Is it possible to get into the finance sector(like financial analyst at HSBC) just after B.Tech. without MBA?? |
I don't want to do MBA .. though I can ... coz i can't give 2 more year of my life due to some personal problem .. but I want to get in to the finance stream ... there could be lots of courses.. which can help me in this concern.. I want to work for Big banks ... Big company .. like meakensy ...what should I do?? right now I m working in a big Multinational company as a software engineer after completing my B.Tech. from a very very good institute of our country... I m having one year experience. any one can help me in this concern.... Firstly, I have never heard of any "Meakensy" in the Financial Services industry -- I assume that you meant the (strategy) Management Consulting firm "McKinsey." McKinsey is the premier MC firm in the world, and if I may be blunt, your profile doesn't even come close to getting you in the door there. (If all you have is a bachelor's degree, you're incredibly lucky if they even consider you if you're not the top of your class from Harvard, and even if you do have a MBA, you'd better be from a top 20 program, and have stellar grades or a GND policy working for you.) Secondly, if all you want to do is work for a "big bank," I suppose you could always try to get a job as a teller. But it sounds like you want to be at a Bulge Bracket and have a title above Janitor, so again I have to be blunt and say that without prior experience or a Masters, you're most likely out of luck. Alright, so so far, I've been pretty mean (and realistic). But here's what you do if you want to have a legitimate shot anywhere: 1. Get a MBA or a Master of Finance from a top school in the country that you want to work in, or the country that the company that you eventually want to work in is headquartered in. (e.g. if you want to work for Goldman Sachs, go to Harvard or Stanford or Wharton or U. Chicago; if you want to work for Barclays, go to LSE or Oxford or maybe even INSEAD.) 2. If you don't get a Masters, at the very LEAST take the CFA exams. The Chartered Financial Analyst is really the only credential that will get you an interview at any investment bank if you don't have a Masters degree. 3. Take any job that you can get in any bank and try to work your way up the ladder. If you work at a boutique bank, and climb the ladder high enough, you *might* be able to make a lateral transfer into the Bulge Bracket, and be rewarded with an entry level job, and get to work 100 hours a week for $60k per year. That's it. Those are basically your only options if you ever want to do anything real in finance, unless you win the lottery and use the money to start your own hedge fund. Basically, if you really want to do this, suck it up and go back to school. |
