Have thought about this for a year now..no breakthrough. till i realised its impossible for me to figure this out, only guys who are in such roles where i wanna be or know such guys can tell me what it takes to get there...
would really appreciate your inputs---A novice

With one yr of experience if you get into IIM, do you think companies are going to recruit you as managers?

My *many friends frm IIMs, are doing the same what I am doing. and some are even writing HTML pages. With one yr of experience if you get into IIM, do you think companies are going to recruit you as managers? either you would be assisting BD team in making proposals making excel file or in techie field you would be writing jsps
But in long term, yeah it's going to help you if you looking for VP or any equivalent position in an organization.
Many company infact requires MBA degree as an eligibilty.
But I do agree, an IIM tag alone is going to reward you more than what you learn there, take my words on that

This is not to put you down, but in my opinion, a 40-50 lakhs job for a person with 4-5 yrs experience is impossible, whatever may be his skillsets. I would think that to command such an amount, u must have 15-20 yrs of experience alongwith exceptional skillsets, going by today's standards. Curious to know what others think.

Hi,
I totally agree with Soniya. Its not possible to earn 40 to 50 lakhs after 4 or 5 yrs in India in technology area. At the same time I know people(atleast 2) who moved into trading desk from technology and earning much more than above amount in UK( where I'm working ). You may earn close to the above amount if you get an opportunity to become a trader or some thing like that in investment banks in India if they outsource trading jobs.

Hi,
Stock markets is just one area but there are so many other areas where trading happens like bond markets, money markets( T-bills etc), FX, derivatives( interest rate, credit, equity, commodity). I dont know how active the derivatives and FX markets in India at present. I'm sure they will pickup in few years time.
The people which I was refering earlier worked as developers initially and acquired good business knowledge and moved into trading desk when they got an opportunity. They are doing pretty well in that role.
Just stick to one business area, learn as much as possible and move into business role when you get an opportunity.

Asit,
Yes they worked for few years on the applications supporting the business before moving into their new role.
If you work on applications that are supporting particular business for few yrs, you will learn some % of domain knowledge. Its not that much hard to learn business concepts if you show interest and put some extra effort. Infact its easy b.coz your day to day activity involves talking to business analysts, ops people, experienced collegues, PL/PMs( who are in the business for several years) and some times with the traders if your role also involves supporting the application.
