MDI Final Calls 2005

Hey Mohit,

I have seen your posts on the NITIE & FMS threads. Havnt you made it to both these instis apart from MDI? So would you be joining MDI too?

Incase you are - how about sharing your reasons for preferring MDI over FMS.

Hello sir,


I am having same profile like u.... am having 20 months of work exp as of now and i have already denied the 3 years onsite trip.... and on top of that informed my boss about my resignation on the day of my annual apprasial....
of cousrse my salary is less than urs buddy....
This all becos

1. Onsite trip is like a carrot that all IT companies use.... why u should just flush the idea out of ur mind is....
1.1 That u will definitely get after u do ur MBA... that too in the line that u want rather
than the line which u want to get out of (like me)
1.2 Just see the placement scene across board man.... @ IIM A atleast 10 ppl opted for indian jobs not only becos desh ki dharti but becos of better job profile, India is going to be hub of everything (has already began), and of course man u work for ur country... so i have already removed this onsite bug from my mind .... its upto u know....

2. Regarding consulting jobs... see dont know abt dude.... but i luv the IT industry only thing is i want to move to consulting area as compared to present delivery line... for this as of now i am planning to have a combo of IT and marketing as my specialization... so if u are talking abt this consulting... u have E&Y;, PWC, Ramco, Infy, Barcklays etc....

hope it helps...

thanks monuguru and deepankar for ur inputs.

after some more introspection i want to find answers to these

1) If i continue with IT , will MDI be a value addition.. (not only in terms of salary) ..but also in terms of job profile... MDI seniors please give details of job profile offered to laterals...
(i think job profile offered by IT companies...across B-schools is the same.. ?)

2) switching over to finance... need feedback on job profile in equity research.

I think candid feedback from MDI seniors will help many of us make an informed choice.

I get a feeling that this thread is not frequented by MDI guys.. can some one pls bring this to MDI pgites attention.

thanks.

It would not be a bad idea if you actually come down tyo MDI one day and find out all the stuff you need straight from the horse's mouth.. as the saying goes..

Cheers!!
and Happy Holi

Just came across a post which advised people that you can opt for other minors in the second year -

THIS IS NOT TRUE - ALL YOUR ELECTIVES HAVE to be HR.
FIRST YEAR IS NOT COMMON EITHER - There are variations in the HR course.

Please refrain from posting what you are not sure about. As for the others who are posting queries, please do not rely on anything other than what the seniors in MDI tell you.

As for IRMA vs HR - in a business perspective, IRMA wont get you anywhere, MDI would. But again, I do not say this to demean rural management, I say this because it wont be relevant considering your long term goals.

Besides, we do learn all subjects in MDI in PGP HR in the first year, so on that count, it does make sense to take it up. A couple of years in the industry would then make you fit enuf to start out on your own.

I hope this helps.

Please dont take this as me being harsh - saying it only coz someone else will decide the course of their life based upon what you post.

Also, for people with such queries, please pm me and I will pm you my phone no. - its better to give specific advice like this over the phone . I have done so for others as well, and have no issues. Its somewhat difficult for me to write elaborate posts though - the schedule here does not permit that!!

I hope this is taken in the right spirit.

Regards,

Ashima

Guys.. take my word for it...Ashima helped me when I was all confused ,talking to her really cleared all the doubts I had in my mind....and yeah..no use listening to people with limited info when you can get the news straight from the horse's mouth!We are about to take the most important step towards a proffessional life so plz refrain from giving out half baked news and abstain from beleiving those who practice it!
Thanks Ashima ,Prateek and others at MDI You people have been our angels!
