An MBA in Finance is a worthwhile endeavour. However, as education by itself, it could seem incomplete when it is time for you to think about your career option post-MBA. In this article, I hope to convey a broad idea of some of the roles you can explore, as well as an understanding of how to attain them.
Read the first part of the story here. May 2018 My office had become very hectic. I had been plotted on a client which made me travel 5 hours a day and work for 9 hours. Studies were as erratic as can be. But the fire hadn’t died.
Like most of the millennium kids, I too spent hundreds of hours into video games - from Roadrash to Call of Duty - with little to show for it in real life. In retrospection, I contemplate that what if there was a game wherein the more one plays, the better one gets in life. And as one levels up in life, the more rewards he gains in-game. Fast forward to today, you can see it the same - tons of “Productivity” apps on play store exist to make life easier, more productive and without compromising the fun part.
Investopedia says, and I quote - Return on investment (ROI) is a financial metric of profitability that is widely used to measure the gain from an investment. In the context of an MBA, the usual way to calculate ROI is to measure the “package” of your placement vs the total course fee/ expenses. Higher the package, better the ROI.
I've always been confused about where I want to go and what I want to be. Ever since I remember I feel I have been a free, bold and independent spirit. I have done exactly what I want because that's the only thing that works for me and makes me the person I am today.
Running your own start-up or even working for one is challenging and unpredictable. But somehow it is that uncertainty that pushes people beyond their limits and achieve things they never even imagined. In this startup journey, the first obstacle every entrepreneur faces is raising money. While some companies consider bootstrapping, others look for funding. And guess who gives the funding? It is the Venture Capitalist. Venture Capital is typically the financing that well-off investors, investment banks and other financial institutions provide to startup companies and small businesses that promise long-term growth potential.
A lot has happened since 2016, I fell in love. I got a job at a leading company. I messed up there. I quit. I took back my resignation. I worked hard. I gave up on the girl I should’ve been with. I left my job. I moved cities. And yet, the subject of my story is not love or work. During this time, I had my tryst with an exam that bears no resemblance to cute furry feline it shares its name with. The CAT.
In Mohit's words: Thursday, March 14, 2019: Exactly 20 days after I choking my way through IIM Ahmedabad’s interview, I knew this would be my last chance for a seat at one of the old IIMs. Troubled throughout the night, either due to excitement or kept awake by the demons of my past, this was a make-it or break-it situation. Soon enough, I got ready and took the hour-long journey from NOIDA to the prescribed venue – Hotel Radisson Blu in Dwarka. To pass the time and compose myself I flipped between several podcasts.
