Subject: Phd/Industry?
Date: 15-Feb-2008
Question: Having an electrical engineering Bachelor degree presently working in Software field since 2 yrs.

I am very much confused whether I should stay in industry (doing MBA...) or go for higher studies (MTech, Phd...). I love R&D type of work but team work, challenges, dynamic nature of industry attract me very much.

For this dilemma, neither I am concentrating on my job nor preparing for entrance of masters.

Please help.

Answer: You are certainly undergoing the dilemma of whether to choose from R&D and be a hardcore researcher or get into the managerial situation where you have hold on team and have a different set of challenges to face. It would be good if you could do MBA-IT and get the work culture that you are looking for and at the same time try out on new projects which would give you the challenges.

Hope that helps.
