I'm 35 and working at a Telecom company in my country. I also have a local MBA. So the question is: why another MBA now? The answer is very simple: I graduated from university in 1995 (Industrial Engineering) and my goal was always to build a strong career in my country and then jump to a foreign job, I mean my goal was to become an international top-executive. Previous steps in this way were:
* get a job in a multinational company,
* develop a strong career within that company,
* build some strong relations with important executives (bosses)
* strengthen my strengths and overcome my weaknesses,
* keep studying in order to be updated with state-of-the-art knowledge,
* take a short international course as a way to prove my abilities in a multicultural context
* improve my fluency in English
* develop some personal hobbies and projects to pour some fun into my life.
Finally I'm here, all these steps done and one additional benefit that came along: many years of experience. I think now I'm eager to become an international executive. Maybe I took so long, according to the age of most MBA bloggers. However, I think applying for a MBA it's not a matter of age or even experience, it's a matter of readiness. And this is my time, that's why I started the process just a few months ago.
As a matter of fact, I'm not just starting right now. However, I will write some others posts describing my way to this point from the time I knew it was time to start applying.
