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
No, Engg grads have loads of free time available.
You can attempt CFA while doing engg. and crack it while simultaneously prepping for CAT.
You can also directly go for MBA post Engg., give CFA L2 when in first year and secure a finance job.
Thank you for suggestion
Hope you the best too
Which college is this?
Coep
What year are you in ?
For masters (MBA), you need your bachelors to be cleared as a basic requirement and I agree with the path mentioned by @Borosil_Carrier .
Its a good idea to work on...... and there is no going back if you drop from your undergraduate course.
As we always get inspired by those we idolize as successful but there are thousands and lacs who get stuck and having your engineering degree might just help you sharpen your analytical mind which will come handy in your finance dreams.
Think over it and try connecting with a few people who have done engineering followed by finance and then take a call .
But speak to more and more people ... it like data gathering for your analysis (Financial world relies on it :)
