I have posted here a couple of times before and have narrowed it down to 2 things- I see myself working in either strategic consulting or business analytics. I am not capable of getting into the top schools due to my low grades hence i will be aiming for the schools that i can get into realistically.
I have less than a year of work experience but by the time the semester starts next year, I would have worked for more than 15 months for the strategy team of a luxury brand. Previous internships include a stint at an insurance firm in italy. As mentioned earlier, i am a graduate of bocconi university but am currently working in India.
I dont think that i have the time for the GMAT as i work till late on Saturdays too. Apart from that, I dont think i can do well on the GMAT and could get a score of around 600 which would leave me with average or low tier schools anyway.
I dont see myself working in india in the future, hence wanted to go in for a masters in either Canada or Europe. Judging from my offer letters last year, i could get into the following universities for my masters-
1) Nova SBE (masters in management)
2) UC3M (masters in finance)
3) HEC Lausanne (masters in management with a data analytics major)
4) Maynooth University (masters in data science)
5) maybe TCD or UCD for a masters in management
I wanted to know if any of these courses are worth pursuing or will i definitely have to return to India after my graduation. I have read the articles given on the website and know that since i am not fluent in any of the languages, i will find it hard to secure a job but i have seen many people doing so, especially after a masters. What are your opinions? Please dont tell me to apply to LBS or HEC Paris. I dont have the grades for those schools.
I am getting no direction anywhere. Should i go in for a masters in management? Any advice from Duncan or experienced users?

Given the language barrier, Ireland and Canada seem like good options.

UCD seems to be better for international mobility.
For strategic consulting, I think you should get a bit more experience, a good gmat, and apply to top MBAs in 3-4 years.
For Business Analyst, maybe also consider a Business Analytics degree?

The time investment preparing for the GMAT would pay off exponentially in the long-term.
