Thanks mahip..
A much needed thread which helps aspirants like me focus on hidden oppurtunities till we prepare to reachthere following correct path..thanks all..

It is requested if every1 can add by writing :
1)Background of edcuation

2).Specialisation branch & Combo in Bschool( eg..Some take Finance and strategy , some Finance & marketing-----it can help us think what area we should specialise where we are suited..)

3) ALSO Importantly.. where they did here summers and also if they liked to do summers in differnt sector but couldnt do becaz they liked prior education in particular field..like IT background ppl if wana switch to FINANCE -are not able to as they dont have education background,Workexperince and CERTIFICATIOn..
It would be great if in such cases which u may have seen through in ur respective bschools as CASES..so u all could suggest us what could have been done alongside with education,workex etc to get oneself in those area.. say4eg if an IT guy do some NCFM certiciation+CFA levels etc so can that help us considered for the respective crieterias in fiance and how long..

Please note: if wishing to add important carrier advice/TIP/eg CERTIFICATION (if required) and they missed doing it in ther journey alongside with their preps and was much needed in summers/Placemnets interviews or they felt if that could be done would have put them into the desired sector so that way.. ..it would be great..

all striked me when i looked the thread and was searching for my answer..so raised this query as question....as one of my friend joined bschool to shift IT to finance..but couldnt get summers in banking..and he got summers in Consulting..so he was not happy with that...though it was worlds best consulting firm.... so he told me if few things had done simultaneously he would have been in better position to get into desired sector..so PROFILE/LUCK lacked the oppurtunity..


******All above points could help us read in as example sets which we are going to follow as true story****** and can dream of then writing our own true story one day in this thread on the "D" day-"Differently ....*********

Thanks,
Abhishek

CTC [optional] Slightly less than the avg salaries the B-schools are quoting this year.

How is it different from a job as just a graduate? Does not involve anything technical. No coding etc. Lots of MS Office use though. Never worked as a graduate so will not know much. But definitely more respect within the organization and exposure to whats happening at slightly higher level

In my team, doing similar work as mine are guys from:

1- IIM Calcutta 2005 batch
2- IIM Lucknow 2007 batch
3- IIT Delhi 2007 batch

The profiles are absolutely same. Starting salaries were same. The only delta that may have come is due to the performance and seniority.

[priyambhi]

let me introduce myself.. i m MBA from Symbiosis Institue of International business in finance... i have got through this company from campus n they promised me international profile but after spending sometime in the company i have realised that the company sucks and at the same time they are giving me marcom work like just updating the website. is a very disgusting work. i just have to copy paste in the excel without thinking n knowing anything. i wanted to leave the company asap cause no one has work over here. even ppl being here for some are sitting ideal... i trying jobs through jobs website but nohing is working out.. what are the possiblities for the MBA finance Fresher to get a job if i leave the company ...

here we go dude
tats what it is all about

mba people very rarely get finance jobs except from iim/xlri/fms etc

even if a mba (fin) will get job it will be this ko kinda work only co mba doesnt teach u finance does it?
can u even make p&l a/c, b/s properly

finance work is still handled by CA/CS/ICWA/CFA .Mba just dont have any knowledge of finance yaar. u need perfection in finance

high time people realise it

mba is eant for marekting and these so called fin jobs mba get r clerical only

@wsw

My friend did get Credit Analysis at DCB through PUMBA.

What kind of work you talking about?

And yes more often than not good profiles are hard to come by.

Cheers.

[ph@ntomlord]

hmm..

@WSW I do agree with ya upto an extent...that IIM's/XL/FMS guys get the best fin profiles available (Companies as well)

But thr are good profiles available outside thr scope as well..Eg companie who have realised they dont get a good slot at these places are looking out towards some other colleges...eg..Deloitte, PWC etc etc

and dont forget banks like SBI..HDFC...etc who offer good profiles(Treasury, risk....Investments, Valuations etc etc)..

So its not the end of the world if you get into IIMS...thr is a good fin career ahead of you from an above average institution..

cheers
