Career

I am pursuing Final year of BBA Finance ? I am so much confused to ake my career.Kindly advice what should i do for my career growth?

Ans: It's completely normal to feel confused about your career path, especially when you're in the final year of your undergraduate studies. The good news is that you have already chosen a specialization in BBA Finance, which means you have a solid foundation in finance-related subjects. Here are some steps to help you plan your career growth:

1. Research Career Options: Explore the various career options available to BBA Finance graduates. Some potential career paths include financial analyst, investment banking, corporate finance, risk management, financial planning, and wealth management. Research each option to understand the job roles, required skills, and growth prospects.

2. Internships: Consider doing internships or part-time jobs in finance-related roles. Practical experience can give you a better understanding of the industry and help you discover what you enjoy and excel at.

3. Further Education: Depending on your career goals, you might consider pursuing further education, such as a Master's degree or professional certifications (like CFA, FRM, or CFP). Additional qualifications can enhance your skills and marketability in the finance field.

4. Skill Development: Identify the key skills required for your desired career path and work on developing them. These skills may include financial analysis, data analysis, communication, problem-solving, and decision-making.

5. Stay Updated: Keep yourself updated with the latest trends and developments in the finance industry. Subscribe to financial publications, join professional finance forums, and attend workshops or webinars to expand your knowledge.

6. Job Search: Start looking for entry-level job opportunities in your chosen finance area. Many companies offer graduate trainee programs for fresh BBA graduates. Apply to positions that align with your interests and career goals.

Remember, career growth is a continuous process, and it's okay to start with a job that aligns with your interests and learn and grow from there. Stay persistent, be proactive in your career exploration, and trust that with time and effort, you will find a path that suits you and allows you to achieve your career aspirations.

Career

I'm a 23-year-old still struggling to find a job. I graduated in 2023 with a BBA in Finance, but I made a big mistake by not taking a job opportunity and instead started preparing for banking exams, in which I failed miserably. Now, I’m unemployed with a gap year, while my friends have jobs and are happy. I’ve lost all interest in government jobs, so I’ve started applying to private companies, but so far, I’ve had no success. Nobody wants to hire an obsolete product like me. I’m a worthless person who destroyed his own career. I wanted to build a career in finance but now I don’t know what to do—please, I need guidance.

Ans: You did not waste your time during the last 1 year and had been preparing for Bank exam only which itself is an experience. NEVER get demotivated by temporary failures. To gain experience, try to join any small or medium-sized company to begin with. You have mentioned you have started applying for jobs, but have NOT mentioned through which sources. LinkedIn is the 1st best source. Having a professional resume is important to get shortlisted at least for the interview and also you should customize your Resume for each job you are applying, based on the JD (job description) advertised. If possible & your economic conditions permit, join MBA-Finance in any reputed Distance Learning University such as IGNOU and / or join online courses, related to your domain. After conducting a research for 3-months on 'Resume Building', I prepared an eBook, containing 24 pages, titled, "What if you could create your Professional Resume without Googling". Some of the Tips I have reproduced below. Please go through it and try to follow them. 12 QUALITIES Your Resume Should Have: (1) Uniqueness & Outstanding (2) Updated Snapshot of Your Career (Brief & Relevant) (3) Keysords of Job Description (4) Adept to Job Description Advertised
(5) Your Expertises Relevant to The Job (6) Focusing More on Achievements Quantitatively (7) Being Selective & include Only Relevant Information (8) Concise & Maximum 2-Pages. Less is More. (9) Easily Scannable to Look for Desired Characteristics,
and Draw Attention to Experiences, if applicable (10) Having Several Versions of Your Resume tailored for Certain Employers or Types of Positions (11) Impress Recruiters To Meet You in the Interview & (12) PROFESSIONAL Email / Webmail ID & Professional LinkedIn URL. Strategize your Job searching skills. All the BEST for Your Bright Future.

My Son has completed CS Cybersecurity undergrad from ASU Tempe, AZ USA this May, with 4.0 GPA in all 8 semesters, and also won the Moyer award. He is on OPT doing research, and looking for job. Does not want to do MS in tech, but is already studying AI ML online in USA. He wants to finally do MBA from one of the top 10 in USA. What will be the best route? Which field will be best for him? His plan is to finally not be in a job, and preferably return to India.

Ans: He must have an excellent GMAT score if he wants to do MBA from top 10 B-School of USA. Which field will be best for him that can't be told unless I talk to him.

Relationship

I am a 30-year-old woman from an upper-middle-class business family. I've been in a relationship for the past four years with a man who holds a government job, while I recently completed my MBA and started working at a reputable company. He comes from a modest background, and we are from different castes. About a year and a half ago, I introduced him to my family as a potential partner, but they were strongly opposed to the idea. At the time, I decided to let it go, but now I feel compelled to try again. However, I’m uncertain about how to approach my parents, and with time passing, I find myself questioning the decision to marry someone from a different background. What should I do?

Ans: First, it might be helpful to reflect on your relationship itself. After four years, you likely know each other well, and it’s good to take stock of what you value in your partner. Think about whether you see a long-term future together, especially in terms of shared goals, values, and mutual support. These are the foundational elements that matter most, regardless of background or status. If you’re truly aligned, you can have confidence that you’re making a choice based on a solid partnership.

If you’re still sure about moving forward, you can prepare to approach your parents again. This time, try focusing on helping them see him as a person rather than through the lens of caste or financial background. Highlight his qualities—his character, values, work ethic, and the positive impact he has on your life. Family resistance often stems from fears about compatibility or security, so if you can show them that he’s a stable, dependable person who brings happiness and balance to your life, it may help ease their concerns.

At the same time, it’s natural to worry about how lifestyle differences might play out. You might consider having an open conversation with your partner about any potential challenges you foresee. Talking openly now about things like finances, family roles, and lifestyle expectations can give you both a clearer picture of what marriage will look like and whether you feel ready to commit.

If you’re still unsure, give yourself time to think it over without pressure. Marriage is a big commitment, and it’s okay to take your time. Make sure your decision reflects what’s truly right for you and the life you want to build, and trust yourself to make the choice that feels right in the end.

Relationship

hello, I'm a 49F married for 21years. It was an arranged match, and from day one my husband and sister have not gotten along. I've also been naive and under my sister's control for a long time, which has angered my husband a lot. In March they both had a verbal altercation and have not been on talking terms. Now my husband is not letting my 18y son meet my sister. My husband is demanding a sorry from my sister, post which only my son can meet her. I'm really sad as my sister dearly loves my son, also I don't feel its morally right to involve children in family politics. And my sister will not apologize to my husband. Need help to understand on how to get my innocent son out of this mess. My husband is very controlling, very angry, very interfering person, overall he has a very negative perspective on everything.

Ans: It might help to approach this from a place of calm and clarity, starting by recognizing that both your husband and your sister likely feel hurt in their own ways. Your husband’s demand for an apology may come from years of built-up tension and perhaps a feeling that he hasn’t been supported in the past. On the other hand, your sister may feel hurt or defensive, making her unwilling to apologize. While it would be ideal for them to resolve this between themselves, you’ve noticed that it’s now affecting your son, and you understandably want to protect him from being caught in the middle.

When talking with your husband, you could try sharing your perspective calmly, focusing on your son’s well-being. For instance, you could gently explain that keeping your son away from his aunt might make him feel confused or torn. Rather than asking your husband to change his mind outright, it could help to show him that your main concern is your son’s happiness, not taking sides. If he understands that this isn’t about undermining his feelings, he may be more open to a conversation.

With your sister, if you have a trusting relationship, consider sharing that her relationship with your son is important, but so is reducing tension in the family. Without asking her to apologize, you might just express that a little openness on her part could make a big difference in helping your son maintain his connections.

This might take time to work through, and that’s okay. In the meantime, keep reassuring your son that he’s loved by everyone. Explain to him that sometimes adults have disagreements, but it doesn’t change the fact that he’s cared for. Keeping those bonds strong now could help everyone come to a better place down the line.

This is a tough situation, but focusing on your values—family harmony and your son’s well-being—can help guide you through it.

Pradeep, I am a professional with more than 17 years of experience in Operations, team management. Currently I have started working in a global MNC in a global position. Earlier I was working with the same organization for more than 10 years. Then during Covid, I lost my job. Finally, settled down with another company with almost 40% less salary. Though I loved the role and responsibilities there. I was a Senior Team Lead there. I liked the role where I was managing the team, working with the team. But due to some internal politics, I lost my job in that organization too in this year only. Why I am saying politics? Because just before they fired me, I got best performer award and best employee of the last quarter 2024 award. Then I rejoined my old organization with lots of hope. But now I am finiding it difficult to cope up in this global role. The top management expected me to know everything within 3 to 4 months and start delivering. One of the biggest hurdle that I am facing is that earlier when I was in this organization for more than 10 years, I was in another process. This time I got in a role where the process is completely different. Also no proper training is provided. I am not get a fulfiling satisfaction from this role. Also I am not able to get job satisfaction and now I am thinking of quitting and start something of my own. A business venture or a consultancy service. But not sure how to start and also afraid of the flow of income. I have a mother who is suffering from age related problems. Have a little kid of 12 years. My wife is not working. I tried to switch jobs. But it seems that no one is there to take someone who is almost at 45 years of age. I am loosing my hope and confidence day by day. Please help.

Ans: Dear... Request you to mention the question in precise way to understand what exactly you require from us. Big question normally indicates state of confusion somewhere hence difficult to repply which will satisfy you.

Dear Sirs, In the past, purchasing shares and debentures was relatively simple. Investors only needed to obtain an investment application form, either from a broker or directly from the company, fill it out, and submit it along with the required amount in a demand draft. Shares or debentures were then allocated based on the investment made. However, investing in shares has become more complex today due to numerous banking formalities, such as the ASBA (Applications Supported by Blocked Amount) process. What is the reason for this change? I would appreciate your thoughts on the matter.

Ans: OMG, today its simplest dear, globally investing in India is the most simple form.
