Profile Review for MBA

Hi Everyone,

Hope you all are doing well. So, I wanted an opinion on my profile and some schools that I can target with my current profile in Europe. I am yet to give GMAT FE , but based on mocks I feel I can get a 645+.

Currently I am working as an Analyst in Deloitte (India Offices of US). I am presently having work experience of 2 years. So by the time I apply and go for MBA I would be having 3+ years of experience. Part of the Enterprise Operations as a Service unit which comes under the Enterprise Performance vertical. Working in their SAP division. My day-to-day activities involve coding programs as per the business/client requirements, discussing functional requirements with the client , leading team meetings, working on technical documentations.

The reason for applying to the MBA course is to transition from a Technological Consulting to more of a strategic/management consulting type of roles as well open to operation and finance roles and also get a chance to move to Europe to experience the diverse culture and a rich business environment that aligns with my career aspirations.
