Never ending question with never ending answer. This is more evident to the young minds who are off the college and don’t know what to do next. Reality of life is totally different than our school/college days. Most of us spend our days happily because of our parents. But as soon as your study got over it’s time to take care of yourself. We always have the dilemma of what to do ? Though we have lot’s of options now a days but competition are more too. Lets categorize the options ..
1. Move to IT /BPO
2. MBA after graduation/ having work exp
3. Join Service Industry
4. Govt/Private jobs other than IT
5. Do something different..
Career shift to IT are the most preferred options now a days. The attractive pay package, Corporate culture with comfortable work schedule, future prospects, flying high are the main key for this. But you need skills, mindset to excel. Getting a job in this segment for fresher’s is always tough, You need to try harder and has to be ready to stretch more in the initial days. The underlying base for this segment evolves day by day, so people needs to keep them updated with the latest happening in this area to sustain themselves as competition grows day by day.
For BPO it’s a different ball game. You need communication skills and has to be agreed to work in odd hours. For non-engineering graduate this was a welcome change. Now lots of engineering graduates too works in that segment in various position from junior level to senior level stuffs.
After you are settled in your own field, its time to climb up the ladder. And there you may need additional skills, although its not necessary always. A loyal and smart worker in any company will surely get the higher positions after a certain periods of time. Only catch is, it may take a very long time. But it’s not true for different business verticals where you need to know underlying business prospects, history and the managing trade offs. Then you need additional skills like MBA (Master of Business Administration). There are numerous institution available, however it will surely paid off if you get your MBA from the reputed institutions like IIM. Globalization seems change this also. Lots of Universities from all over the world tap for Indian student, it’s a very lucrative business from them and good for us too. You will get international exposure and all together different environment rather than Indian Universities. And if all goes well you could be end up working abroad with your dream company. But it requires a good GMAT score, work experience, scholarship or finance from Bank. It’s a bit costly affair. Amit (http://wafter.blogdrive.com/) has put a great details on this ‘My take on the B-school apping process’ which can be a very good reference for people who are interested to pursue their MBA.
The next big thing is the Service industry. There are lots of scope there to establish yourself from Retail , Media to Engg Services. You may well get a opportunity in Egg service division after your Engg graduation Or for non engg graduate there are Retails, Media , Entertainment industry which are growing up rapidly. You need a great deal of communication skills , attitude and knowledge of the same industry.
Govt job is not lucrative now a days. Except IAS and IPS which are dream jobs for most of the people. The preparation is so rigorous that most of the aspirants loose the track often. It needs years of preparation, dedication to become an IAS or IPS. Nothing is impossible if you go die hard for this.
