fineleg Posted October 11, 2007 Share Posted October 11, 2007 Always wanted to do an MBA Lurks, always. And six years of engineering and the struggles that were associated with it has just made me more determined. :D MBA is like a passion for me , not a degree. Interesting MM. Why "always"? did you know about the actual career a lot before so you were always interested? or was it that glamour factor that was talked up by folks around you since young that built an interest?

Why "always"? did you know about the actual career a lot before so you were always interested? or was it that glamour factor that was talked up by folks around you since young that built an interest? I always had an interest for business. Half my engineering was spent watching BBC business reports and other business channels and most of my pocket money would go in buying business magazines. :D No glamour thingy here , its something i had always wanted to do. Missed the CAT in one section. Had the option of working in a top s/w company, but chose to come here since i felt an MBA in a US university will better jump-start my career and give me a more global perspective of things.

living Posted October 11, 2007 Author Share Posted October 11, 2007 Oh no ' date=' i think i have knack of hijacking threads.:confused_smile:[/quote'] YES YOU DO :finger: :D Anyway as of now I'm thinking hang around for a couple of months and get a feel for things (after I graduate). Decide if I want to study further - u know MS, PhD or MBA etc. If I do - then hang around longer and decide again, if no more studying then relocate to Mera Bharat Mahan or in Dubai Dawood ka adda. Obviously there's also a case where in I meet a hot babe :wink_smile: ... and .... well ... you know the rest :tounge_smile: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mandrake Posted October 11, 2007 Share Posted October 11, 2007 "India is developing , but the job market there is still very primitive and IT based. You definately dont get the same variety , both in terms of length and breadth , of jobs in India , as you do in western countries. Atleast not for another decade. " MM...interesting you say that.I don't know much about non-IT jobs but I know many people in IT who went back to India after many years in the US because they felt that they had lot more variety and interesting job descriptions in India. Lots of good high value chain work is now being done out of India..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They do have VERY remunerative and challenging jobs nowadays. But there isnt a lot of options for freshers like me. Yes , if one is interested in working in technology , there are some good research positions opening in India now too , but as far as IT/management is concerned , the Indian marker is STILL very nascent and evolving.

fineleg Posted October 11, 2007 Share Posted October 11, 2007 "Hang around and decide" is the X+1 syndrome. Will be there in US for one more year, then 'maybe' I'll leave. Then x = x+1 Then trophy wife or not, kids will be born, and then they grow up, then they become teenagers and bring a firaangi bf or gf home, and you'll be like "We are going back to India right now" and then the teenager will be like :finger: Alrite, Alrite, movie over.

living Posted October 11, 2007 Author Share Posted October 11, 2007 haha that movie ain't going to happen, unless I can get together with this really awesome girl i my college. Though its not going to happen - shes way out of my league :( Anyway, my idea is that I should at least work for 6-8 months to get some experience and to give me an edge over other people in the job market :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
