Engineer inclined towards finance

Specifically a question to all the t1 tech clg grads (mainly software engineers) earning 1l+ pm out of clg with a lot of scope for growth. Post mba avg salary is 1.5l per month. I can understand ppl desperate for a career change and non tech ppl who are underpaid and don't really have ab option but it baffles me why well paid folks would shell out 30lakhs kr take the burden of loan just to learn how to appear smarter than you actually are instead of investing it for a meagre salary increase that can be achieved by job switches. I'd love to hear any insights about ppl who've already been in the space. Why u did, salary PRE post sector etc

How to transition from IT (insurance domain ) business analyst to finance business analyst ?what skills are needed ? What certifications should be done ?

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. .

I am into engineering and making decent money (28 LPA fixed + ESOPs) and I am very happy with my job. Given my work, I expect decent raise in coming years. But I think doing CAT preparation and doing MBA preparation will give me better opportunities and will grow me as high value person. Anyone (especially people in engg) with preparation experience or how is the life changed after MBA?

What should my strategy be if I want to 4x my current salary (let's say go from 7LPA to approx 30LPA) in the next 4-5 years? Is this a realistic expectation to have moving forward? With regards to my work ex; I started off my career with sales, worked for 7 months, left the job, upskilled myself a little bit and landed a product manager role. So in total I have about a year of experience (7 months in sales and rest out it as a pm). Also I have a engineerring background and have also completed my MBA, both of them from tier 2 colleges.

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

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
