A idiot guide to choosing a career
Every one faces this question, at point or another in his life. Which career to choose from all the options? Should i go in I Banking, be a consult, join a bank or become a marketer??
My take on this issue is that look at following parameters and make your final decision
1) What Interests u?
Question yurself whether you are happy working on financial models, whether wearing a suit all the time thrills you or whether you are one of those who are happy being in the field?? think what excites you and find out the list of companies offering jobs in that area
2) Future of company?
Now look at the future of those companies, whether their sector is growing or not? Even if company is not growing by sector is growing, i would say joining that company might be a good option.
3) Career path in the company?
Now look at the career path in the company. In my opinion, if a company is offering early responsibility than joining that company makes more sense than one who has a big brand name, but it takes u years to get any real responsibility.
4) culture in the company?
If you have the personality of one who is restless all the time and want to do something new always, than working in a company where only thing you will do is to follow order will never make you happy and sooner or later you will leave that company, no matter what they are paying you.
5) Pay package?
Pay package is a important parameter but in my opinion, not the most important parameter. Package offered should be good enough for you so that you don't feel ashamed in telling you friends, parents about it. After a certain limit, relevance of package is no longer their. Limit will vary from one person to another.
6) Your goals?
where does a company fits in your future goals. If it fits, go for it, otherwise no point wasting time in that company. If have never thought of your goals, don't worry, thr r many like u. Rather thr r many, who can't even answer the first question properly.
List of parameters is not exhaustive and contains only those parameters i have used to choose my list of companies.
After looking at these parameters, you will have a short list of companies you would like to join. Voila u have your list, apply in them and prepare as well as u can.
OK enough of bullshitting, on a serious note just look at the location, number of gals in the company & pay package and you have your list of companies.
BOL to all
