Hello,

I am currently in my last semester at Iqra university and doing BS CS with majors in software engineering with a CGPA of 3.3/4.  Although I love this field, i would like a mangerial role in my career like a project manager or senior project manager. I have talked with executives and they say that an MBA degree is required. The query is that which specialization field should i choose when applying for an MBA degree? I was thinking of Management, Marketing or MIS but i need your opinion. I want to select a field that works best with BS CS..Thank You

Thanks

Dear Sir,

This is Mansoor Lakhany here from Karachi. I’ve almost 2.5 years of job experience and I did my MBA (Finance) from the Bahria University in the year 2005.

Lots of students are getting good and satisfactory responses from the members of this forum, therefore, I also decided to ask or get some advice on one confusion puzzle:) ?

I’ve applied for the MBA in some of the good UK universities. By the grace of Allah, I’ve got an offer from Londonmet (London Metropolitan University) for the MBA and an offer for MA in Finance and Investment from the Nottingham University Business School. I also have an offer for MSc in Finance from NewCastle University Business School. I’m confused now, what to do?

I’ve an only offer for MBA from Londonment. There are so many advices, some are saying that doing an MBA from Londonment is not that worthwile than doing an MA from Nottingham. Some says Newcastle is good for accomodation and all. I would like to know from your experiences that either Londonmet MBA is good as far the career prospects are concerned or MA from Nottingham is good? Or Msc from Newcastle is good?

Please compare them from your experiences or from your good exposure in the International phenomenon.

Takecare — Bye.

Hi,

Many people who have financial problem go to Sweden for masters as it is free of cost and there is no tuition fee.

Is it worth it? What are the future prospects with MBA from sweden?

Which universities are good?

My career path is as follows

- I have done my BS in Computer Software Engineering - 4 years degree from a reputed top Pakistani University. - GIKI. I am working for 1/2 an year as Software Engineer & Team Lead now at a Software house in Islamabad.

Team lead involves management as well, so i am thinking of pursuing MBA (probably MBA- IT) now along with job from NUST (as it’s close to my work place). I can do MS (CSE) as well from the same institution and pursue PHD. Later on and adopt teaching field as a career.

I am confused between the two. An year back I was never ever considering MBA as an option but now in the industry i feel that MBA can give me a jump in the corporate ladder.

One reason of MBA is also that i don’t like my field very (truly speaking) and i am always thinking of plans of smooth shift to some other field without any harm to my career. Other one is that i don’t see large multinational companies in software field here in Pakistan. All we have at many places is some people having 5-6 computers in a room and start a company which get’s closed down in less than 2 years (that is the upper limit as well :P)

What do you think that i should go for? and where i will end up in these fields. Will appreciate your sincere comments… thanks.

I am planning to apply for an MBA from UK.

During my entire professional career, I have either worked for myself or for my family business. In that scenario, what/who is the best person to get the letter of recommendation from? I can manage the academic reference from my university but I am confused about the recommendation from work.

Thanks in advance.

I have just read the post regarding moving back to Pakistan, which provides a very good starting point. I’m in a similar position and have been thinking about the moving back to Pakistan for sometime.

The main driver for the move is coming back to my parents. I have a successful career here and am doing very well but just find that something is missing and would also like to contribute positively to Pakistan.

So i want my move to really work and am willing to give it all.

I graduated from the University of London and have been working in satellite communication for the last 5 years. I don’t know what Pakistan has to offer on that front so i am now thinking of starting something myself and also study when i get back to Pakistan.

I have decided on doing an MBA from LUMS to help diversify a bit and secondly ease myself back into the system as i have been away for quite a few years.

Is LUMS a good option to do my MBA from as i am planning to move back and stay there i don’t see the point in doing an MBA from the UK as the LUMS one is more tailored for Pakistan and has a very good reputation. Plus i might learn a bit about business as currently i work more on the technical side.

Or should i be thinking of doing an MBA from the UK and then come back? What should i do, i’m personally more inclined to go to LUMS as i can move sooner.

How should i approach this?

Thanks
Daanish
