I am not a blogger by hobby or profession, yet I can be reasonably certain that this title did raise an eyebrow… and why not? In this time and age, MBA is THE magic potion that your supposedly stunted and dwarfed career can have, to bloom into one of a cool consultant or an impressive investment banker.
In 2016, a strategy initiative, popularly called, ‘Do Well By Doing Good’, is showing promise of going mainstream.
IIM Rohtak has concluded its summer placement process for the academic year 2015-16. The institute witnessed an impressive participation of a multitude of companies across varied domains.
Over the past one decade, attrition has become one the key problems that companies are facing globally. The war for talent is at its all-time peak. Employees leave organizations for many reasons - often unknown and contrary to what most managers would like to believe - research proves the reason is most likely not the money!
Ever since the Global Financial Crisis led to a complete hiring freeze in the bulge-bracket investment banks, strategy consulting roles have uniformly gained more favour with the students of the select institutes which traditionally have had access to both of these “premier” roles. Although banks still find favour with those who are quantitatively inclined, consulting offers intellectually challenging work with a lot of breadth. Furthermore, consulting firms, being relatively inured to the vagaries of financial markets’ performance, tend to hire at a uniform rate each year. In addition to these external factors, MBA grads are now content with being affluent, rather than being obscenely rich albeit with a significant quantum of risk. Thus, by virtue of all these factors, consulting has emerged as the most highly rated vertical in the latest edition of the InsideIIM Recruitment Survey. However, one must take cognizance of the fact that it is only the “strategy consulting” which are perceived as very lucrative and not implementation/process consulting. In this regard, one must also acknowledge that these strategy consulting firms in big numbers only from 3/4 campuses in India wherein only the best profiles make the cut.
Today I happened to speak to someone, when he came to know I was an only child, his first reaction was “ooooh the spoilt pampered one ha?” . This is not the first time I am getting such reactions from people who don’t know me well. Hence, I thought of sharing my experience of being a “not-so-spoilt only child”.
