Personal/Career/CAT-job Dilemma Queries : A Repository

hey Puys please help me out, i converted the call from HCU.. and i got 77.20 percentile in CAT 2010(this being my first attempt). I am in my final year engg.. acads: 10th-91.5 12th-94.9 Btech(CSE)-66.89.. and I have a job offer from an okay-ish software company.. I am really confused if i should take up MBA from Hyd central univ or give cat another try. I mean is it not too difficult to prepare for CAT with a hectic schedule at IT companies? and considering the unpredictability that CAT has been going through over the years.. is it really worth another try? Thanks in advance puys.. Please help me out of this mess..

Puys anyone with valuable suggestions...please pour in ur views.

Really Looking forward for It.


Of the institutes you mentioned IBS Hyd is a good option for finance, don't go for a college like bimtech unless you have no better calls and 100% must do your mba this year.
The rest I have not heard of. Problem with IBS is the immense comptetition. The last half of the batch of 800-900 students get not very good jobs at all. And since grading there is relative, if you aren't in the top half you get a job which makes the ROI for this slightly expensive course very little.
I don't know much about executive mba because I'm a fresher and a fellow aspirant

Would recommend you to continue with your job and go for CFA or FRM certificatons , AFAIK NCFM , would not help you in finding a decent finance job but a CFA would

HI all,

I have been working in a top Indian IT firm as a developer for 15 months. I am not too satisfied with the job and dont think i can continue doing it for more than 2 years and have plans to do MBA. A month back I, alongwith 3 of my friends started a partnership trading firm and it is taking off well. I am planning to leave my current job and pursue our venture full-time. Please suggest me if it would be a wise idea. The 2 reasons i am sticking with the job are the constant income and experience. If I leave the job, will my stint with the venture be considered as experience? and what proof should i show to prove it since we dont have a concept of giving out experience certis or fixed salaries.


Puys, can somone suggest ?

Hi guys, i have completed my BE mechanical in june 2010 and is in to my family business now.I am planning to do an MBA from UK/US/Aus. I dint write GMAT and my degree % is 55.I have got the newsletter from pagalguy about the MBA Fair to be held in Mumbai and new delhi. I am from kerala, now my query is whether it would be helpful for me if i travel to mumbai or delhi to attend the fair to choose the right university? or is the universities participating accept only students have high GPA, GMAT and work experience?

Please help me out...

Hey Vik,

Many thanks for the reply.
I too seem to be going for the MBA, but the problem would be only to prepare for it.
Because preparing for M-Tech would have helped me in my work and also the course.
But i get your point of being already a techie person an MBA would boost my career.

One question i have for part time M-Tech from BITS Pilani - Is it an AICTE approved course ?

Cheers

Puys,I have 6 years of IT experience in a very reputed captive unit.
I am drawing a salary of 9 L/annum.
I have now converted NITIE. I would need a good analysis whether a person with my profile can join NITIE for career growth.

Comparison of colleges is not allowed on PG so cant do it.
had I been at your place I would have chosen GIM.

I send u a pm regardin my query please help !

hi puys just need a second opinion about my plans..

i am a btech 2010 pass out currently working with HCL.
i appeared for MBA entrance exams and got a call from XLRI for HRM..

now if i convert my call then there is no dilemma..

but if i dont then i have a big dilemma as to continue with HCL or move towards an analytics firm aka kpo. there are 2 possibilities -

possibility 1- continue working with HCL, which provides me with a lot of time to prepare for CFA L1 dec 2011 along with the job, as i don't really need to study a lot for mba entrance exams as i have been preparing for the same since 18 months.but this provides me with a typical IIM(indian IT male ) profile.

possibility 2- shift to a kpo or an analytic firm (was placed in one through campus also) and have a different profile.. but in this case due to long working hours in this industry, i will be unable to prepare for CFA L1, which i really want to do if i don't pursue mba in hr this year from xlri.

personally, i don't hate the IT job, i am pretty decent at it too.. and being at HCL will help me develop a strong finance background for my mba in future..

please suggest as to what i should do??

p.s- i am asking this before my xl result because i have to hunt for job in the kpo or analytic firms then..

i hope ur reason is nt just money,bcoz there is plenty of money in ur field,more than finance if u r really gud.....i know of a mngr who earns 44 LPA in India (INR & nt Zimbabwe dollar!!) aftr 18 yrs of workex (Intl + domestic).....


if u r shifting bcoz of love for fin....so u can pursue

1.MBA fin - Glamorous, bt useless unless u hav prior workex in fin or "superb" acads & MBA college
2.CA - lucrative,bt again success depends on ur contacts
3.ICFA - gr8 option & combine it wid MBA fin & u wud probably land up around 15-20 LPA as a fresher.....

i am sure if d above will justify ur shift, bt hopefully it will help u decide....:thumbsup:
