I love your book, 'Beyond the MBA Hype,' but I need a suggestion from your personal perspective since you are the expert in this field. Let me share my situation with you. I have always dreamt of pursuing an MBA, not fully comprehending the reality of the corporate world, particularly the work-life imbalance. In the first two years of my career, I switched jobs frequently, primarily in search of the right opportunity.
Upon reflection, I've come to doubt whether I'm suited for a corporate job given the intense pressure, competition, and politics involved. Nevertheless, I still have a lingering belief that I can handle it, but it might just be the hype.
I believe one of the main culprits in shaping this perception is the marketing strategies employed by private colleges, which are very effective at painting a misleading picture for students. For example, they promote business analyst courses despite the oversaturation of the job market in this field.
After hearing about my corporate world experience, what would you suggest: should I consider a career change or continue pursuing an MBA?"
You raise a very important question that most MBA aspirants don't - whether the other side is really as rosy as everyone paints it to be. For some, it can be. Most many, it's the exact opposite. If you already have the feeling that the corporate life is extracting more than you bargained for, it may be better to hold off those MBA plans for now. An MBA will more likely push you deeper into the corporate world that you've begun to question. Curious to know - if the work life balance issues are a turnoff, what was the reason you wanted to consider an MBA?
Hello sir I want to ask you about Global MBA vs mba which should we do specially from abroad
Can you elaborate on what you mean by Global MBA?
@@MBACrystalBall there are two types of mba . MBA specialization and global mba
Seems like a terminology disconnect. All the top international schools that we cover on our channel offer specialisation via electives. But they don't call themselves global MBAs.
Sameer i hv a question for you
Having spent 20 years in the corporate world and seen the politics and hollowness of it I am more inclined to an intellectually stimulating job in analytics,AI and data science which is more strategic in nature rather than coding and implementation etc
Most of the jobs in this area are technical in nature and so wanted to pursue an exc mba degree which can place me in the product management roles in AI or analytical field as imho getting these roles without a pedigreed profile is becoming difficult, in this context, wanted to ask you what are the options I have at this stage in terms of executive mba degree, if you can list out some options
What you're aiming for would be a big career change involving a change of the domain and designation. In such situations, an Executive MBA (assuming you're using the terminology correctly) is generally not very effective, though we've seen exceptions. Also, keep in mind that product managers in tech can still benefit from a thorough understanding of how the underlying technology can be leveraged. This is an area that management programs cannot help with. One low-risk approach to explore would be to check for roles within your current organisation to get some hands-on experience in the field of AI or analytics. Have you already explored that route?
@@MBACrystalBall I want to tap on to prospective hiring managers through executive mba courses without living my job
So i know there are some programs are being offered by IITs, IIMs and ISB where they offer blended mode of education virtual plus weekend classrooms, if you can guide around which of the courses will be good as a general mba
EMBA programs generally don't offer placement support, as many students are sponsored by their employers. Check out our video on EMBA to get a better idea of the pros and cons. Our team doesn't help with online/blended programs, since the barriers to entry aren't that high for those - and that is among the reasons why they aren't as effective for career changers. But that's just our perception. Do check with current students to see if there any in their program who've managed the transition you're looking for.
Can you make a video about United nations and World bank??salary,pros & cons,work life etc
Thanks for the suggestion. The topic won't be relevant for this channel, but we've covered it on our other website. See if this helps: www.careerizma.com/blog/united-nations-un-jobs-in-india-for-freshers-and-experienced-professionals/
Hello, I am from Iran and I love your videos ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ 0:19
Hello !!
I want to persue MBA in finanace but i did my graduation in Bachelore of arts in geography. Am i eligible to apply for this course .if so what skills should i develop beforehand..i have work experiece in teaching geography in a school..
Should i give Gmat xam to get eligibility
MBA programs are open to graduates in all fields, so that's not going to be a deal-breaker. However, you do need to think about what else you bring to the table to make the most of the MBA experience. Do you have any skills that might show your potential as a finance professional?
Can u help me in developing my skills ?
Which skills should I drvelop to take finance in mba
Other than learning about finance (have you taken up our free mini-MBA?), check out the ideas we have shared in our video on building a strong profile for MBA. Have you seen it?
@@MBACrystalBall ni but i will definetly check it
Hello sir
I'm currently doing my MBA second year under the specialization of HR and Marketing.
What can I do next to grow in my career?
Like doing some valuable certifications or to search a job
If it is certifications what it can be?
Ideally, if you've chosen your MBA college well, you shouldn't need any additional qualifications or certifications. Your MBA degree should be good enough to open up many doors, and you can focus on getting into the industry/company/role you like.
@@MBACrystalBallOk sir then what other skills or things I need to get updated in particular to keep myself unique from others.
A good way to find out what skills you need to polish would be to check out the job descriptions of your target roles, and figure out where you lack.
Thanks for your reply sir
Hello Sameer, is it possible for you to guide on the key difference between GMAT and GRE in terms of MBA admission acceptance by top universities and employment post MBA especially in finance or consulting?
Thanks in advance
GMAT was once the dominant player in the MBA space, but they've been losing ground to GRE quite rapidly. So bschools and employers don't insist on either nowadays. MBB has also dropped it as a filter, after COVID. Have you tried either/both? Which are you planning to go for?
@@MBACrystalBall Honestly I am confused between both as I am not sure of the Bschool acceptance and post employability.. thanks for the clarification.
Online search engine guides that GRE is more practical than GMAT. Is this true or a myth?
What do you mean by practical? Easy to crack, or more acceptable?
@@MBACrystalBall both
Both are acceptable. If you don't have a preference, GMAT is still the dominant test.
Best that you test out both and find out which feels more comfortable. Those who're strong in quant prefer GMAT, others strong in verbal prefer GRE.
@sameer-kamat
I'm looking for needful information around masters degree (primarily MBA or MS?
I'm an IT professional with 12 years of experience working with few Tech Giants.
My wife got H1B visa opportunity and planning to travel in next 3,4 months. I'm accompanying her as H4 dependent visa.
Now, I'm planning to do masters degree (MBA).
I would like to know, if I would be eligible for any top B-schools admit? If so, what Universities I might be eligible for with the experience I hold.
If the eligibility chances are high for Big B schools, I would like to enroll for consulting program with MBA Crystal Ball.
Appreciate your response.
A few things to start thinking about if you haven't already done so.
- What is the reason you want to go for an MBA (or MS)? If it's purely to be in the US, that may end up as a very expensive vacation.
- Where (state/city) do you want to do it? If you want to be with (or close to) you wife, then your options will be limited to the programs around in the vicinity.
- For most US MBA programs, you'll be an outlier. Lower ranking programs will be more flexible on the age and experience front.
- Are you in a position to apply immediately? Do you have a GMAT/GRE score? If not, you'll miss this application season, which means you'd be able to go only in 2025 when your program starts.
@@MBACrystalBall Basically, I thought of doing a Masters in Management program in a decent university where I can avail OPT, CPT options so that I can get work permit.
Later, I started thinking to secure a good MBA admit (having my age & Exp in mind) in a good or promising university where I can land with a job in the field currently I'm working in i.e. Project Manager/Consultant roles with handsome package.
Considering my age 34 & Exp 12 years, if I can get 700-720 GMAT score, will I be eligible for scholarship or any other format where I can reduce my college fee?
I can be flexible to move to Corresponding state based on the admit.
Any chances? I want to discuss with someone from MBA crystal ball about this.
The odds of getting a scholarship will again depend on the league of programs you apply to. The top tier ones would be tough to crack. So make sure you choose your programs well.
Send us an email after you've completed your independent research and have a plan to start working on the applications.
@@MBACrystalBall Thank you! I'll send an email as prescribed.
Hello team,
I would like your opinion on Masters in International Business in USA. I am a 26 year old female. I am looking for a one year masters program not necessarily from a job point of view. I have completed my MBA from a local university in Rajasthan in 2021 and after that I was preparing for UPSC.
I would like some genuine guidance in this matter, if at all there is any hope of finding a suitable program or is it too late. Looking forward to hearing from you.
If getting a job isn't on your mind, what is the primary reason for considering a masters when you already have an MBA?
There are several reasons
1. I have at least a year and half before joining or resuming my business, so I don't wish to waste it.
2. If I have to stay in the job market I would like to enhance my resume with this program as my MBA doesn't do that. Actually I am not specific about MIB as such, I am looking for a 1 yr suitable program.
3. There are other reasons too which I would be able to better explain either on mail or somewhere else, kindly share the details as the one on website was not valid.
For (non-MBA) masters programs, we can only help with application (SoP/resume/recos) review and not with program/university selection or any other general support. But here's something to think about. If you go for a random degree without having a strong gameplan, it'll end up like your MBA degree. You'll add an entry to your resume, but it won't mean much. Are you planning to join your family business? Which field is it in?
Also curious to know why you say the email details on the website aren't valid. We get many emails every day to that account. Which ID did you send it to?
SIR WOULD YOU RECOMMEND DOING UNDERGRADUATE MANAGEMENT COURSE FROM SABANCI UNIVERSITY OR BUSINESS ADMINISTRATION FROM ISTANBUL TECHNICAL UNIVERSITY? ITU has Double degree Business Administration with SUNY NEW PALTZ.... SIR PLEASE ANSWER...
Sorry, but we have not heard of this university. Which country are you from, and who recommended this university?
@@MBACrystalBall I'm from India.... I study in a local tier 3 college... These are Turkish universities. Sabanci University is in Turkey and I was told about it through a friend whose friend went to do MBA there.....
He said the undergraduate management program is quite strong. It's ranked in top 60 European business schools in financial Times.
Our recommendation is to pick a school that rings a bell for not just your friend's friend, but the general group of employers you plan to target. Turkey isn't a popular study destination for Indians. Which industry/country do you want to work in after the degree? Why aren't you considering working in India for a few years first after your current degree?
@@MBACrystalBall Well. That's a good question. It is the top business college in Turkey. I'm from a tier 3 college so the opportunities here seem very very limited.... I am hoping to work in Turkey after graduation for atleast 2-3 years. Since they have concentration areas in Management, I hope to take Finance as a concentration... Their Undergraduate management is 4 years. And from my very limited observation, it does seem that Student from their do get good job opportunities. They also have Erasmus exchange with European universities and private bilateral agreement with Boston University for exchange program in USA.
Got it. We have to admit, we know very little about opportunities in Turkey. The only thing we can suggest is to not rely purely on information available on the internet. Reach out to current students and alumni from India to find out the ground level details. Good luck with the decision!
I hear consulting & banking tend to have bad work life balance. Tech (product management) seems to offer comparatively better work life balance but I also hear for tech product management MBA isn't necessary.
That's true. Consulting and banking are notorious for their complete disregard for work life balance. Tech used to be way better, but now with the budget pressures and layoffs, the few who still have jobs are under increased pressure to perform and deliver. Companies think they've done a favour on the remaining employees, who now have to pay back without complaining. Have you seen that trend too (of increased work hours) in the tech sector?
@@MBACrystalBall I know that in some traditional industries, companies tend to not backfill the roles that are getting removed via lay off/restructuring. Causing increased pressure & workload on the remaining employees to do more (aka taking over the work of the laid off employees). I think it might be similar for tech companies (though I am not sure).
Tech companies doing mass layoffs have shut down complete business units that do not align with their long term vision (i.e. failing their revenue expectations).
@@MBACrystalBall good to know, thanks for sharing
Sir I am unable to understand. Sir just plz tell me which domain has better work life Balance. Weekend holiday, festival holidays, emergency holidays. Because I am only one who can take care of my parents and their health. I need to send time with them. Which specialisation can fill the requirements. 10 to 5 job specialisation in MBA .. plz tell sir
It's tough for any high-paying MBA job in the private sector to offer too much flexibility. Some government jobs may follow a 9-5 format. But the pay won't be high.
@@MBACrystalBall Sir what about finance domain ? I heard that it has better work life Balance. And you can do the work from home just by checking the emails ... Is it true or false .
Sir atleast plz tell which domain has near to less working hours and provide quality time to spend with family
You could consider entrepreneurship where you get complete control on when and how much you want to work.
Btw, we just published a new video on the high-paying jobs in finance. Those are the jobs to stay away from if you're looking for work-life balance. Here's the link: ruclips.net/video/vTeHKimt1BU/видео.html
@@MBACrystalBall so sir you are saying MBA in enterprineurship has the better work life Balance. Weekend holidays, festival holidays, emergency holidays. Because I am only the one who can take care of my parents. They are getting old. I want to take care of them. For that purpose which specialisation in MBA can full fill this requirement of mine. If that specialisation has low salary, then it's okay for me. Just need better work life Balance job
You don't need an MBA to launch your own business. You can start something small and then scale it up based on your life priorities. If you go for an MBA, you'll have a big education loan to take care of first, before you can think of getting into entrepreneurship. And that loan repayment pressure will be there no matter which field you get into - finance, strategy, technology. Have you considered other options without an MBA?
You can post your response on our latest video (posted today), as that'll help with the engagement. Happy to carry on the conversation there.

Sir, My name is Dhiraj sah form nepal BBA 2nd semester student in Tribhuvan university how competitive is for Nepalese student to get enrolled into the top b school for MBA
Assuming - good GMAT score
And after 2 years of work experience
And then applying!
Nepalese students are underrepresented in the top business school. We know of one who got into Wharton. But you'll need to be patient and build your profile first. 2 years of experience will be low. Do students from your college get good jobs? Where do alumni work?
@@MBACrystalBall what is the required work experience for top b schools in USA
.alumni of my college mostly goes to banks! And one more question after MBA from USA can Nepali student get green card easily or settle there!
Aslo sir Specially for Nepali student
MBA in usa after BBA in Nepal is priority for admission
Or MBA in USA after IT in Nepal is priority
For admission
We're not experts in immigration, but we do know that getting a green card is not easy at all for anyone nowadays. The specialisation you choose should be driven by which career you want to get into. Others cannot tell you want you need to do. It'll require you to do your own research and choose career goals accordingly. Which banks do your seniors work for?
Hey Sameer can one do mba or mim as fresher abroad

@@MBACrystalBall I’ve done BBA and roles I’m getting on my skills and degree in the job market are pretty much not what I’m looking to pursue my career into so I’m planning for mba but I’ve heard mba requires good amount of work experience so considering pgp
You're right. Indian 2-year PGP programs would be a better fit than an international MBA. Some choose an MiM too, if they're looking for international opportunities. But getting a job abroad can be challenging too, when you don't have any work experience. Do you know any MiM grads who're working abroad?
