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

Hey Puys,
Please explain in brief how TIME and other Instis organize mocks since it went online. Am i required to attempt them at their centres or right at my place?? Is it required to register with more than one insti.. Also if there is any other site that provides similar ol tests.. Thanx

hii
i have got the offer from GLIEMR(pgp energy management 2011-2013).i have around 3 yrs work exp as Software developer in CTS and presently drawing a salary of 3.6 lack p.a
i am in a dilemna to whether join it or not considering the pro's and cons

Advantages-
Brand name of Great lakes.
pretty good summer placements as Psu's like HPCL,BPCl ,IGL, etc came to it.
smaller batch size(60)and summer placement offer of 1.5 per student

disadvantages
Not aicte recognised course.
no infrastructure as its own building is expected 2 be complete by feb next yr.
placement package
this would be 2nd batch of Energy Management course.So cant guess the type of companies 2 visit the campus

if i reject this offer then considering that the only other convert for me was imt-dubai( but i am nt willing to join it considering ROI of 16 lc).so i will have to write CAT again next year or should i opt for ICICI bank 1 yr course in SECURITY Markets (PGCSM)which it has started in collaboration with NISM and promises to give 12.5 lc package

I'm a fresher:lookround:

there are various IIT's and not all are same with respect to quality of Placements and education from excellent to average

fresher makes no difference unless u want to specialize in ops, if u want to do ops then a 2 year core exp wud be very handy , but anyways u shud realise wheter u can get a better college of not

GUYS MY FINAL YEAR EXAMS OF BBA ARE OVER . my specialisation in 3rd year was marketing . im looking for a job and uploaded resume to timesjobs and monster jobs for something in marketing that will help me in 2011 admission season . what type of job should i look for ? i want to do mba in marketing or IB , got a few mails but they r of bpo's


I am doing bba (3rd year, not going great BTW)and I want to do some practical course after bba so that I can get some
decent job related to my field. I am not looking insurance selling or BPO jobs .NO, I dont want to do MBA after BBA.I want work experience.

I was thinking about doing CFP (certified financial planner) or NCFM modules which can help me get a job (or as an intern) into financial market.
Well basically i want stock market related jobs

I know I cant get big pay jobs just by doing CFP or NCFM course but I want industry exposer.
I am dying to work. I want real industry experience.
I hate rote learning, I am more of 'learning by doing' type .

MY MAIN QUESTION..
Now ,which course would you guys suggest me to do after BBA AND what kind of jobs can one expect after doing these courses
AND how easy or difficult it would be to get a job after doing so and so courses.

dude GIM is quite a decent college ...see you have 97% ,if u can get more then 99.5% ,then iimc,r call will be der and more important u will have mdi call...if u go by this year result all those who have more then 99 have got into mdi

if i were in your place i would i given 1 more shot this year with my full strength...

but at the last its ur decision....all the best

I am a B.Tech engg. (IT), having an work exp of 2 yrs in IT firm. my current role is "unix/lnux admin" i am planning to go for an MBA...i want to stick IT...which stream should i choose to leverage my current profile.

the biggest problem with that is i am too frustrated with my job and that is downgrading my performance.it came down from 99.2 in 2007 to 97 now.. for me cat is not about talent(i know i have it) .it's about temperament which i am losing in my current job.. and already with almost 3 yrs work ex it may get a bit too late.maybe i'll go in for gim and will do executive mba after 4-5 yrs from usa. maybe if i find a good job post mba i can crack gmat..

Best is Finance(major) + IT (minor) .If not Marketing(major) + IT (minor)
Must keep IT but not as majors .
Reason -> u already hv IT work ex so by MBA u shud xpand ur scope of profiles u can get . Altho u will get a BA profile watever u do

You are soooo wrong dude.
This is not the way u shape ur career.
IT toh pehle se hi hai..no one is snatching away ur education and work ex..if u wanna stick to IT , I will simply say dont do MBA.(OR do it only frm some instt known for its IT MBA )
Even BTech guys(if they hv proven themselves in initial 2-3 years) get BA roles wich MBA freshers get.
Think of doin MBA to xpand ur opportunities.
Keep IT as only an option. The way u see it...ur home and destination are same.

IT companies are same everywhere.. they take people from cs as well as non cs background.. in both btech as well as mba..so try opening up your options as mr 87ln rightly pointed out..

Hey guys, I am planning to give CAT and other MBA exams this year. I am currently working is a PSU but would like to quit the company before the exams begin (sometime in November). Can someone please help me with this decision ?
Will quitting reflect poorly on me during the interviews, or is it not that big a deal ?
