Hi guys. I have completed C.A. and am presently preparing for C.F.A. (Int.) Level2 Exam.

I have 3 years of good article-ship experience and no post qualification experience.

I am planning for MBA from some reputed B school.

But I am really confused as to "Is it worth for Me to go for MBA at this stage taking into consideration the opportunity cost as well as the work experience sacrificed during the two years or is it better if I take up some suitable job ???? (because after the two yrs MBA I'll still be treated as a fresher as against my friends who'd have gained two yrs of Work-Ex)???"

Also all good B-schools with 1yr program require couple of yrs work-ex. I think it wud be diff. for me to do it 2 yrs l8r once I start working.

Please Advice.

Also pl suggest the B-schools I should look at!

imo, CA + CFA is more than enough actually. However, if you want an MBA from a top B-School, that is also a great addition to ur already existing professional qualifications. What I would suggest is you find a job now and get experience based on yr existing qualifications and aft that try for an Executive MBA...which is normally a 30 month part-time course but very extensive and corporate related....

Raja, Yes once you complete CA you will be definitely eligible for top B-school entrance exams such as the CAT. You can check the website for the exams for the eligibility criteria for sureness.
