Thankx Mr pranav,
I am really greatful to you
that wos really a helpful information for me,
I would like to ask you one more thing ......like which sort of profiles would be having openings for me...

Hello Saket,
I can understand the pressure that makes one accept any job being offeredrather than being too choosy about things. However it is never too late, the exposure you get as part of the channel sales team can definitely be leveraged with any IT company globally.

This is because you combine 3 important things, Engineers degree and fresher workex on technical side, MBA in systems and understanding of management needs from a SAP system/module and last the experience of channel sales which most of your engineering colleagues wont have not even MBAs in many cases.

THus you should use this lean phase of the market to learn as much as possible about the channel sales/ institutiional sales, etc. It is a great combination that can be explored on an immediate basis.

Thanks for your kind words, saar. Although I'm not the best person to reply on this thread, but I'll try my level best to throw some light :)

To begin with, I'd like to copy-paste one of my earlier posts



Now, I'm currently working in a BA profile (for the moment) in one of the major Indian IT companies (I don't think the company name is of any relevance here because all of them are pretty much the same). You can read the Job description of BAs in the post that I quoted, my role is similar to that (but not limited to that only). My technical background (Bachelors + MBA Systems) helps me in speaking a technical language when I'm interacting with the Delivery Team (of my company) and my MBA degree helps me in understanding the customer needs. I can't go much deeper and disclose details because of the Project I'm involved in...I hope you understand

Coming back to how MBA in Systems helps you in the Industry? The biggest advantage is that being an MBA, you get a preferential treatment everywhere (I don't know why )...somehow the top management trusts MBAs too much (even if they are freshers), gives them a lot of responsibilities (and hence learning opportunities)...sometimes the workload can become excessive because you need to be involved in every phase of SDLC and are expected to make valuable contributions, but all that is a lot of fun if you are passionate about technology

I didn't know much about the life of an MBA Systems guy, but I specialised in Systems because of my passion for technology...you may do it because of some other reason. Doing my MBA in Systems helped me a lot because prior to that I had only some sort of bookish technical language and my way of thinking was not "Business oriented". I learnt more because of my teachers....my "Software Project Management" prof. is the CEO of an IT company with over 20 years of Project Management experience in Xerox, the person responsible for implementing SAP in Hero Honda taught me "Enterprise Resource Planning" and so on. I seem to be digressing from the topic now and this is becoming more of a Blog post, I'll stop here for now. I'm not sure whether this helped you or not but because you (Mr. thread starter) PM'ed me, I had an obligation to reply. In case you are not satisfied/want more information, you are most welcome to reply on this thread and I'll post back as and when time permits.

Cheers!
