Got a reject mail from JBS today. It was disappointing. JBS was my dream school for various reasons, and now it remains a dream.
They didnot even give a feedback. Just a simple reject.
When I retrospect, I find various possible reasons for this decision:
1. Quality of work ex - They do take people with lesser experience, but the quality of exp has to be top class. I have 6 years of exp with worlds largest enterprise software company, but not as a manager, pre-sales, lead . I am a simple developer, and so might have fallen into a big pool of applicants.
2. International Exp - I was thinking of ignoring this fact. But now I am sure this matters a lot. A UK experience defintely gives you an edge. I have none.
3. Quality of application - I was truthful to whatever I wrote in my apps. I glorified to whatever extent I could keeping my integrity. But I think it didnt sell.
Where do we go now ?
From here, I have only 2 choices. First to improve my profile, try to get better job profile in the next 2-3 years, get an international exp and then apply for an MBA. Second, keep trying in other b schools this year, and hope someone is interested in your kind of profile.
I have decided to take the second option. Will apply to a few more this season and if I still do not get through, will have a serious look at changing my job profile.
Till then, may the force be with you.
