Hi Abhishek,
// compliments for the good job you are doing.
Thou art being too kind sire.
// Age: 27
GMAT: 760(Q50 V44 AWA awaited)
CFA: Passed first two levels in first attempt, should pass the 3rd level in June.
Good. But wondering why you chose this certification when you were not interested in finance. Also, wondering how this could be positioned as something that takes you towards your post MBA goals.
// M.S. in Computer Networks and Mathematics from one of Italy's best technical universities
The Italian connection has worked well for several Indians. Hope it does for you too.
But I'm still curious to know why you chose Italy instead of the usual Mecca for MS education - US?
// 3.5 years in an advanced R&D team of a leading semiconductor company...Now moving to another division of the same company which will bring me closer to the business.
Great. I had started wondering if the pure R&D role would be a challenge, specially when you are thinking of moving into consulting. you've got roughly 5 months before the Round 1 application deadlines.
Hopefully, you'd be able to get up to speed in your new role and accomplish some nice stuff that'll make the Adcoms want you (pretty much like the illogical Axe commercials)
//Career goal is to shift to management consulting post MBA...Could you give me a feedback if my profile and ambitions are clear and competitive enough for a top B-School.
Profile clear. Ambitions clear. Only hitch is how to connect the two. Over the next few months, once you've picked up business skills, hopefully this answer will become clearer.
