Dear all, I have been working as a Technical Executive in a PSU for the last 6 years. Although I receive good pay and other benefits, I find the working culture in my company to be hopeless, full of red tape, and lacking respect for individual intelligence. As such, I feel the urge to leave the organization and start fresh. I have a strong academic record and I am interested in pursuing an MBA from a recognized institute. I am currently preparing for it. However, I am now 30 years old and I fear that my age may hinder my chances of being preferred.
Seeking Advice on Pursuing an MBA
Dear Cite HR members, can you kindly suggest or comment on the following:
1. Should I pursue an MBA course, considering my age?
2. Is preference given to younger candidates over those with 5 years of work experience in the selection process for a firm?
Thank you in advance.

You are 30, my dear, not 50. I did not know how you came to think that you are too old to pursue your MBA. In my opinion, you are in a good position because you are not only 30 years old but also have 6 years of experience. It is the right time to enroll in an MBA program, but one thing I'd like to recommend is not to start as a fresher and not to leave your job immediately. Instead, consider enrolling in the MBA program, complete your first year, and then search for a job with this credential in hand. Always consider switching jobs only after you have been offered another one.
Best Wishes,
Have A Nice Career,
