Does your starting salary after an MBA really determine your career success? Or do the roles you choose and the skills you build matter more in the long run?
In this conversation at BITS School of Management (BITSoM), we speak with students Sadanand Sontakke, Riya Arolkar, and Vaishnavi Ahuja about their MBA journey, internship experiences, and how they prepared for placements.
We are also joined by Siddhartha Nagar, Head of Career Services at BITSoM, who shares insights on what recruiters actually look for in MBA graduates today.
In this discussion, we talk about:
• Why your first MBA job may not define your long-term career
• Why many MBA students aim for consulting roles
• Other fast-growing career paths like product management, investment banking, and GCC roles
• Why technology awareness and AI understanding are becoming critical for MBA graduates
• How students prepare for consulting case interviews and placement processes
If you're an MBA aspirant, CAT candidate, or someone evaluating B-schools, this conversation offers a ground-level perspective on MBA placements, roles, and long-term career growth.
