Hi,
Time and again we come across this question.
IAS is the gateway to power whereas an MBA from IIM opens door to Dollar Salaries, working in Dream Companies and so on!
Every year once the placements in these Centers of Excellence gets over, this question arises again. The reason is that the graduates from these institutes are offered start-up salaries which an IAS, IFS or IPS officer would make close to the end of a career spanning three decades.
This salary imbalance often lead to uncomfortable situations. putting the student in a dilemma whether he should go for an MBA or a Career in Civil Services which is said to be the prestigious career since British Raj The IAS is seen as an illustrious career-path that could do wonders to one's self-esteem and could rocket the family repute as well.
