What are some of the trending careers in finance which your students have shown a high degree of interest in recent times and how do you advise them to approach it?
Some of the trending careers in finance are commercial banking, credit analysis, equity and fixed income research, investment banking, private equity and venture capital, alternative investments analysis, and investment, risk management, private banking & wealth management and quantitative finance, etc. My advice will be to hone the quantitative, analytical, and computational skills and take on challenging career opportunities.
MBA Aspirants looking to specialize in Finance mostly end up contemplating if they should opt for Internationally recognized certifications like CFA & FRM. What would you suggest to these students?
As a matter of fact, I always advise my students who are serious and want to pursue high finance careers to enroll, along with PGDM/MBA, for internationally acclaimed certifications like CFA, FRM/PRM, or CFP, etc. So, it always helps to first get yourself acquainted with the basics and at the same time get certifications to enhance your knowledge. Getting the best of both worlds is the key.
According to you, does the future career opportunities for MBA graduates lie in the BFSI domain and how can the required skillsets be developed during a postgraduate program?
In my opinion, future career opportunities for MBA graduates aiming to make a career in the BFSI sector lie in big data analytics, AI & ML, risk management, private banking & wealth management. So the students need to acquire skills in the areas of AI & ML, risk management, predictive modelling, and quantitative finance while pursuing their PGDM/MBA programme from any institute. The BIFS program at GIM Goa is equipped with course material that can help students prepare for the future of finance roles.
