Notes:

I'm graduated a couple months ago in B. Tech, Computer Science and Business Systems from a mid-range college in India with a final GPA of 8.98/10 (or 3.59/4.00). I graduated in the top 10% of my class.

I currently work as a software engineer with 6 months of full-time experience at a major US-based Telecommunications company. I also have an internship experience of 10 months at the same org.

I am very passionate about technology and have spent countless hours in preparing myself for a tech career as well as take up several volunteering and leadership roles to build tech communities for students, impacting over 6000+ students in my college life. I am extremely passionate about Diversity and Inclusion in tech as well. I had the privilege of being selected by orgs such as Google and GitHub who supported me in my extracurriculars/leadership roles. I have led clubs, communities and events spanning 1000s of students.

Besides that, I was the recipient of 2 of the prestigious scholarships awarded by Google. One was a 2-year Software Engineering fellowship sponsored by Google for the top female engineering students in India. The other was an award for demonstrating passion and leadership in the field of Computer Science.

I'm excited about building and leading the vision for tech products, so I would like to consider an MBA in 3-6 years. I would like to know about where I stand in terms of chances, and what I should do to build my profile, particularly at my new job. My goal is to accelerate my career to a product manager level. Any and all feedback is welcome! Thanks!
