Salary issues In Marketing

I recently left my previous job, it was College Placement. However, I got an offer letter from a big four company but it did not meet my salary expectations at all, I tried to negotiate but they did not budge. My previous salary was about 8 LPA and they were offering 4 LPA for a similar role. I rejected the offer and took up a founder's office internship in my hometown. But now when I've worked for about a year, I feel shameful when I ask my parents for money but the internship does not pay well as well. Does anyone have any suggestions? PS: I've tried applying for jobs, but I'm not keen on going to metro cities at all. I would love to have a remote job but I'm not finding suitable and relevant roles. :(

Overview: Everyone around me, be it old school friends to the people in the bangalore startup ecosystem are planning to or already in the process of doing an MBA. What is happening: Most of the people I know, either are going for a tier 1 MBA in India or colleges like “Carnegie Mellon”/ “INSEAD”/ “NUS” these are really good places. Why am I concerned: I dont have great acade, GEM candidate so I have decided to not pursue CAT at all, and MBA outside India is too expensive. I feel like my job and career are going fine with 4 years of professional experience I am making 25LPA in marketing. I am not keen on doing an MBA but I dont want to regret later. I consider myself to be fairly smart but what happens when I am competing with people who have great brand names on their resume and are actually smart. People on GV with more experience, have you gone through this struggle? Sidenote: I also have friends who have cleared IIM ABC, ISB and not gone, because they just wanted the admit letter. Which is brave lol!

I currently work at a real estate marketplace startup and look after content, SEO, and executing facebook abd google ads. I don’t have any marketing degree yet. Whatever I’ve learnt, it’s on the job. I’m thinking of pursuing distance MBA, since I don’t want to leave my job. Another thought is to take up online courses by ed-tech institutions. Can someone guide me please?

Haven't come across one fruitful contribution of the MBA to the human race. Change my mind.

Hello grapevine folks, I am a 2024 batch btech Cse , general male candidate from IIIT( 10 year old). Class 12th - 97% (ISC) Class 10th - 96.4% (ICSE) Btech Cgpa - 9.415 (till 6th sem) I am thinking of giving CAT next year but in dilemma that should I go for work experience or not . As iims do prefer people having work experience. And what percentile should I aim for getting admission in old IIMs. Thanks in advance.

Hope this post reaches everyone well. I'm a final year engineering undergrad student from a core branch in a Tier 2 college. I'll cut to the chase - I hate my degree and want to switch over to DIgital Marketing. I recently completed a two month digital marketing internship in an arm of a retail brand. This was to test the waters; to see if I actually like Digital Marketing or just the idea of it. Turns out, it's pretty fun. While the tasks were mundane, I handled basic stuff like on-page SEO tactics, LOTS of content writing and a market analysis of our competitors. I wanted to also venture into other domains (like Performance Marketing and Brand Management), but I wasn't given the chance to do so. Coming to the topic, what do I do from here? Look up case studies? A remote intership (which I'm unsure if I can handle with college)? And what exactly does 'build a portfolio' entail? And yes, I know the market is in the doldrums right now. This might be the worst time to embark on a career in Marketing, but I need to bet on myself now. I've started applying for internships (January-July, leads appreciated!), and need guidance from someone elder than me on how to navigate the situation I'm in. Apologies for any errors. TLDR: Engineering student hates his degree (nothing new), loves Digital Marketing, needs guidance from someone senior to figure out a path towards an alternate career.

Is MBA worth at this age while funding your two years through a loan. Bg: B.com graduate from a tier 5 college lol (CA dropout ig that explains the clg choice)

Which companies will pay around 15 LPA CTC in these domains? I am a final year MBA student with experience at Deloitte Consulting. I want to move into these domains but I'm from a tier 2 college. Where can I find the best opportunities?

I am already Product Manager. With salary same as avg ISB graduate salary. I am 31 years old. Should I do it ? Or keep pursuing the job hunt ?
