Folks! I am in a dilemma. I am preparing for GMAT and will be giving it sometime in the next year. But I am really scared with asking for recommendations :(
As I am in the IT sector,so far,most of my managers have been assholes 🥺🥺 They might not even agree to write me a recommendation letter as they will fear that I will leave the organization.
In this case, how do I ask for one? Is there any Indian B-School that do not require recommendation letters for their 1 yr mba courses?

You might be surprised that most managers (even the ones you think are assholes) will be happy to write recommendation unless you are asshole.

Every manager knows that the person would leave one day either for higher studies or better job elsewhere. Most don't take things personally and are actually happy to see their juniors grow which also makes their network strong.

Tip: tell them before submitting their email ID on portal so they are not shocked. Also you can help them fill recommendation form by sharing small writeup highlighting your achievements on work you did under their supervision
