Dear Sirs’, I am in my 3rd year of integrated 5 years law course. I was pondering over the options to make a successful career in law. I understand, we have Lower Judiciary, upper judiciary, PSU, Banks and Advocacy with a selection grade to Judiciary. The issue: Options: 1) Judiciary: Lower Judiciary - Given the trend, the selection for upper Judiciary is quite negligible and take a considerable amount of years of your life. 2) Upper Judiciary: India does not have process of selection to Additional Session Judge (ADJ) without completing 7 years of Advocacy to be eligible for ADJ. nor any National level Judiciary exam for such selection after passing from law school. 3) PSU: A mundane process of work like a corporate and not sure, how challenging or exciting as a career option. Just a time scale career stability. 4) Banks: Apart from RBI, which has another level of selection process - meaning quite an extent of separate study from present law course and is a rated option, the other banks law officer is again mundane as in PSU's. 5) Advocacy is something which 1st generation lawyers might need a best of mentors to make to selection grade of Judiciary. 6) Indian Laws firms and Magic circle : May pl guide on the process of internship in magic circle law firms and is it a good to have internship outside of India or better to have in Indian Law Firms. Given the above, what’s the best career move and options as this is one of the profession, wherein name and fame comes later in life, however adding a right career path just adds catalyst, then having instability in your prime years of life.

Ans: Dear N,
I am happy to see that you have a clarity of your career.
Since you have a clarity, pursue the same based on your gut feeling, plan and strategy. The career can be built in Judiciary, PSU and Banks as well as in private firms. The important point is to start with a professional setup in any one of the above as an intern, rest depends upon your hard work and luck.

Hello, sir. I founded a home decor brand 2 years ago and we are just starting to gain traction in the market. We sell across multiple channels - B2B, B2C and D2C as well. But as a Founder, one of my weaknesses is the lack of selling skills. Should I focus on building a Business Development team in order to generate consistent sales? Also, how do I get better at selling?

Ans: This is a tough one to answer in brief but I am going to try

Each of these channels- B2B B2C D2C - require different kinds of skills. The customer segments too could be different, perhaps the products/ SKUs too. It is my belief that the founder himself should be a salesperson esp in the initial days(years!). The first key thing is to understand the buyer's key problems and how your product is better at solving it than others in the market including alternatives. While doing this, it is important to understand who exactly is your buyer- in B2B, the buyer may be a hotel or restaurant or an office etc. Which sort of B2B segment are you targeting, how are they currently buying, from who, why, what terms do they purchase, how long is the sales cycle time, typical order value, purchase frequency etc? When it comes to B2C, the game is quite different. Are you selling both offline and online? The methods can change.

It would be useful for you to get a co-founder who has deep sales and marketing experience in this sector or B2C online/ offline. Alternatively, get a consultant who can advise you on the phase wise approach to follow, what metrics to use to track effectiveness, the kind of spend required, and so on.

Pl also reach out to others in the D2C community and understand what is working/ not working for them, the kind of structure they have, the outsourced agencies they use.

It is a process of learning. It would be good for you to get a grasp of it; simultaneously, in order to save on time, energy and money, pl consider a co-founder and /or a suitable consultant to guide you through the process. The appropriate hires can be made as required.

Ans: Hello,

First and foremost, thank you for getting in touch with us. I am glad to hear about your daughter's plans on studying medicine in Germany. As an answer to your query I would like to tell you that owing to Germany’s well-regarded education system and comparatively cheaper tuition fees in contrast to other nations, pursuing medicine in the country can be a wise decision. Nevertheless, remember that the prerequisites for admission may be strict. Overseas students are required to prove their competency in the German language, and for the same they will need to pass tests viz., the DSH or TestDaF. Not just that, your daughter will also need to fulfill academic requirements, and this includes submitting transcripts from high school and a valid bachelor's degree, if applicable. Further entry examinations or interviews may be required by certain universities.

To answer your question pertaining to the fees and other expenses, I would like to let you know that although the tuition fees at public universities in Germany are usually very cheap or completely free, semester fees covering administrative costs and public transportation, are charged by them. Depending on the way of living and location, the costs of living can differ, but one can anticipate paying around Euros 800-1,000 each month.

Next, coming to scholarships, you would be glad to know that there are numerous opportunities available from both private as well as public organizations. Foreign students are offered scholarships by DAAD (German Academic Exchange Service), in addition, financial aid options are frequently offered by universities themselves. The costs of living or tuition fees are covered by these scholarships, at times, it covers both. To enhance your daughter’s chances of obtaining funding, I would recommend that she conducts an extensive study and begins applying well in advance as the prerequisites and process of application between universities may vary.

Will this choice prove valuable in terms of job prospects? Could you also address any challenges non-locals might face when seeking employment in this field in a foreign country? Additionally, would it be advisable to consider taking additional courses to enhance settlement opportunities in a foreign country?

Ans: Hello Shuja,

To begin with, thank you for contacting us. I am glad to know that your daughter is currently pursuing her Bachelor’s degree majoring in Psychology, and then wishes to pursue her Master’s abroad. To answer your question first, I would like to tell you that a plethora of employment opportunities both, locally as well as internationally can be provided by a Psychology major particularly when combined with a master's degree. You would be happy to know that your daughter could pursue a profession in counseling, research, human resources, or perhaps academia, with a Master’s degree. Remember, the competitiveness of the labor market, differs by region and individual professional path within the field of Psychology, and for that reason, I would recommend that your daughter builds strong networks, engages in internship opportunities, as well as acquires hands-on experience during the course of her study, as doing so will enhance her chances to a great extent.

Bear in mind that finding work in a different country can be difficult owing to work visa requirements, cultural barriers, as well as local certification or licensing procedures. I would like to tell you that applicants from outside the country may face challenges due to language barriers or a lack of knowledge of the local work culture. Your daughter, in order to boost her employability and facilitate her settlement, could pursue further education or credentials in the language, legal system, or specific fields of psychology in the country of her choosing. In addition, I would recommend that she takes up volunteering work, internships, or part-time employment in the field of psychology in her preferred country as this may provide insightful information and useful connections. Lastly, to facilitate a seamless transition and enhanced employment opportunities, your daughter should conduct an extensive study on the particular needs and possibilities of the target foreign nation.

Hello, i recently completed my graduation Btech in CSE. I am currently looking for job but not getting any interview calls(i got less than 60 in 12th but I have 80cpga in btech). Can I get an job or can I pursue master?

Ans: I understand your concern and there are several options for you

1. Ensure your resume highlights your skills, projects, and any internships or relevant experiences during your B.Tech.

2. Broaden your job search and apply to a variety of companies. Don't limit yourself to specific industries or roles.

3. Consider obtaining relevant certifications in your field. Certifications can boost your resume and demonstrate your expertise.

4. If possible, look for internships or entry-level positions. These experiences can be a stepping stone to a full-time job.

5. Allocate time to prepare for entrance exams. Many master's programs, especially in computer science, may require you to take exams like the GRE or GMAT.

6. Research master's programs that align with your career goals. Look for programs that have a strong curriculum and faculty in your area of interest.

Ans: This seems more like a mental health professional query than a career one. I will still try to address it as best as I can

First off, I would suggest you to seek professional help. Experiencing such symptoms may be indicative of mental health concerns that require assessment and treatment.

Secondly, Career is a secondary issue here. You need to understand that Mental health is an integral part of overall wellness.

If you're unsure how to proceed or if you're concerned about her safety, consider reaching out to a mental health crisis line or contacting a mental health professional for guidance. They can provide advice on how to approach the situation and help ensure she receives the support she needs.

Toll free number 1800-599-0019 can be called from any mobile or land line of any telecom network from any part of India.

My son completed BE civil engineering in 2023. He is an introvert. Mostly likes to play cricket or else stays at home all the day listening to the online classes related ssc exams or CAT classes. But he does not have any exact plan regarding to the future. Just want a simple life without any goals and dreams nor he shares anything with us. Please help me with your advise?

Ans: This is a much more common question than you would think.

It's not uncommon for individuals, especially recent graduates, to feel uncertain about their future.

I would suggest to:
A. Initiate conversations about his interests, concerns, and any potential career paths he may be considering.

B. Encourage him to explore different fields, hobbies, or activities that align with his interests. This could help him discover potential career paths or areas of passion.

C. Consider arranging for career counseling or guidance services. Professionals in this field can help individuals identify their strengths, interests, and potential career paths.

D. Given his interest in online classes related to SSC exams or CAT, encourage him to continue learning and developing skills. This could open up new opportunities and help him discover his strengths.

E. You may want to share stories of your own journey and the uncertainties you may have faced in your career, emphasizing that it's normal to evolve and change paths over time.

I would love to hear more!

My Son has got 1yr MBA admission in UK in University of Buckingham. It cost about 25 to 35 Lakhs for the studies and living cost. After MBA, he would get visa for working there, but no campus recruitment. Can I know whether doing MBA in UK is worth spending this much money? What about job opportunities at UK after his MBA? What is the feedback on MBA from University of Buckingham? How to proceed, kindly advise.

Ans: Congrats for this.

The job market in entire Europe is highly competitive and, while the opportunities may be enough, getting one will depend on a lot of factors - One of which is an MBA.

It also depends on past academic track and communications and other soft skills - Which are evaluated at a more rigid standard than in India

To gather specific information about the University of Buckingham and its MBA program, you may want to:
1. Contact the university's admissions office for detailed program information.
2. Connect with current students or alumni to get their perspectives.
3. Attend any virtual or in-person information sessions organized by the university.
4. Research online forums or social media groups where students discuss their experiences.

You need to remember that the validity of degrees, from abroad, might need additional scrutiny in case your son is planning to return immediately after his MBA.

Can a electrical engineering graduate with MBA project Management apply for position of project manager in IT? What are the skills I may require?

Ans: Of course you can, especially considering you have an MBA in project Management.

If you don't have them already, you may consider obtaining project management certifications such as PMP (Project Management Professional) or PRINCE2 (Projects IN Controlled Environments) to enhance your credibility as a project manager.

Your MBA in project management will provide you with a strong foundation in project management principles, methodologies, and best practices. Familiarity with project management frameworks such as Agile, Scrum, or Kanban would be particularly useful in the IT industry.

Question by Mahesh - Oct 15, 2023Translate

My Son, in class 10th wanted to pursue his career in Law/Legal abroad after 10+2. With AI coming big way, I think Law/Legal will have huge impact. Please suggest if it has bright future or may be very challenging ? Also, help me understand what is the path available to pursue legal studies in countries like Canada, European Countries, Australia etc., Any best Universities you can recommend.

Ans: Hello Mahesh,

To begin with, thank you for contacting us. I am glad to hear about your son’s interest in pursuing a career in Law overseas after he completes his 12th grade. As an answer to your query, I would like to inform you that taking in account the changing landscape of Artificial Intelligence (AI) and its effects on a broad range of professions, including law, your son’s desire to practise law overseas seems encouraging. Remember, with the introduction of technology, major changes are being brought about in the legal arena. Artificial Intelligence (AI) may change some facets of the legal profession, but it also creates new opportunities in areas viz., data privacy, legal tech, and AI ethics in the legal system. It would therefore, seem that the future of law will be both difficult and fruitful, requiring flexibility as well as a fusion of legal knowledge with technical developments.

You would be glad to know that outstanding programs are offered by a number of countries to those aspiring to pursue law overseas. The University of British Columbia, University of Toronto, and McGill University in Canada are regarded for their law schools. Coming to European countries, the University of Cambridge, the London School of Economics (LSE), and Oxford University in the UK, as well as Leiden University in the Netherlands, are highly regarded. Law schools at Australian universities viz., Australian National University (ANU), the University of Melbourne, and the University of Sydney, are also renowned. As an answer to your query concerning the path available to pursue legal studies in these aforementioned countries, I would like to tell you that this path generally entails earning an undergraduate i.e. Bachelor’s degree, usually in any area of study, after which one needs to complete a legal degree i.e. Bachelor of Law (LLB) or Juris Doctor (JD), and then possibly undertake specialized programs or internships. In order that your son chooses the program that best resonates with his passion and objectives, I would recommend that he conducts an extensive study on particular program offerings, the competence of the faculty, as well as the curriculum’s primary emphasis.

My daugher is doing BDS from Ahmedabad. what are the chances in india for the job after completing BDS, if she dont want to open her clinic? Is there any bright chances in abroad like canada to persue higher studies in same filed or to do practice after dentist after completing BDS from india

Ans: Hello Vimal,

To begin with, thank you for contacting us. I am happy to hear that your daughter is pursuing her Bachelor of Dental Surgery (BDS). To answer your question first, I would like to tell you that on completing her degree in India, it is possible for your daughter to pursue higher studies or practice dentistry abroad. You would be happy to know that dental graduates from India are presented with many opportunities to further their education or to practice dentistry by a number of countries, including Canada.

I would like to let you know that in order to qualify for licensure in Canada, international dental graduates are generally required to go through a process of assessment and examinations. With an aim to access their abilities and knowledge in the field of dentistry, this procedure may entail exams, and if necessary, further training or education. Nevertheless, remember that the specified prerequisites for each province may differ, and for that reason I would suggest that you conduct an extensive study and comprehend the rules in the province you choose to practice in.

In addition, bear in mind that in numerous nations, including Canada, you can also pursue programs specializing in dentistry, or study further viz., a Master's degree. Although having unique admission standards and requirements, a path to greater specialization and professional growth in the area of dentistry, is offered by these programs. Remember that while it is possible to explore possibilities abroad after earning a Bachelor of Dental Surgery (BDS) from India, I would recommend that you conduct an all-round study on the prerequisites and procedures required to study or practice dentistry in your preferred country.

Ans: Instead of doing a full fledged 2 year Management course, look at options of doing smaller courses that are relevant to your field. There are short term advance management courses that are conducted by the top colleges both in India and abroad. Look at what suits you. Check ISB, IIM A, IIM B, IIM C, XLRI, etc for these courses.

Hello sir/madam, I have done Bsc in Biology but I am working in IT for the past 20 years and doing just alright now. I am in a good position in office and really worked very hard to reach here and I still have hands on experience in development in Micro Soft products . In fact my work was recognised well in the office year after year but now the its stagnant from past 5 years. I want to do some courses so that I join some other companies to have challenging job and earn more than what I am doing now, but my qualification is a hurdle and so I have never tried to apply any where. My qualification is below average as I had no proper guidance nor I had motivation then, but after joining the work, my life changed drastically and even now I am the wizard in office and people look up to me for guidance not only in technical but in all aspects but internally I suffer a lot as my base qualification hurts me. Please suggest what course/courses I should do, so that I become confident and can improve my qualification and apply for job elsewhere.
