alexbr4 Verified User. Likes Earned: 1693 You have a good combination of strong numbers and interesting work experience. It will be really important to execute well on your applications, and get your applications submitted for the first rounds. Do you know other MBA applicants/students/alums who can provide feedback on essays etc? "Product development at Tech companies" is quite a popularpost mba goal, I'm assuming this relates well with work you've undertaken so far? What's your long term goal? (1)

grichmond Verified User. Likes Earned: 1304 I agree that the numbers seem solid and that your work experience, while somewhat varied in nature, is an overall strength. My main concern is going to be your ability to convince the adcom of your career transition from oil & gas/government roles into major tech; and to land a job in the West (in light of visa constraints for some markets). In short, you'd have an easier path if you could showcase energy sector expertise and goals in that domain as your ticket into the US, Canadian, or EU markets...
