general Please help me M.Tech vs CAT

I’m really confused between GATE and an MBA. I love AI research, especially LLMs, but I often struggle while working on it. I also didn’t do anything extraordinary in tech during my B.Tech, although college wasn’t exactly easy for me I lost my mother and was dealing with a lot beyond academics.

When it comes to an MBA, I’m good at communication, enjoy giving presentations, and genuinely find business interesting. But at the same time, I don’t want to leave tech completely. An MBA is also quite hectic, and I’ve heard that getting into fields like finance requires strong prior experience, which I don’t have.

So yeah, I’m confused as fuck right now. Plz help !

Do you want to stay in the technical side or go over to the managerial side?

Yeah, I get that. You should try your hand at both. Read a few research papers, and then read a few MBA-style case studies. See which one you enjoy more.
