If Not MBA | Alternate Career Options

If Not MBA | Alternate Career Options

Don’t we all get attracted to the allure of MBA? And why shouldn’t we? It is the best and the fastest way to build the required business skills and climb up the corporate world. However, the road to an MBA isn’t an easy one. First, you need to prepare for tons of entrance exams, then you might attempt all those exams(multiple attempts for some people), and finally, wait for the results. The whole experience can be nerve-racking and is not for the feeble heart. Second, comes the money factor. MBA is expensive. On average, the cost of an MBA in India can range anywhere between 7 Lacs to 25 Lacs. Sure, you may recover the cost in the next 5 to 10 years with your job and internship. But, are you ready for that uncertainty? Are you prepared, mentally and physically, for an MBA? If not, then it is okay! MBA is not the end of the world. There are other ways to boost your career. This article brings you six alternative options that are as good as an MBA.

How To Be An Investment Banker

How To Be An Investment Banker

Admit it. You think investment banking is a sexy career. Somewhere in the secret recesses of your heart, you nurture this dream of becoming a hot shot investment banker. You visualise yourself as the hand that rocks many start- up dreams. You’re the power in the powerful. You see yourself vacationing somewhere at a ski resort in the Swiss Alps. And probably retiring at 40 so that you can enjoy the fruits of your labor.

ZhōngGuó Hǎi Yáng Dàxué: A Dive Into The Ocean

ZhōngGuó Hǎi Yáng Dàxué: A Dive Into The Ocean

The ocean, at times, is a metaphor for education - education, which is not confined to only books and thoughts of scholars but also to the exploration required to build pragmatic, broader outlooks. Such an approach and its output is possible in depths where undercurrents are felt and realised by confluence of  streams from varied directions and locations: the confluence of various disciplines, objectives, nationalities and cultures with a common objective of attainment of knowledge.

Social Media Loves Mom’s Food - A Marketing Success Story

Dizzying lights, empty bottles lying around, greased boilers tilting over food-smeared kitchen slabs, dustbin stacked with paper-plates – the party was a hit. Biryani, Paneer Tikka, Chicken Tandoori, Naan, Butter Chicken – the menu had it all. But the most talked about dish was the dip. Yes, the dip for the chips to make it more delicious.
