The Dilemma of a fresh MBA

Perspectives change with time! and the story is no different at IBS, Bangalore. Most of us (if not all) wished to reach high in carrer by boarding the MBA bandwagon. Some were crystal clear in their career choices while others wandered.

Now as we all get closer to the D-days!, apprehensions are growing as never before. Questions like What industry to choose? Which company, what profile? Should I bother about the 6 figure package or focus on job profile?? The list goes on and on....but I should reckon here that some of the fellas are just too brillinat. Also there's no gainsaying the fact that many can make it big in their respective fileds.

I wish we could peep inside the HR manager's mind around to know what is that they want from young lads like us. But honestly even that would'nt help the purpose....for the onus task of shaping ones career lies with us. If we aren't sure what excites us...what challenges we would like to take and above all what are we good at, I don't think we can do justice to whatever career we choose. I know the task is'nt that simple but the we already knew that it never was!

I have always believed " Salvation lies within!" and one who seeks it,finds it! A few hours of self evaluation or what we popularly know as Introspection, would definitely help us know ourselves better. It would also tune our thought process. Talks with seniors and mentors is an inevitable solution to the common problem. How can we forget the "Lord of the Web", Google!. A few hours of clicks on some colorful pages could clear most of the doubts. It takes more of self preparation than anything else.

All of us know that it is never too late to begin but in this quick paced age sometimes it does get late! Let us do our homework for there is no better investment than investing in one-self!!

Happy investing!
