Personal Dilemma Related Queries

Hi all,
I have been working as a software developer for last 2.5 years and recently got an opportunity to work as a business analyst.
As i do not have a MBA degree,the role of business analyst can prove out to be very challenging for me.
Will this experience as BA,help me out if i want to pursue my MBA in near future???

Unless you work for at least a couple of years as a BA, you won't get quality experience. But that would also mean that you will have to pursue a 1 year or an Exec MBA. That said, very few people without an MBA gets an opportunity in a BA role and the fact that you have been offered this role indicates that your superiors think that you have the necessary qualities for this role. And this is something really good.

Wouldn't it be nice to make a jump after 6 months into a job and expect a decent increase in salary if you have the learning to offer to the new organization?

most of the companies normally expect the candidate to have minimum 6/12 months exp in the previous company...

however if some company has called u for the interview it implies that they do not have any problem with your previous work exp...

u can take call based on your profile & the salary hike..;)
evrythng...
ranging from the faculty and the materials they provide, classroom preparation,tests etc....
actually am about to take admission ... a bit apprehensive.. :sneaky:



Sorry for the late response....U can go join the classes straightforward...Its already very late my fren but not too late...I am myself a CL student@gariahat branch.....faculty is good like Sakeeb sir, Madhu Mam...COurse material is average but the mock tests are of the exact level of CAT......hope 2 hear frm ya soon 😃

I have done my graduation in bcom ( marketing ) with 46 % ...I really don't know if I will be able to do mba with this sort of marks ..can someone please guide me with the information ..whether doing mba is the right choice for me or not . I m really confused and at a loss at this moment


Hi

MBA is a right choice or not depends on what you wish to achieve in life and not on marks in graduation. 😃 So, you are the best person to answer if MBA is right choice and no one else out here. 😃

Marks are only the criteria in the journey called MBA to decide which B-School will you get through and after that the company you will be placed. :)

So, if you see MBA to be the right choice for you, start off with making the list of colleges/exams where you are eligible, prioritize them as per your preference and have a focussed approach to reach there. 😃

Then, focus on preparation forgetting about the marks, prepare well and score good. Following it, prepare for GDPI along with a good answer for few questions that might pop up because of graduation marks. However, preparing answer for it is yet far, so for time being focus should be on exam preparation. 😃

Hope this helps! 😃

Cheers and All the best,
Varun

I am currently pursueing M.Tech from IIT Roorkee with an assistantship of Rs. 8000 per month. For conversion of any call for MBA, do IIMs consider this assistantship as an work experience? Kindly help because I am aiming for cracking CAT this year.


no it will be internship according to me
Hi everyone,

I am pursuing bachelors of business economics from Delhi university. My graduation will end in April 2013. I am confused between doing MBA from India or msc from abroad

My profile:

Tenth- 83 percent
12th- 68 percent(PCM)
Expected in graduation- above 60 percent

Extracurricular activities-
Founded a startup last year, a marketing platform for companies Targetting students. The operations shut down this year due to dispute between cofounders
Associate member of aiesec- participation in social ventures, hosting international interns

Got 550 rank in bbs entrance examination( approximate applicants- 15000 above)

I had been a bright and creative student but screwed up since tenth. I had been diagnosed with ADHD. Till now, I wanted to startup after my graduation but now I plan to do a post graduation which gives me a job security with a minimum salary of 1 lakh per month at least. So that I can freely startup without my parents worrying up.

I am confused between cat and GMAT as there is less time in cat. Also I am not sure if my profile suits a good b school abroad. Please suggest me something. Is there someway I can improve my profile or should I stick my guns to Indian schools only. I am aiming at global sp Jain? I am good in quants, verbal and gk as my Bbs ranking shows.


i feel u should go for Indian colleges...get admit to a good bschool..work for sometime then start something on your own..u already have startup exp !!!

Buddy you have a very good profile and you can get into a top B-school. Just get a good CAT score.

And start your preparation as soon as possible. The earlier the better.

Hi All,

Myself Vishal, working as a Soft Engg in one of the leading MNC in Bangalore, frm last 2 years nd having salary of 4.2 Lpa.
I tried to prepare IAS while working but couldnt be consistent.
I have 3 attempts left 2013, 14, 15.(in short, I have only 2-3 years to do all such kinds of exercise ! )

1.Will it be a gud option to switch towards ssc-cgl govt job , in a hope to get time for preparation, as I am not in favor of sitting idle without any job for the preparation..?
- wouldn't that be a risk , as I don know how much they pay , nd wht will be the future scope.

2.And after switching , in worst case if I have not cleared IAS, can I come back for MBA after clearing CAT/GMAT (will the profile be affected by such career related variations ?)

(I have currently appeared for the ssc CGL -12 nd hoping to clear the first round , next round will going to be held in Sept- 12, then interview in Oct- Nov)

Please post some useful & logical comments/suggestions..
Many many thanks in advance .

Yes in some b-schools it may hamper your chances but there are plenty of top b-schools who will accept your acads and a good percentile in CAT

so prepare hard atb 😃

Again let say 40-50 percent of firms look at acads , rest wont , i am not saying life will be easy but it never is ... so stop worrying about 2015 or 2013 worry about 2012 and about your preparations ..
