Hey peeps 👋🏻 

I'm a software engineer but I had a deep interest in finance. S how can I get into Finance roles like IB and analyst. So right now I have given NISM certification test but thinking about CFA but that is really one of its dedication resources like money and time both required so slightly skeptical about giving it 

awaiting your suggestions guys

Welcome to Indian Startups's Private Community

I m a student currently pursuing  btech in entc from 1 of the top prestigious  college in pune. When i pass out i can easily get 14 lpa (my batch's avg package ) i m avg in academics but always know what i am doing. But my goals are diff i m planning to make a switch into finance and get into either a vc or pe role or even the sell side investment role is fine for me. The bare minimum is i will work at a startup in finance or marketing role. But i dont want to do enggineering dont know why i never liked it and feel trapped here. I have no finance or accountin experience or core knowledge i have learned few things from internent but i dont think thats enough. I m planning to attempt cfa and give various sebi registered certification exams like research  analyst , aifa etc . And then by getting 2/3 years exp i will even try for mba at iims. Am i on the right path on my career please provide your opinion or guidance . 


Thank you

Am i doing good by leaving enggineering?

Welcome to Business Roles's Private Community

I am an engineering student in Bangalore 
I have read about different jobs in first year and now I am getting really interested in finance. 
I have no interest in core engineering and tech and Consulting is difficult to get into right after undergraduate.
But I am feeling really under confidence to jump into it , I feel I am making a wrong decision. 
I have seen people who did only finance related internships in their engineering but they are from IITs .
Any engineer who switched to finance here can share your experience ? 
I got interested in finance after reading about PE , VC , investing.

Need suggestions on how to switch from IT to Finance. 

Any one who has experienced the same process please comment.

Should continue in IT or switch to Finance

I am 22, currently looking to shift to finance and investment related role. I have CFA L1 and CMA US certificates. Recommendations for companies I could probably look out for (Bangalore preferably).

Welcome to Product Managers's Private Community

Is there any skills pay more than 40 LPA except any coding skills. I am into SAP and willing to learn any other skills.

Application Development Team Lead

I'm a chem engineer with MBA in Finance (Tier 2 cllg). While pursuing my MBA I had two priorities clear - 1. Dont want a sales role & 2. Don't want to join a tech company (not exactly good with tech stack). As luck would have it, I joined IBM few months ago in a sales role 🥲
Since then I have been thinking a lot about my future. I need some external advice as I am already biased against the sales role -
1. In a situation like mine, should one immediately switch profile if possible or get some experience in sales before trying to switch?
2. Is it even possible to make the switch if I spend a couple of years here?
3. How difficult it is to make the switch to finance roles (financial analyst or similar) without a CFA and solely on MBA finance? I'm prepping for CFA but will appear next year post April. 

TIA

Sales

Hey folks. 
I am a PM with 1 YOE. 

I make a lot of unforced errors and have been in bad situations because of poor communication too. Although, I try my best to communicate everything and anything. The founder just hear me speak and not to hear specifically. 

I am gradually feeling, that maybe I am not good enough to survive in this role. 

On the other hand, I am pretty much interested in finance. Am above average in hard skills named as Financial Modelling, Financial Statement Analysis, Deal Structuring and Valuation Techniques. I read pre IPO papers to understand more about industries and sectors. Do financial modelling for the same companies to check if I am on the right track or not. 

How can I switch to a finance role maybe?  Or what other fields should I explore to get out of this. I have graduation in BTech. 

P. S. - Need some serious help. Thanks in advance.

Welcome to IT Company Discussion's Private Community

I am 22 years old , graduated from a tier 2.5 university , just getting started with my first job as SWE( Data science) at a top USA based MNC from the Bangalore office. I have plans to pursue masters after gaining 2 years of work experience. Interested to pursue masters in financial engineering or quant related discipline. 
Should I give CFA to increase my chances of selection in those courses ? Also any recommendations or resources to get into quant area.

Decision to give CFA

Software Engineer

I am currently in my final year, at one of the top commerce colleges in India. Pursuing Bachelor in Commerce and will also appear for my CFAL1 exam in November. 

I worked really hard for placement season, a few IB firms were expected to come but it doesn't look like they'll be hiring given the economic scenario. 

If someone holds any position in such roles like IB, Private Equity, Equity Research etc. could they please tell what I could work on and what the industry requirements are from a fresher? 

Also how do I go about applying off-campus, since I don't believe I'll be getting many opportunities On-Campus?

Getting into Core Finance Roles

Finance Consultant

Hi,

Am from tech background have 10+ years of experience. Have goal/interest in managing a mid size company with around 1000+ employee as a CXO professional in coming 5 years.

I know this is not easy as someone who has no exposure in finance/marketing/sales etc because tech itself is not enough to run a business and sales and finance experience is also required for it.

What all resources in finance should I delve into depth so that I can understand minutes of business so that someone like me from a tech background can somehow think of target to run a business and prepare for it.

Can not go for top mba so kindly suggest me something so that I can learn and do it through self study.

TIA

Suggest resources to delve deeper into finance.

I'm in my final year. Commerce Grad. CFA L1 cleared.

What are the potential finance roles I could be looking at Big4s?

Also any information on any Finance Vacancies would be highly appreciated!

Hi.

I'm a 9yr exp full stack engineer. Have done webdev mostly.
Currently earning around 30lpa
I want a job change because:
1. More money
2. Bored of webdev

I was looking around and HFT seemed interesting to me. I haven't done my full research on it, but from what little I have done, it seems like it is a very niche vertical requiring highly skilled folks and also we don't have HFT companies in India?

Anyways, I'm not fixated on HFT, that's just one avenue I explored.

I just want some better paying programming job where I can feel livelier. For eg., when I do complex DB queries for debugging and reports, or digging and parsing logs to find patterns and debugging, or optimizing some piece of code to squeeze more performance out of it.

I am fine with writing basic routine to make bucks but it's not fulfilling.

Please advise how to go about my career progression in a fulfilling way.

Welcome to Consulting's Private Community

Graduated from NMIMS in 2023- BSc Finance. Interned at some marquee IB firms and startups. 

Working at an NBFC in an MD's office role- Strategy Consultant since then.

Having done multiple projects for the company, I now want to switch to a consulting company where I can have a more diversified set of projects. 

But the market being the way it is, I'm not able to find reasonably good opportunities on LinkedIn. 

How do I go about the whole thing then? Would be grateful for any suggestion or referrals.
