Making a career change with MBA -- Is it viable or not??? - 02-04-2007, 02:23 PM

Hi Guys,

Want some help from Alumnis as they are the one who have been through all this and many might have undergone the same what I am going to ask.

Anyone can put some light on switching careers with MBA as it is quiet a debatable issue. for example myself am an IT professionla with around 6 years of exp but still interested in i-banking so how do I go about it is it ok if I make a move or is it bad. How do I make a calculative move on this or should I do the MBA in IT itself in which also I can reap the same benefits. I would need the people who have been through all this to give out their view on the above. I am sure many of us would be undergoing the same dilemma and definitely I hope the exp. of some guys can help us gain some knowledge.

Further it would also help if we can compare the career options after doing MBA in the same field as your current profession or if you switch your fields and do your MBA in new field then what are the career options in that. How would you be received in the market and also specially related to me what would be the career options in I-banking how well would I do. I would ask some of the alumnis in banking sector to through some light onto this part of the thread that what will be the career options for a person like me with exp. in IT and now doing MBA in finance.

Thanks
Keep Blogging

Cheers

Stop asking same questions in all the post....


My 2-cents

MBA in IT and I-banking don't mix up unless you want to work in IT dept of I-banking firms....

CFA might provide you better option than MBA provided you complete all the three levels ...

for more info abt CFA, search forum
