RE: [My Linkedin Power Forum] (Career Advice) Engineer + MBA (Finance) in wrong profile ...

Hi Nirav,

 

It is always pretty difficult to immediately make a career change move. IMO, since you are already in the financial services industry, it should be slightly easier for you to migrate to your new profile in your existing firm depending on the opportunities available in your current organization on these desired lines. You might want to talk to the senior management to see if this is something workable if opportunities are available at least over a period of time.

 

Alternatively, there are a lot of reputed institutions that are available out of India (like ICFAI et. al.) that offer short term crash courses in these areas. You might want to take a look at these courses and see if they match your interests and expectations on doing the career change.

 

Good luck. I hope that you are able to quickly move into a job profile that you find very challenging!!

Subject: [My Linkedin Power Forum] (Career Advice) Engineer + MBA (Finance) in wrong profile ...

 

Hi everyone,

To give a brief intro of me, I am an electrical engineer and an MBA in
Finance from Mumbai, India. I have been working in sales function in
financial services firm (sales of insurance, mutual funds,etc.) since
last year. I am not very interested in sales profile, but am not
getting profile matching my skills and qualifications. My desired
profile happens to be into investment banking, corporate finance,
equity research, strategic and corporate planning.

When I apply to such profiles, I get very very few interview calls,
which unfortunately I have not been able to crack.

So I am kind of stuck, not getting desired profile and not interested
in current (sales) profile.

I would be grateful if anyone can provide me some pointers/suggestions
for same.

Thanks and regards,
Nirav Dadhania.
