Welcome to Business Roles's Private Community

I am currently studying at one of IIM LKI. I have a CGPA of 7.3 in undergrad and I think Big 4 keeps a cut off of 8 CGPA. If I apply after passing out will they have the same criteria???

Consulting Big 4

Tier 2 mba college. Mom engineer. Should pick up a course or something? Suggestions and comments welcome!

How can one get into consulting

Business Development Manager

I am a 2022 engineer graduate from a tier 1 uni, with a work ex of one year. I was working as an APM and was laid off recently and have been thinking of giving CAT to pursue MBA, hoping the market is better by the time I graduate from MBA.

Plan B in case I am not able to crack a decent IIM is coming back to job market. By the time this happens I will have at-least a 4 month gap on my resume already.

What do you think will be the impact of this gap on my resume? Should I just focus on getting a job? What are your insights?

4-5 months break after one year work-ex.

Product Manager

I was wondering if a person with 12 years and above experience in a manager position with a consulting firm or a product manager in a product firm should opt for an Executive MBA? 

Will it add more finesse to the person's career skills or is it just for the sake of a tag?

MBA prep

Growth Manager

Hi everyone,

I'm an engineering undergraduate who has just finished my second year, and I have 1.5 months of vacation ahead. I've long been interested in investment banking and feel that now is the time to start taking concrete steps. However, I'm uncertain about where and how to begin. I've purchased the "Breaking into Wall Street" and "Wall Street Prep" courses. Could someone with experience in this field advise me on how to maximize the benefits of these courses? I understand that investment banking is highly competitive and that no course or certification can guarantee an internship at a Bulge Bracket firm. My expectations are realistic; my immediate goal is to secure an internship at a small/mid-market or boutique firm during the winter break to gain some experience. From there, I hope to eventually pivot to other firms.

My university isn't very well-known, and I don't have strong connections in the industry, which has been discouraging. The job market in India, much like elsewhere, doesn't have a well-developed culture for non-target schools. Though I have experience of cold emailing, using Apollo etc as used it a lot during my college clubs.

Any insights on what and how to learn, whether these courses are necessary for an intern-level position, attaching the images of the courses I have and can any of you suggest to me in what order I begin and is all even required just to get an intern that too in a boutique or mid-market bank?

If you can help me with a bit structured guidance, I would be immensely grateful, sharing my dummy mail; mymail8795@gmail.com 

Thank you.

Edit: My 12 isn't that strong and I'm a GEM hence not considering the CAT route.

Investment Banking Intern; Advice

Try to avoid asking questions which can doxx me on LinkedIn (that's where I post a little)

See if you can focus on asking questions around principles & not masala stories

Problem with masala stories is that you'll learn the wrong things from my narratives

This will be fun I think

Mention your current CTC with Years of experience. People will tell if need to switch.

UX/UI Designer

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

Am I being overpaid?
I am a backend engineer with 7 years of experience. I've been rejected by multiple organizations during salary discussions. They mentioned they can't provide such a high salary. Are my expectations inaccurate?

Current CTC: 45 LPA
Expected CTC: 54 LPA
Designation: Team Lead, Backend

Salary Reflections: Am I Overpaid?

Damn! For the first time, I'm seeing a post related to Overpaid. God bless you.

I am probably earning 2x of what an average T-1 MBA grad makes in India. I'm just not happy in my role and this SDE grind caught me lackin'.

Can you help me determine whether it is still a good bet to get an MBA? Because these normie MBA folks are literally the dumbest people I have seen and I think I can do a better job than them.

Earning 2x of a Tier-1 MBA grad already. Should I still do an MBA?

I joined an MBA program while I was making close to the average salary of post MBA grads. 
  
 Few things to remember: 
  
 1. Opportunity cost of a 2 year MBA is humongous. The PGP at IIMs will cost you a crore+. Imagine trying to get an ROI on it. 
  
 2. PGP at IIMs are filled with freshers and low work experience folks which naturally means there are very few senior roles on offer. So you may not find the right level after MBA. 
  
 3. It's best to restrict yourself to 1 year programs like ISB's PGP and IIM's PGPX. 
  
 4. Be really sure of what you want from the MBA. You can easily switch to SDM or product roles without MBA. Recommend giving that a shot if you are just tired of SDE

Program Manager

Does anyone know if KPMG India's corporate finance and investment banking division has any vacancies for experienced associates (Exp. 0.5-1 year)? I know that they are hiring for Senior associates (Exp. 2-4 years) but don't know about associate level.

Kindly help.
