(provided u work in ur office and do not sit idle )...hope this helps ATB
puys... need some help.. currently i am pursuing bachelors of business economics.. i am totally confused where my interests lies, and what profile am i suited for... here's my profile.. kindly have a look..
maths is my childhood love, and i enjoy economics is well.. theory subjects is something that i have never enjoyed. studied accounts only in class 11 and 12, but enjoyed it. i have taken up finance as a specialization in my final year, but couldnt devote much time to it as i was busy with CAT prep. so no idea how i fare up in finance. on the personal front, i love competition. also, i am a monomaniac, and whatever interests me, i am 24*7 into it... appeared for various mba entrance exams this year.. as of now, i have IIM S, SIBM, SCMHRD, NMIMS(expected..240),MFC and MBE calls..
i'd come across the term investment banking around a year ago. since then, i'v developed a liking for the lifestyle of an investment banker.. high salary and the ultra professional life is something that i'v been craving for ever since. now the prob is that i am unsure whether it is just my obsession or am i really suitable for this job. what is your say on this??? shall i go approach a career counselor??? guys i wish to take an informed decision. kindly pour in your suggestions..
Look as far as i know, to become an investment banker u need to do CFA(Not sure though)... don't have much idea about cfa...u can check on pg... gather some information, and then decide accordingly... If you feel that u seriously want to go for it then there is no harm... however you need to be sure about what you want to do in life and your goals...and then make an informed decision...don't go by the high salary and the ultra professional life:nono: if you have certain goals nd u stick to it you will always be successful in life (with lots of money:clap:)... hope this helps... P.S.- However, my advice to u would be to convert ur calls(u have really gud ones )... ATB
I am 23 yr old b.tech (IT) working in HCL Tech for 6 months now. I passed out in 2009 and did my .NET certification in the middle. I want to do M.B.A. full time from an average institute in delhi/ncr.
1. What module in MBA would suit me the best?
2. Since I've lost touch with Maths of 11th n 12th what are the chances of me clearing MAT 2011. Which quarter paper should i try for? May or after that?
3. Are there any institutes that are reputed and have easier papers or giving MAT is a necessity?
4. I've heard that Amity university is very costly but provides admission if one clears its own paper+Gd+interview. What are the chances of a good education and placement there?
5. Are there any other reputed institutes that I can try and get admission in 2011?
if you have certain goals nd u stick to it you will always be successful in life (with lots of money:clap:)
thanks a lot for replying sir... yr actually the prob is that i am still unsure about where i see myself five or 10 yrs down the line.. the curriculum of my grad course is very old, and making a career choice just on the basis of that doesnt seem to be feasible idea.. by gods grace, even if i manage to convert the calls i have, it will be a risk i'l be taking, as i am still not sure whether finance is my passion or marketing.. plzzz help yr.. P.S i know i might be sounding like a confused soul, but that is what i am feeling as of now. i am unable to focus on my gdpi prep coz of this unsurety of my life!!!:drinking::drinking:

first of all relax...nd then just prepare for ur gdpi..thats the most important thing for u right now...
read on net/google what all ur supposed to do as a finance manager or as a marketing manager..ask this to guys on pg too... then u might be in a beter position to decide maybe...
finance has lots of maths..it has money...ull be earning a lot and ull have to deal with money in banks or companies...investments/stock markets...balance sheets...i think anyone can develop an interest in finance...i did...nd im happy for that...
whereas Marketing will involve sales..making sales plans..going out as salesmen in the initial years too...just focussing on sales sales sales...

Work hard to get a high percentile, start reading up on current affairs and assessing yourself, and why do you want to do an MBA for starters
they want me to finish my academics ASAP n then get settled..actually my bro did the same thing what i want to do ri8 now n he ended up getting a poor percentile.. though i m quite sure that this wont happen wid me but then i need to make sure that if i manage to get a good percentile then i m able to convert the call also..what should i do?? (i m no mood to join UPES.it is the family pressure on me )

show your family that you really want to pursue your dream, start discussing with them the type of job you are looking at after the MBA, maybe then they will understand, in the meantime work on interview skills, presenting yourself, you could join a coaching institute for the same
