5 Careers Options After An MBA In Finance
“The one thing I would caution you is that there would be roles offered in the BFSI sector that are not core finance roles (such as Relationship Manager and Sales Manager roles), but offer quite attractive CTCs and mass recruit as well. It is a dilemma that lots of core Finance people find themselves in (barring those in IIMs ABC, FMS) when they're waiting for companies during placement season. The peer pressure to get placed, coupled with the fear of obtaining lesser quality roles and CTCs as the days go by sets in. There are a few schools of thought regarding that, but if you decide that you want to choose the CTC over a core role, then that's your decision to take. However, I know that it is not impossible to switch back to a core finance role after a year, but it'll definitely take more effort to do so.”
