Even i had gone through a similar situation recently... While reading all the comments here, I felt i am quite familiar with them. May be becasue, this is what everyone has to say to someone who is at a juncture like you an me were. All the best for your future. NoeL Hi manas,

From what you have written I get the feeling that you love what you do pretty much. So keep doing it. When you come to a point requiring a career shift or a progression into managerial roles, you can do a MBA. The problem here is that you had a call from IIM-B. Had it been from a lesser popular institute your choice should not have been difficult. So all the best for your decision. May the force be with you. One point tho', why did you write CAT in the first place, without envisioning your expectations clearly? If you had done so, maybe you could have even got A since your focus may have been greater. Anyway my suggestion comes quite late, when everything is over - but it may help you in future. Hey Manas,

May be we meet on the crossroads of the dreams someday. Regards, Amrit Hey Man!!!!

Also I disagree with you on thing about the "bigger dream than to the first line of code in a Microsoft product". Personally I would always want stuff made by me with the stamp of foniars on it, only; that would be the biggest dream..even if no one wants it; that would be for be only. If people like it good; if not does not matter. I still would be happy. But then all that is my perception. you are not ready for an MBA.. hence it is a correct decision you have made.
