Dear Aspirant,

What an excellent query Rahul. I highly appreciate all your thoughts and the way you are clear in them and really liked your passion to do the best in your life. Helping you to get through this phase is a pleasure.

Thank you so much for the detailed query and well articulated thoughts.

I will answer step by step:

1. Firstly, the under graduate degree of engineering which does not interest you is really a sad thing and it can be set off through an MBA only. I think MBA Finance will suit you for future jobs as well as in your family or your own business.

Getting a non sense high salary for a non sense job is a characteristic of IT companies over many years, but people don't realise that the end of the journey comes very fast and results into frustration and disappointment. I am happy that you do not wish to do non sense work just for 'money'.

I also feel that there is a certain way and behavioral aspects required while working in a corporate. One needs to be a little diplomat, clever and submissive when you are at a entry level / fresher position, where there is no scope for negotiation in terms of salary and job profile.

1. If you are not interested in the engineering, then joining your family business looks more suitable for you. I think you should find out ways to expand your family business by speaking to legal experts. I am sure that there must be some way.

2. I think you can definitely have your own business venture and for which you need to have a good amount of industry & market awareness and also idea. I would suggest that you should immediately go for an MBA from a reputed Institute in India.

3. Answering the question from the Institute why you left the job and why an MBA, then the answer to this is already in your question. Be honest to yourself and to the Institute and tell them the facts and tell them than an MBA can be the best option to revive the career and get into business venture as well.

4. While doing an MBA you can spend time for your business idea as well.

In totality, whether you go for job or business, an MBA from a reputed Institute is highly recommended.

I would further ask you to take the Ideal Career Test from CareerGuide.com which is one of the very good scientific method to assess your inner interests and inclication.
You can also then call me to discuss.

Best wishes!

Hi rahul,

Excellently articulated query, to be honest, it got me confused at the beginning.
Thank you Dr Anad to help me sort the confusion.

Coming back to you rahul,

Firstly a very wise decision of quitting your job. Since being in a job which is not upto your capabilities and being burdened with certain management rules makes future look hopeless.

Here definitely furthjer studies and as you mentioned an MBA would be helpful.
Apart from what the other counselor has said, I would just like to chip in that, thinking negative means half the battle lost.

Please stop thinking that you being unemployed for a year is a dent for you to carry on with an MBA course of study.
Rtaher just think, that if you had plunged without any thinking, where exactly would you kland up.

Instead of saying it to the panel that you wasted time, you could always show, your reasoning capacity and your future planning you did, which would have been difficult had you been employed.

It would be best, now for you to jot down points that could help you clearly focus and help you clear your interview.

I do not wish to repeat what Dr, the other counselor suggested. It is the right way to follow.

Wish you good luck Rahul....

Thank you Anand for your thoughts. Just to add here, my decision for Eng. in branch which wasn't the best career option around was solely based on the brand tag of IIT. And my eager for MBA is not for another tag of IIM or so but for further development as I strongly believe down the line, the exposure and pattern of thinking i would acquire after IIM or other best B-school stay would be the edge which can keep me floating.

The nervousness is mere because of lack of solid vision which is what I believe is all required to sail though interviews for MBA.

Nevertheless, can you tell me how can i contact you and if I would need to pay for the same ? Def want talk further to gain some better clarity and certainty back in my life !
