even i hav had this dbt for quite sumtime now
is it realistically possible for people with considerable work-ex(maybe even 2+) to shift to IB/Consulting roles(ofcourse assuming they manage to be in the top 10/20) - r there lateral recruitments in the above areas if a guy has significant yrs of IT experience
i find a lot many infy/wipro guys in this forum going back to their old firms for summers/jobs - i know pay is not the only criteria - but frankly speaking is there any considerable increase in their pay(for ex. a guy already drawing around 6) - ofcourse role & the type of work is the main key - but what i mean is wud such systems recruiters coming to bschools be open minded enugh to pay as per the guy's standards or do these so called standard co.s have a standard pay packet irrespective of their profile(in this case i'm talking only abt sysytems co.s like wipro/infy/ibm,etc)!
i'm looking at a bschool mainly for the learnings + brand name too and ofcourse change in work profile - so i'm just curious to know the difference in profile of these guys in infy(just 'cos they r the primary systems recruiter i know of in many bschools) - i'm sure guys working there already wud be knowing some of these business analysts working in their team/company - might hav been a source of motivation too

if existing developers too say after a few yrs of experience hav the same option of becoming a business analyst/project manager or whatever is the name of the post that one gets after the pgdbm during the placements, then what stands these bschool guys apart - ihav heard a lot abt the long run career path & ofcourse faster way towards the top stuff. but in reality do u guys hav any short term

examples of a guy after an mba(ofcourse an experienced guy) getting back to the same firm at a higher level than what he wud hav been if he had shifted from a techie to busines analyst path. Yeah - again ofcourse assuming that teh guy is really good and puts in effort at bschool & not just 'cos he passed out from a good bschool - working hard shud be the motto anyday and i'm talking abt such guys only !
wud really be useful if someone - current/past students/alumni/bschool aspirants/developers/anybody cud provide info on these
thanks
