How to build a good profile? What is the median salary of the bottom 10% at IIM ABC?
I am joining one of the top IIMs, but I feel like I may have one of the weakest profiles in the batch.
Profile:
- 9/9/6
- Old IIT degree
- CAT 99.8x percentile
- 1.5 years of work experience
- 5-year gap after grad
- Age 30 Male
Which domains/roles are almost an absolute no when it comes to SIP/final placement shortlists?
I do not have very high hopes for SIPs, but I want to work hard toward final placements and secure a good package. Since I have around one year to improve my profile, where should I prioritize my efforts the most?
Given that I may get around 5–8 hours per day apart from classes, please rank the following in terms of importance for placements (including the options within brackets):
- PORs (PlaceCom, Alumni Com, CultCom, Pride, NGO-based clubs, Entrepreneurship Club, SportsCom, etc.)
- Case Competitions (Corporate case competitions, IIM case competitions, anything else?)
- Industry live projects
- Research papers (under IIM faculty)
- Director’s Merit List
- CFA,FRM,FMVA, etc. Please tell me the relevant certifications for each domains.
- Anything else?
Thank you.
