Drawing Conclusions Post 2008 Global Economic Crisis | B-School Placements Post-COVID-19 Crisis

At most Indian b-schools, campus placements are conducted between December and April. However, due to the Coronavirus lockdown, many management institutes have either halted or left the placement process incomplete.

From SPJMIR Student To VP of Investment And Asset Management At Pandim Consultancy | Journey Of Prerna Lotlikar, CFA Certified and SPJIMR Finance Alumni

“During our placements, Investment Banking was the most preferred job and also the most lucrative one. I didn’t know much about IB and had an interest in an asset management kind of role. However, since most people wanted to get into IB, I thought I should try it too because if I don’t, I will be missing out on something. However, when I actually landed up interning in an investment banking job, I got to know the finer nuances and realised that this is not the kind of job that I really enjoyed and that's not something I would like to make a career in”, says Prerna Lotlikar, VP of Investments at Pandim Consultancy, CFA and SPJIMR Finance Alumni.
