Business Management Studies

So, basically, your friend is already working as an accountant and that he has good experience of 4 years, and I see his qualifications like BA in English and MBA HR Finance, so I think doing ICWA is a waste of time and money because he has already done his MBA. Now, if you really want to try out new things, then you can try for certificate courses on a different term online platforms for weekend to some other course to increase your learning. But, if you want to go for ICWA, then I want to say that you shouldn't to go maybe it will be another learning experience for you. But, then try for other certificate courses related to your field, so that you can hone your skills.

Hi,
There are few options you can try to cover up the intervening period well before MBA season kicks off:
Don't look out for jobs, get an internship instead: It's difficult for a fresh graduate to grab a good paying job off campus in most of the cases. Companies aren't willing to extend quality jobs to freshers that easily as they simply look out for candidates with stellar profiles. However, getting an internship might not be that big of an issue. HR people usually prefer internships over full time job for one special reason: Lesser compensation for an equally challenging work profile. Therefore, you might have to compromise on remuneration if you opt for an internship in a suitable domain. Take up a domain neutral profiles: Profiles with designations such as Research Analyst, Management Trainee, etc. are considered to be general management profiles, thus they are not domain specific. In other words, you will not be working for a particular management field. Do not plan professional experience but something else: If Plan 1 & 2 don't work out, you can always opt for things which you might be interested in. What about becoming a private tutor or maybe start working for an NGO? These might not add something substantial to your CV, but they do provide ample opportunities to learn and grow as an individual. Still not satisfied? Chuck out everything. Get enrolled for year long full time Diploma course of your choice and be a Diploma holder by the time you join an MBA college next year. Remember you can pursue CFA in addition to any of the four options stated above. But, don't pursue only CFA as its just one exam that you'll have to clear in a year. Not a full time commitment. Thank you.

It depends on what suits you the most. If you have interest in biotechnology then you can get good package in it also and same is true for MBA. If you don't have interest and just choosing it on the basis of others judgement, you might fail to get a good placement. No one knows better than you what is best for you. MBA needs communication skills, presentation skills, etc. MBA students get good placement but some people also don't get job. Even after biotechnology people get good job but majority of them don't get as high paid as MBA. MBA has more opportunities and salary but biotechnology is also not a bad choice if you have interest in it.
