Will I be Accepted if so is it worth?

The story of a boredtechy

Finished my Undergrad EE from a no-named Indian school GPA 3:8 (ranked second)
Again M.S. EE (Research focus) with 3.9 GPA. ( full ride + assisantship). Published couple of quant heavy journals.

Worked for a medium sized company as a techy for 5 yrs ( got promoted twice) -Enjoyed my work.

Earnings started at 70k and grew to 80 k. Was working 50 hrs on an avg. Had a good work life balance.

Moved to a Chip Giant in West Coast. Higher pay, but requires little/no use of my brains. I feel dumb.

Now definitely no room to progress any further. Hvae all the time on earth.

Currently Make 100K + plus awesome benefits ( health care taken care of ) and as fortune 500 tech company i get about 20k in stocks.

Annual increments 1.5% ( I don't blame em because my role sucks)

I don't expect this job to last longer. Trust me a high schooler can do this job and i fear when a recession hits ill go.

During this process also i am venture investor.

Now, I'm 30 , with MS EE+7 yrs experience looking to head to B school so now the following questions.

1) Am i really old for a b school
2) looking to move into equity research/high tech consulting roles after b school.
3) Can i move into 2) without a b school.
4) If i cannot move into new roles, is a one year b school good enough.

5) Being a tech company siad it would pay for part time JD if i wanted to become a patent lawyer.
6) Can i use my JD to move into business /finance?

I love how half the post was irrelevant. What's your GMAT? Do you have good references? No one cares about your quant heavy journal publications when you're 30 -- it's almost a given that had some academic accomplishments but it says nothing about leadership, and so on.

Answering your questions in descending order: You're never too old to go to b school. Why? No. No. Cool. No.

 

Given that an MBA is partially set up for career changers, you should've that covered.

I'm talking about liquid. Rich enough to have your own jet. Rich enough not to waste time. Fifty, a hundred million dollars, buddy. A player. Or nothing. See my Blog & AMA
