Hi there,

I have 3.5 years of IT engineering experience and am considering transitioning to consulting. However, I don't have an MBA. Is this switch feasible? If so, what skills and experiences should I highlight on my CV? Are there any certifications or courses that would help?

I appreciate any advice or insights!

I am very fascinated by Management Consulting and been speaking with ex consultants. All of them are critical of it, but agree the money is good 🤤

Need advice 

- Do these companies take lateral hires? I have seen only IIM candidates freshly graduated being taken in
I'm not IIM, but MBA with 6 years of work ex

- MBB have shittiest WLB and highest money. Which comes down as per tier. Which is the best tier to get into, so I have best of both worlds (less shitty WLB with lesser money)

Hi,
I am working in an mnc as a software developer since 2 years after graduating from a top tier IIT. But I don’t see myself doing this in the next 5 years.
Should I do an MBA from top tier IIM college? I know it will not be beneficial in short term but in long term is it a good idea? 
Anyone from similar backgrounds do share your experience.

Welcome to Moving Abroad's Private Community

[Background] 25. M. I'm a mechanical engineer and realized early during college that I'm not cut out for mechanical engineering domain. Switched to analytics domain right after college. 

[Current Experience] 4 YOE in an analytics firm based out of India catering to 2 major Fortune 100 companies. Leading a 10 member analytics team, directly responsible for problem solving, solution design, stake holder management etc. 

[Thoughts] Loved being an IC during early stage of career. Found it interesting to get into the rabbit hole of designing solutions and executing the solutions. 

Off late, really like being a lead and focusing on multiple problems at the same time. Little far for executing the solutions, bu focusing of understanding the porblem and designing solutions and letting the team execute it.

Right now, confused about what I want to do next. 

[Request] Thinking of pursing a MS(DS/ML) or MBA(Analytics) for more exposure. Thoughts or suggestion welcomed.

How valuable is an online MBA from an institution like NMIMS in comparison with a full time MBA. In terms of value, exposure, financial returns etc.

How valuable is an online MBA, would be nice if you can give a rough comparison with a full time MBA.

Hi All, 

I’ll start with ‘About Myself’ -
I have 4-years of experience working in a Fintech organisation as a Software Engineer. But .. I hate it. Early in the college itself, I identified that I’m not strong technically (coding, DSA, and all), but, I’m quite good at Consulting / Management / Leadership roles. However, as always, under the peer pressure of my friends, family, and relatives too (yup, I know what you’re thinking) .. I still opted for a Technical line of work.

I realised it early itself that in most of the organisations, DS Algorithms and all won’t be needed. I was asked to work on a specific technology as per my team’s requirements and I did the best possible. I even indulged myself into the the then hot-topic ‘Cloud Computing’. Now, I am a hard-working person and damn I impressed everyone in my team. I’ve received countless awards and appreciations, quarter by quarter. And I’m currently acting as an Unofficial Technical Lead (with just 4 years experience in an MNC) for a team of almost 40 people, helping them with their work and tasks (which I’ve mastered already). But, my own personal growth here has taken a toll as now I am no longer developing anything myself, and neither is my Unofficial role of much value when I look for opportunities elsewhere.

My personal interests are into Management / Consulting roles. I’m even planning and preparing for an MBA degree from outside India next year to pursue the same.

However, till then, my question is .. HOW DO I SWITCHOVER from this technical line of work to Consulting / business / management line of roles (considering the difficulties of me being inexperienced in that line as of today on paper .. and a shift from 4 years of Technical experience to 0 years of Consulting / Management experience should be profitable).

Open to all suggestions and arguments.

The Switchover Problem

Welcome to IT Company Discussion's Private Community

I'm thinking that I haven't utilised my full potential and left behind from folks around me . 
Right now I'm 27 and earning 22LPA as an SDE. 
I'm constantly worried how can I earn better or make some skills which can bring some money too as IT industry is not stable. 
So what could be best for me to do : 
My strong point is if I focus on one thing I can put more efforts into that work. 

The options that I could think: 

1. Work on my tech skills and get into High paying IT job .
2. Pick one Govt exam and get any govt job . I'm thinking of SEBI grade A exam .
3. Pick up any skills like video editing start freelancing.
4.Prepare for MBA that might help me in longer run in corporate . 


Guys can you suggest which one area should I select and why . As if I focus on more than one I won't be able to fullfill any.

Want to level up career and finances

Can a fresher get into management consulting, if yes then how…

Consulting

Hi all, I'm an MBA graduate with a degree in marketing and operations. I recently joined Cognizant as a business development analyst, and I'm really enjoying the role. However, I'm also interested in switching to a business analyst or business consultant role I'm particularly interested in cloud consulting, as I'm already certified in AWS and I'm currently pursuing
a Professional AWS certification. I'm looking for some advice and suggestions on what other roles I could switch to.
TIA
