I did BE in CS and MBA Systems . Now i got a job as business development executive in a good company .But My salary is very low (12K). My job is to prepare response to RFP.What you think about my growth prospects.Is this salary affect my future salaries and growth?

Yeah.. E-commerce is very good field to be in.. But it is in no way related to finance specialisation... On the other hand, sysyems knowledge will be very helpful...

hi,

I have certain queries in mind.

My background, I am a Bachelor of Instrumentation from Mumbai University, passout in year 2007. Currently holding experience of 4.5 years in IT as a Engineer. My current package is 5 LPA.
Appeared for CET this year & & surely am going to JBIMS. JBIMS have specializations in Systems, Finance, Marketing, Personal & Operations.

What would be the best specialization for me, looking at my education & experience?

Initially I had planned for Finance, but then later on analysis found out that, MBA in Finance, might nulify by huge 4.5 years of IT exp, during placements. So on further analysis I have narrowed down to Systems, which needs Domain as well as Tech know-how. So I have planned for opting Systems as MBA major in Second year.


Also I have read in here, Finance along with Systems, i.e. Dual Specialization in MBA have a great scope due to e-commerce spread everywhere. So if I opt for both, what do you think of my future prospects?

I would really appreciate if anyone can reply to these queries.

Thanks.

If you check the first few pages of this forum , Careers Post MBA have been well explained..

But just to explain you once

There are typically Functional Consultants or Technical Consultants

1)functional consultants : Do the analysis part , presales and sales part with the clients

2) Technical Consultants : Are involved in delivery and Implementation part of the business


E-Commerce is a different field , more to do with Data Analytics and Marketing rather than just finance or systems .. Systems knowledge may help you get basic knowledge but E-Commerce is not about IT .. Its a channel to reach customers to sell products eventually ..

However, can you please put some light on profiles & packages that can be provided for a guy like me with 4.5 years of IT exp? Also can you provide some idea of the life style of a Systems Manager? I dont want to be Project Manager, rather planning to become a Consultant.

Thanks Alot!!
just a few quick question...for a person who has no finance background what so ever(except for the finance we learned in 1st year of mba)...would giving a CFA or FRM exam make sense or building up on financial knowledge (through maybe the NFCM exams offered by NSE) and then appearing for them help?
Normally I hear hard core Finance or a CA giving a CFA exams...since im into IT and would like to always remain in the IT side of things( no doubt this would add to my CV)...would this exam help me improve my skill set as a BA?

Appearing for the NCFM exams wont matter a lot if you are going to appear for CFA/FRM. The core readings offered for CFA/FRM are quite detailed. But you can go through the reading material offered for the NCFM certifications. Appearing for NCFM exams is not a necessity. Appearing for CFA/FRM certifications in your case would help you to get into projects pertaining to the BFSI sector. If you are looking purely from a BA's point of view, these certifications would not boost your profile a lot, though it may give you a slight edge over others.

Hey in today's world IT sector and financial sectors are only rocking and this two sector will never be down most the financial sector. So not to worry always be ahead in financial sector.

You can get all the kind to other details in many of the website regarding your quires.

Hi guys, I just completed my MBA- Systems...and im working as a Business Analyst in a content/education domain for past few months.
Im very interested to change my domain to BFSI , my friend suggested to me that I should give NSE module exams to increase my knowledge about the finance domain...would this help me? are there any part time short term courses that can help me ??

The NCFM exams offered by NSE are mostly only for increasing your knowledge in the financial domain. It wouldn't add any special value to your CV. CFA and FRM are more specialized certifications that you can opt for.

Go through the following thread for more clarity on the Financial domain - http://www.pagalguy.com/forum/career-discussions/68219-why-finance.html

Hey Guys I Am New Member Over Here & Wanted To Know Something About MBA IN Information Technology(IT) Field...And Some Of The Top Universities Offering It In MUMBAI....And It's Future Scope...I Would Be More Then Thankful To You If Anyone Helps Me Out In This Topic..

What are the additional courses i should do to enhance my profile and increase my probability to go back to IT Industry?
I do not have coding knowledge, will i may require coding knowledge at some point of my career?
Sorry if my queries sounds silly but please try to answer:)

Concentrate on learning for next two years , u can take some subjects in IT such as ERP , Business Intelligence which are in huge demand right now

Generally you will be looking at the business side of the IT consulting so dont worry coding and testing would not be a part of your portfolio but knowledge of technical side is always very advantageous

Hi Seniors,Super Seniors and my dear folks,
I am going to start my MBA journey from NMIMS (Bangalore unit).
Before joining NMIMS, i have done my b.tech from VIT Vellore in EEE and worked in HCL Technologies in hardware engineering(Design Engineer) for around 21 months. Anyway i wish to comeback to IT Industry. I am good with numbers but i am not keen to take Finance. I'm inclined towards marketing.
Now if i take Marketing+Operation&Systems; as a dual specialization, what kind of role i may get in IT Industry?

Hi,I have 2 years experience in an IT firm.Now,I am going to Persue my MBA from a decent B school .My doubts are the following.1)Can I come back to the same IT firm where I work in a role other than business analyst?I understand that the track of the PM in an IT company requires more work ex and normally MBA people are not put in it,If so What are the other profiles that I can look out for?

Hey,

Certainly, we can get a profile of Business Analyst in IT companies. Also, you can come back to your own IT company. I would suggest you to maintain a good relationship with your previous company personnel in case they will be good point of contact if you want to come back there post MBA.

At this level, you won't get a PM role. The other profiles that you can get in IT companies are business consultants, Transition Manager, Engagement Manager, Operations Lead/Manager etc. This varies company to company.

All the best !!

Thanks need a detaied reply plz....

I think your 2 years of MBA would give you sufficient knowledge in the technical aspects so need not worry about it
What you have to work on in soft skills which are very important when facing clients , its about understanding what is the priority for clients and how you can deliver a winning solution to attain those objectives

So work on your presentation and communication skills , sometimes expressing what you know is much more important than just what you know


Regarding your work ex , its also about quality than just quantity if you have done some work , so try present it on your CV which complement your skill sets such as leadership , communication , technical skills etc

Hey Puys,

Thanks for starting and keeping going this wonderful and very helpful thread. :)

I've come to know that students get profile of Transition Manager post MBA in IT companies like Capgemini, Accenture, IBM etc. How much does the specialization impact on the getting this profile?

If anybody has idea about it or worked/working as Transition Manager then it will be a great listening from him/her.

Thanks!

Some info i found from Linked in on transition manager , i guess should clarify a lot

Job Description for a job in Wipro

Domain:- Transition Management.
Lead & drive customer transitions projects.
Develop multi level relationships with client & Wipro team members to ensure project delivery goals are met as planned.
Ensure high levels of customer satisfaction by delivering project cost, schedule and quality objectives.
Effectively identify, manage, resolve and mitigate key risks and issues impacting the project delivery.
Ensure the transition methodology is well understood and adhered to.
Lead / participate in opportunity analysis / due diligence of potential projects.
Help in new bids solutioning / RFP responses.
Proactively identify new opportunities to increase revenues / improve processes for customers.

I think after reading the above points its a profile similar to internal process consulting which many international banks offer as has been shared by varun earlier

As far as i know, specialization doesn't matter much for this profile. I have seen people who had electives entirely in different specializations getting into this profile. Even few international banks recruit for the profile of transition manager.

About working, i think someone who has actually worked in the profile would be the better person to answer.

Cheers!

Do you think a guy from pharmacy background with 2 years of experience can excel in IT marketing? I want to be in marketing. I don't mind whether it is IT or Pharma(Though my mind tilted little towards IT marketing). Are techinical skills a must for IT marketing?

Buddy

IT Marketing doesn't need technical skills as such but slight prior knowledge of IT and how you can make your client benefit from implementing IT solutions is what is looked for.

Marketing skills are at highest priority along with your domain knowledge. Here, your prior experience in pharma will help you. However, not having any prior knowledge of IT might be the slight disadvantage but it doesnt outrightly keep you away from the possibility of getting into IT Marketing.

Hone your marketing skills during college, read a bit about IT and how pharma is using it currently and you shall be ready for the same as far as interviews are concerned.

Cheers!

Puys I got admission in NIT Trichy. Most of the companies coming for campus recruitment are from IT. I have 2 years of experience in Pharma selling.

Do people with 2.5 years of experience in IT offered Program Manager profiles after MBA in systems ?

Yes, people get into this profile after 2.5 years of work ex. It also depends on the profiles that company opens up in the college you do your MBA from.

i want to know elaborated profile of a consultant in an IT industry.
what does he do and how MBA degree helps him in career growth.

Please go through initial pages of the thread and your queries will be answered. In case any doubt persists, feel free to shoot it here.

You mean executive MBA?
And what exactly do you want to ask. There is no question in this statement.

After completing MBA in IT there are lot of better opportunities in good MNC companies..

Hi Puys,


Can anyone please reply. I tried to search all posts in this read thread and other threads too ,but most of questions asked were loosely related. Due to which I have posted a new question. Seniors please help.

Hi Puys,

I have total 7 years of experience in IT industry. I wish to pursue MBA(executive) in future do not want to be completely away from technical stuff . I mean, I love coding,designing etc but still want to learn how top management works I mean billing ,budgeting etc. I know its strange and you may be thinking when I like the programming why I want to go for MBA or why I am not trying for MS or M Tech. Actually after spending 7 years in IT industry I do not wish to start from scratch.I may get the current profile or manager role after M Tech etc but it would not very beneficial because sooner or later I can get there by my B.Tech degree and by experience or performance . I wish to get into a profile where I will not only have opportunity to look into code but I will be responsible to take key management related decisions . Something kind of 40-60 or vice-versa profile.I also know the kind of profile I am talking about can be achieved by becoming Development manager in product company but that will not take me far in future.I know one cannot be coder for whole life but still want to be that for at least 9-10 years more.

In nutshell , I want to have MBA degree but not cost of something(except money ). So please tell me if such profile after MBA exists or not.Is there any company which comes for placement for this kind of role in IT ?.I am not the one who wants MBA to be CEO one day or get high salary . I just want to keep my interest alive, strengthen my profile and yet grow. I know many guys who were engineers did MBA after 2-3 year of experience and now want to move back to Technical role.

Hi!

Although my career profile is not similar to yours, but I'm working in a top five IT company after completing my MBA this year. Following are some of the job options for MBAs in IT companies:

1. Business Analyst: You act as an Interface between the customer and the delivery team. You are expected understand the business processes and the exact customer requirements and document them properly in a format that the delivery team (developers) understands. For being an effective BA, you should have knowledge of things like UML, RUP, Rational Rose etc. in addition to having a good domain knowledge. Experienced BAs become good IT Consultants.

2. Pre-Sales: Here you do things like responding to RFIs, RFPs and preparing client-specific presentations. Similar profile is that of a Business Development Manager.

3. Sales: Do I need to explain this one?

4. ERP Consultant: You are responsible for understanding the business processes of your customers and implementing packaged ERP software (like SAP) after making the necessary customizations.

5. Project Manager: Project Managers are involved in a project right from the stage of requirements gathering. They are required to do Planning, Estimation, Resource (People, Hardware, Software etc.) and time management. Tools like MS Project are heavily used by PMs.

6. HR Manager: Not much work Kidding Responsible for Recruitment, Appraisal, Employee retention, Career planning, Trainings etc.

7. Quality/Testing Manager: Suitable for people with testing/QA kind of background.

Hope that helps. Good luck for your MBA.

Cheers!

Hi Anurag,

A few questions regarding two of the profiles (BA and ERP consultant)..
1) Do companies look for any particular MBA specialization while offering these roles.
2) Do both or any of these roles (ERP and BA) typically involve a lot of onsite/travelling ( I'm not really keen on frequent relocation.. hence asking)

Thanks

Hi CatKrazzy!
I right now work for an IT firm which is in the banking space. I got into this firm after 2 years of banking operations experience post an IIT KGP MBA.
So, I thought I could help you frame your thoughts...

Your core banking experience is quite valuable, especially given the fact that it is for almost 5 years. To capitalise on it post the MBA, you can either directly join a technology firm in the core banking space right after the MBA or gain deeper banking functional experience for a couple of years by working in a bank.

My personal advice would be one of adopting the latter approach - the deep functional experience gained by working in banking operations can be put to good use - you will be able to leverage your pre-MBA core banking experience as well this way.

As regards internship, I would suggest a banking internship again!
But if you insist on some variety, you could probably take up strategy / consulting based internships to gain cross domain / cross functional exposure..

Cheers!

I have 4.8 years of IT experience in Banking with Finacle. I will be joining MBA at NMIMS this year. I have decided that I will either go in Banking or come back to IT. Many people advised me to go with open mind without being biased towards specialization. But I don't want to waste my domain knowledge in any case.
So I am skeptical about pre sales / BDM profile which have marketing inclination. I am open for Business Analyst / IT consulting jobs. I am planning for Finance Major and IT minor or any other banking profiles which will complimet my work ex. Am I thinking on right lines??How should I plan MBA to get the best out of it since Iwill investing a lot..Expecting comments from expert and experienced Puys..Also what should be my plan for summers??Bank or IT firm?

Without MBA, yes the package might be same initially, but difficult to excel in the pre sales kind of profile. ost people get stuck in the project delivery only and hence slow career growth.
People might argue that many existing pre sales guys in top companies are Non MBAs, but mind you they are people with around 12-15 years of work ex, and that too when they joined IT services, competition was far less, so they had a fair chance of progressing even without MBA degrees

Thanks for the info. I am not particularly interested in finance and am happy with IT product development from a different angle. Maybe product marketing or something involving more interaction with clients etc. I definitely want to get away from coding full time.

Anyone with info plz reply, if I do MBA in marketing and am recruited by an IT company, will I be able to travel to different places and meet new people...I just hate sitting at a place and work...

I think you have a valid point. The thing is whether you are genuinely interested in IT or want to switch your career to other field.

Anyways, coming to the BDM kind of role, this is a pre sales role where the task of the person responsible includes identifying the potential clients, meeting the client's teams, getting an idea of their needs and then preparing presentations and relevant things to bid for the project. Quite a challenging task but generally the most respected and best awarded profile in IT services industry.
Like suppose you lead a team to win some project from an X company worth some millions of dollars. That propels the person in limelight and good for growth. Now identifying potential clients, understanding their needs, budgeting, marketing your company, preparing human resources for the project delivery etc all need skills taught in B Schools.

Hey appreciate the viewpoint, but I am not sure whether waiting another year is really that good. Especially because the exec MBAs are really costly and the PGP courses in finance MBA do not look favourably on experienced guys.

Best wud hv bn 1 yr exec course either from abroad or ISB Hyd.
After that , a regular MBA 2 yrs in Finance from top 30 instt.
If u switch now u will gt approx the same amt wich u will get after MBA IT from NITIE...anyways its all abt selecting the best among 2-3 good options

Go for MBA Finance from some top instt.
Diversify rather than just stick to IT

Hi, I am a software engineer working in the telecom domain with one of the top companies in the world of networking/packet-core domain. I have 3.5 years of work experience. I am wondering about NITIE PGDITM course, I am wondering whether it is a good option to go accept the offer there. Will MBA in IT provide me with some advantage or is it better to wait and try again for a more generic MBA programme.

Hi all,

Good job helping out ppl :)

I am an IIM too...:P.....I hv close to 6 yrs of experience...planning to target schools with 1 yr MBA...I want to get into Business Development....

But wondering how MBA will help me i moving from Software Engg to BDM...apart from soft skills how will they benefit? If anyone can explain what a BDM does (I think from the name, everyone knows he/she brings new business...but wat are his day to day activities or what are his tasks?)...and how the courses/electives help him to carry out the task, it wil be helpful.

Hope this helps other BDM aspirants too...(desperately wanna come out of this ignorance..:(...)

You can get presales, sales in SAP. You could even get a BA role in SAP space.

I have an experience of 2.5 years in IT industry as a technical SAP consultant..I am going to pursue 1 year MBA program with a combination of marketing and IT with an option of strategy or operations as minor. What kind of roles can I target after completion if I wish to continue in ERP apart from being a functional consultant..

PS: i don't wanna come back to IT as ERP implementation or consultant, that i can do now.
apologies as it says career aft MBA in IT industry! but there was no thread for career not in IT.

I have 4 and half years exp in IT.
to be specific, i am in QA with domain experience in supply chain : QA in SAP SD
i'm planing to do mba next year; tired of 9hrs a day at office .
i want to go "the teaching line", probally do phd in mba.

Puys, any suggestion. is that 1yr executive mba good enuf to do later phd or will require me to do AICTE approved - 2yrs course?

good career path in MBA it really make your life better and help to build a successful career, Now you are in IT then MBA then after you will get a good respect and higher position in the company..

Hi Everyone,

Hi puys!
I have a query ...kindly reply to it...
Actually ,I am working in a telecom sector for the past 3 years and want to do MBA from next academic session...
The thing is ,I can't leave delhi at all due to some personal reasons and hence targeting good colleges in Delhi/NCR..like FMS,IIFT,MDI,IITD etc.
For job stability and better work life balance(as I have other commitments too) ,I want job in PSU once I pass out from college....
So can I get good PSU placement from college like IIFT through which I can get PSU job offer in Dehi/NCR??
My query seems to be looking vague to many puys...but please reply as it is very important for me...
Thanks

I have kind of same query. I have IT background in graduation and i was medical aspirant in hsc. I am pursuing MBA-2nd semester and want to choose MBA-IT but unfortunately my college don't offer MBA in IT just because none of my mates want to go for IT so i am the only 1. Moreover all are forcing me to choose MBA-finance. So i am in dilemma which way to go. Will i be able to survive in an organisation with finance stream. Above all will an organisation choose a candidate with IT + MBA finance? I guess they will prefer BBA or B.Com background in place of me. What extra work i should do to polish my skills in Finance?
