I think it will depend on what industry you're in, what position you hold and exactly what you've done while there to determine whether you'd be considered "experienced" or not.
Most likely one year of work experience in a position that is NOT either investment banking or mgt consulting would not give you much of an edge at all.
Need more info to really comment though. |

Hi,
I went to a public institution (top-20) and got a 3.1 in mechanical engineering. Got a 690 GMAT and have worked for 3 years in a San Francisco Tech Firm. I will go get an MBA at a 2nd tier public school and will do well I believe. Is my GPA going to stop me from getting interviews at Consulting firms when I graduate in 2006? How about the top Strat firms? Thanks for your advice all!
Best Regards
