I created this thread to discuss about possible market niches, and not to discuss about me

if you want to discuss about me, pls start a new thread entitled "What do you think of wahkao? Do you think he is worth less than 4k?", and we will discuss there ok?

Everyone out there also hopes to find a job that pays well, and they get motivated by its prospects. Our capitalistic society is build on this fundamental in the very first place. Even the private sector companies you work for, have this profit$ driven mentality.

I stay true and firm to this mentality because I find absolutely nothing wrong with it. Rather than trying to hide this, I will embrace it, and let it motivate me to success.

Likewise for the company? Their investment has to pay off? No company would want to pay you well unless if you're actually worth it in the first place?

Except that no one was discussing about you. They were just calling you out. You can't even tell the difference?

i think around 540

its priv uni, ranked around 150 type.
I got to agree with some of the comments here that to certain extend its a waste of money. Only good for boosting my ego and putting it on name card.

My intention is to genuinely use my chao engineering experience,communication skills and work my way towards these niches. Use the MBA as a plus

It helps that I am shooting at the right niches where they value the combination of engineering+MBA more. So right now I am exploring them.

These are the ones I shortlisted
- corporate strategy for engineering company
- business leader, technical business
- marketing for technical products
- M&A in the tech space

Wow, 540 is like about 50th percentile or even less. That means, even something like entering one of the popular course in a poly is more difficult than getting accepted for your MBA studies.

its a priv school
its a well known fact that for priv school, anyone with moola can join.

the GMAT is just for show.

I am not counting on the MBA to secure the job. I dont think I can either.

I am counting on the MBA as a ticket to interview. I am counting on the MBA to be enough for the HR not to throw my resume away within 5 seconds and call me down for interview. Quite ironic that I pay tons of money so that the HR will read my resume more than 5 seconds.


And jobs with "MBA preferred" or "MBA desirable" are the ones HR will more likely give me that interview. I looked around the jobs posting and saw those 4 jobs with engineering + MBA preferred/desirable.

The question is, Are there Any more out there? What are the ones I missed?

But, you don't have an MBA. What you have is a cert that a money making institution label as an MBA. You're not going to be competitive candidate against those who have real MBAs.
