I am a B.Tech IT passout of 2011.I have a job offer of an IT officer in a private bank.But they said they may give other banking works if the need arises.And, as i have learnt that they actually take all kind of work. I am not the programming buff so i dont want to join a software firm and regret later. I prepared for MBA in my final year but as i dint get my coveted colleges so now going for the job.Well, for future i have my eyes set on MBA in Finance after 2-3 years of experience. Now,the important Q for which all this RAMKAHANI... i have written?? Will my experience in Banking be relevant and serve any purpose in my future MBA endeavour. Will it be some negative points for me as being an IT guy I chose banking...(but actuyally that's keeping in mind my future aspirations..)
Need some urgent and genuine reply perhaps from som1 who has seen or been thru such a thing...
P.S. I need ta take a decision very soon.So,please help me outThanks in Advance
cheers
somebody please answer my query.I will indeed be grateful. Please soon as i need to take an urgent decision.
Will my experience in Banking be relevant and serve any purpose in my future MBA endeavour.
If you are talking about adding corporate experience, then yes. If you are talking about specialisation, then may or may not.
Will it be some negative points for me as being an IT guy I chose banking...(but actuyally that's keeping in mind my future aspirations..)
You are joining a bank as IT officer. I understand IT means Information Technology. You must have checked the qualification needed for the post and it surely would have been engineering degree in IT, CS, etc. When a company has a requirement of engineering graduates, then how can someone else blame you that you made a wrong decision. Your decision is absolutely correct.

Would like to get your opinions on the profile and which colleges should I try for?
Also, which course should I try for 2yr MBA or 1 Yr exec MBA?
hey guys plz help me out . i am serving indian defence forces (group A officer cadre). i have done B.tech form very fine deemed unversity (YMCA Fridabad) 65%. 10th and 12th standard 80%+. cat 2009 score 95%le. but fortunately or unfortunately i joined indian defence forces. i have completed my all training and have done with many different types of leardership and other courses. tarined form national defence academy and indian naval academy.now i am thinking to switch my career..what should i do? do i have any advantage among others?i have to pay around 10 lakhs as to leave and breaking bond of defence forces :-(. i am looking towards the best universities.calculating everything economically what should i do?
I have had 32 months of exp in IT in 3 different companies .... still getting good calls from good companies. Even I have great brands in my CV. So if you are good enough to convince people in interviews don't worry.
Also, Accenture is a great place to work in and with your BSc. degree you are getting something which not many BSc people get.... the chance to work for a big company at a very competitive CTC.
Just join it
Thanks interceptor16(don't know ur name), I have decided to join. I'll think of everything once i will join Accenture. anyways thanks a lot.

Frnd...what is making you leave defence forces.I understand it depends on choice but u will be surprised to know that ppl after doing MBA from clgs such as symbi etc. nd having offer in the range of 8-10 lacs r also trying for various defence entries as long as their age permits... Moving beyond examples nd coming to ur case...As far as i know that ppl in defence can opt for an MBA and take study leave and also alongwith salary for those 2 years and education loan at subsidised rates.You can enquire about it from them.As Armed forces always encourage ppl to pursue higher studies... Also,in my opinion it wont be a wise decision to throw away 10 lacs to break the bond and then invest more than 10+ lacs for doing an MBA.Also,ask urself clearly as to why do u want to do an MBA.You can opt for retirement after 20 yrs. of service in defence...as far as i know...and then ur MBA degree will come in handy...defence forces experience is well taken by industry and u can get handsome packages...So,these r the pros and cons... But,In my opinion leaving the defence forces for an MBA is simply not worth it yaar...U have a well settled job...excellent perks...But,all i can say is the Final decision always rests with you and ur ambitions...

Rather than checking syllabus, you should check your interest first. There are many specialisations you can choose from. Give some pointers towards your interests so that people may help you. You can go for HR, Marketing, Operations but all this will depend on your interests.
P.S.:-Your username and MBA not from reputed college will not help.

Your profile is fine. You can go for either of the courses. Since you are planning to make a career switch, 2 year course would be good but you can go for 1 year course as well. There are many colleges that conduct 1 year courses like many of the Exec programs in IIMs, ISB, SP Jain, Great Lakes, etc.

What I can understand from your interests is that you will be more suitable for jobs in Communication Management. You are not interested in sales but if you choose Finance, then it is quite possible that you end up doing sales. If you like Communication, Public Relations, then go for Marketing. Also, what is important is that your written and spoken English should be good for this (I am not sure about this from your post). If you can work on it, then after MBA (Marketing) you may look for job in Public Relations, Corporate Communication, Conference Production, etc. If you need more details, then feel free to PM.
I just completed my regular MBA in HR & Marketing ( Dual )
with 4+ years of ITes Exp what role can i sought for..
Please advise
If you have interest in Marketing then you may go for any Public Relation firms like Perfect Relations, Text 100, 20:20 MSL, Adfactors, Genesis, etc. If you have good Communication Skills - written as well as spoken (English), then you may try your luck in Conference Production as well. You may also try for jobs in Advertising field as well.
If you have interest in HR, then you may try for similar roles as per your interest in Recruitment, Training, etc.
Depending on your age, you can also apply to various PSUs conducting exams for posts in their HR or Marketing departments as well.

Yes...exactly mate...we make mistakes at different junctures of our life...but i believe there is rarely a point of no return... If u r so sure that defence is not ur cup of tea...then,go ahead wid ur decision..But be sure about the field or place u r going to enter...ignoring the financial catastrophe u will have to go thru..Do make sure that u don't leave any scope for regrets in future...All I can say at last but not the least is...All the best in whatever u r going to do...
