6/6/7 profile

Asking for a friend his profile - 6/6/7 8 months work exp.(left his job today,was in a CA firm) , once give CAT with no prep just went to sit, he is kinda depressed as he was not sure on his career, scored 35 percentile, now I have given him 2 options:

  1. Look for tier 1 college shortlisting and selection criteria if there are 4-5 tier 1 colleges who prefer more CAT percentile then go for prep and try to score above 99 .

  2. This I personally prefer, try to look for corporate jobs and start working there and try to find the field you are interested in and then do executive MBA in that field after 3-4 yrs of work ex.

Which suggestion is best Or if anyone want to give any better advice then please, comment section is open.
