Just posting it here so that others can also get the answer if they have similar question.

Possible career choices that you can look into after an MBA:

1. Venture Capital
2. Private Equity
3. Brand Management
4. Project Management at an Engineering firm

Management Consulting is a great career path. Bain, McKinsey, and BCG are very prestigious; at the same time, they are very competitive and difficult to enter.

I-Banking pays a lot of money, but they’ll work you into the ground. After banking though, you can pretty much go anywhere.

Good luck!

I been working as a electronics, mechanical engineering consultant in Indian aerospace and defense sector for 2.5 years. I dont really do deals, or selling as i been reading what a typical mba consultant does, but more of core responsibilities like performing the analysis on the aerospace, defense products, equipment, gathering data and creating reports which will be used by the designer to improve the product.

I am planning on taking up mba “to get more pay and better position”.

I have clearly no idea of how the consulting thing works in big companies as i have been reading everywhere like Bain, Boston Consultancy, Mckensey are big in consulting. But clearly dont have an idea of the inner workings.

But i travel a lot, 80% of the work is at client site for like 2 weeks or sometimes if its a really large project.

I also worked on software for data management, creating client websites using Oracle, asp.net for almost 1 year after doing my Masters.

I have been reading that in IB you need to do quite a lot of 100hr/week work, which really i believe i am not cut out for it as i get fed up sitting at the same place for so much time. But it pays a lot of money.

I feel consulting is better compared to it as it involves movement, not a stagnant job, you get to travel to places, meet people, even though as a consultant you might be forgotten quite soon.
But it pays less comparatively.

I dont really want to work in a software industry i.e. in a hi tech/internet company.

I am only aware that in mba or even after you complete it you have 2 main option everybody opts Investment Banking, Consulting.

Your absolutely right, we cannot know what our future holds but making a planned decision is better than none.

So i was hoping, if you could be kind enough to let me know what are the addition fields that we can opt while studying mba or after compelting mba.

It would also be great if you could probably put this information in your blog so that many people, who come across and read your blog would get valuable insight.

I found your blog through http://www.managementconsulted.com

Thanks and carry on with your good work.

Really weird but I was reading an article on a consulting website when I saw a link to this article. Small world. Nice thoughts. = )
