Plisss help. Dua milegi

I am moving from a mass Indian IT firm - have 8 years of experience in IT Sales, etc - to a non profit- focussed on Entrepreneurship & Incubation in rural India for Research Manager. They have been granted funds from the likes of Tata, Gates, Premji foundation, etc. i have another offer from a German Automaker for a Partnerships Manager

I am optimising for a profile to apply to MBA schools in the US. What will be a better choice - focussing only on B-schools. Money isnt a concern-the German major obviously pays better.

Tldr: Have two job offers - one from non profit and another from a German Major. Which will be better to build a profile for a MBA in US.

I am 30years, if age is matters.

International experience sounds better, it'll diversify your profile Btw how did you land the German offer?

Okay the German Automaker is setting up a Centre in India. So its still India. I thought that a non profit will be better because diverse experience.

Just based on the "ecosystem" funded not-for-profit, if you get the right letter of recommendation - it may have more weight.

The German Auto role is a middling role. Nothing distinctive about it.

True that my OG thought.

The German automaker’s role seemed okayish, though they are paying more.

But your criteria is building body if work for buttressing your profile. In that the not-for-profit works best.

MBA applications have a huge “story-telling” component, a deal breaker many times. Try thinking from this perspective, “Which role will give you more story-telling points?”. Plus, you should think MBA as part of that grand story and how it will help.

@PrizeTheft20 to add and help u quantify this. Evaluate both opportunities for parameters like:

International experience (German partner in person meets?), scale of work, challenges presented, complexity, why you specifically took this job for what outcome in your career direction... will it tie into your MBA story, etc
