Dear All,
I am Architect based out of India, and have an experience of over 10 years in the Industry. Since the last 6 years, I have lead the Design Teams of 2-3 different Delhi based firms which have a solid presence in the industry and are multiple award winning Architectural Firms. I have also been responsible for Marketing & Business development works for these Architectural Studios.
Now, at this stage I have realized my core strengths as Marketing & Design (in that order). I thought to apply to a couple of firms to join in their marketing team, but since industry standards are such that they wouldn't take interest in my profile if I don't have an MBA. I tried giving GMAT after a two month preparation, and sadly, barely scored a respectable score and fell at 480. Thus, I need some guidance, whether should i still try and prepare much harder for GMAT, score higher, and apply to MBA Programs, or is there a way I can bypass the GMAT thing?
