Some of the reasons why I want to do MBA
1. I want to be involved in the business of an organization. I want to understand how business decisions affect an organization and I want to be part of that. Being in the current role, it is difficult to gain the experience to this level. If I change company, I will be again put in the technical role. I will be managing team technically giving advise to them. I will not be able to gain the first hand experience about the business deals, strategy taken by an organization. I want to get the holistic view of the organization. I dont say being technical is bad, my view is that I have had enough of technical stuff. Now I want to grow and gain some business knowledge by being the part of the group who is involved in taking business decisions.
If I consider my career path, the options for me are:
a. Change the organization and apply for BA role - Why would an organization take me as BA if they already have many BA in market coming from MBA colleges. Moreover I dont have the experience of BA. To my support there are few points, one of them is my international experience and the interaction with business from client side. But an organization will always prefer a person with BA experience to hire as BA. This leaves a bleak chance to achieve my goal.
b. Look for the role of BA in my current organization: There is not much scope for BA in my organization.
c. Do MBA from an elite institute - This is the way I am following. I have to follow this path.
2. Need growth and challenges: My current profile is monotonous and I want to grow. There is not much scope of growth left if I follow the current growth path. Even if I move to another organization, my role will be team lead and then to Project Manager in a typical IT company. I am keen to be in position where I see business happening and taking part in that.
3. Looking for career change : I have had enough of this software. I might go for a career in finance. Or even if I join a software company I would love to try sales in software
