Career advice required

Hi! I’m in a huge dilemma and looking out for any advice I can get. I currently have 1.5 years of work ex and want to pursue MBA. Im confused if I should complete 2 years of work ex and then quit to do full time mba prep or quit right away to do prep. My quant is weak so I will need a lot of practice to crack CAT. 2 year criteria comes in so that I can keep options like ISB open as it requires a minimum of 2 year work ex. Any advice would be highly appreciated!

If this is your first attempt, then don't quit your job at any cost. Prepare for the CAT exam while continuing with your job. CAT is an unpredictable exam, and continuing with your job can be beneficial for your composite score calculation. Work experience earns you more points, and there is an upper limit to the amount of work experience considered. If you have made your decision to quit then complete 2 years and then quit your job.
