New Wanderer looking to settle down :D

Hey All,

I want to take this chance to introduce myself. I have been going through these forums for a while now and have just decided to join and post my first post. I'm here to because being honest, I'm trying to break out of a boring technical sales job into finance or management consultancy. Unfortunately, I have had other life things that delayed things and financially made this move hard. Now I'm at a point where I'm studying for GMAT and trying to get to top schools (hopefully with scholarships) and will be on my way to break into finance within the next 2-3 years. I bet you'll see me around asking the usual (am I too old, or engineering to finance/IB questions) !

Anyways, maybe one day I'll be around answering these questions instead of asking them...
