Hi there,
thank you for your question. There are several paths that you could pursuit from here.
(1) What's the MIB student portfolio?
You mentioned that you have "good analytical and problem solving skills". That's great. But you do not have strong academic business knowledge, right? In that case, a Master in Management or Business makes sense (provided that you need such knowledge for your carere plans). Now, I recommend you to ask the school or find the information on its website who you will be studying with you - where, for instance, do the other students come from? The school should have statistics on previous classes that you can analyze. How diverse is the class? Which academic backgrounds do the students have? Which nationalities are represented? This could give you a first signal about the learning level. For example, if the class includes primarily people with a backround in humanities it may start on a more basic level than with students who have a business or economics background.(2) Job prospects
You asked about your job prospects. A good advise is to ask the school's career office or find the information online about: Which companies come to campus and recruit? Which industries? Which jobs? From which countries? Secondly, you can also ask about the placement statistics (e.g. how many percent got a job within 3 months after graduating).(3) Master of Business Administration (MBA) as alternative?
Finally, I recommend you to consider doing an MBA instead of a MIM. You already have work experience and even team leadership experience. WIth this you are the perfect candidate for an MBA. The MIM or MIB, instead, is rather for graduates who want to start a career. Please have a look at our article on the differences between MIM and MBA.Best wishes
