Can a Philosophy Degree Lead to a Career in Investment Banking

I’m interested in pursuing a career in investment banking in the future. I’m considering doing my bachelor’s degree in Philosophy Honours from a top college. Unfortunately, I may not have the opportunity to pursue more traditional fields such as Mathematics, Statistics, Engineering, or Economics at a top institution.

I wanted to ask whether a liberal arts background, specifically a Philosophy degree, would still allow me to build a successful career in investment banking. Since investment banking is often associated with quantitative or finance-related degrees, I would like to understand whether candidates from a Philosophy background can still be competitive and what additional skills or qualifications might help bridge the gap.

How Did My Anger Go So Far That I Hurt the Person I Love the Most?

​

I often end up fighting with my mother. During arguments, she sometimes uses very harsh and abusive words for me. Over time, I’ve started reacting in the same way—using those same words against her, even though I know it’s wrong. Now it has reached a point where I sometimes say these things even when she hasn’t said anything first.

In moments of anger, I lose control over myself. I say things I don’t mean and later regret deeply. Sometimes when she hits me, I hit her back with the same force. Today, something even worse happened. My brother and I were fighting, and my mother was only trying to stop us—she wasn’t even hitting me—but I still raised my hand and slapped her on face . I don’t understand how I did that. It feels like I lose control completely in those moments.

The truth is, my mother loves me a lot. She has always been there for me, and she is a very good mother. I love her too. That’s why, after everything calms down, I feel intense guilt and regret. I keep thinking about how I could say and do such things to my own mother. It makes me feel like I’ve failed as a daughter.i am the worst daughter in world.she is my mother she can beat and abuse me but I can't.

I don’t want to be this person. I don’t want my anger to control me or hurt the people I love the most.

Anyone Got Into DU B.Com Programme Through English + Domain + GAT Combination?

Hi guys, I have Physical Education, Chemistry, Biology, English, and GAT as my CUET subjects. I am targeting B.Com Programme and B.A. Programme courses in DU.

For B.Com Programme, there are two combinations:

  1. One language + 3 domain subjects

  2. One language + 1 domain subject + GAT

I am thinking of going with the second combination because I’m not very confident about my Physical Education and Chemistry scores. So my combination would be English + Biology + GAT.

But I’m worried about whether DU might consider the first combination instead of the second one and include my Chemistry and Physical Education marks too.

Is there anyone here who got into DU for B.Com Programme or B.A. Programme through the one language + one domain + GAT combination?

Why Is “Preserving Culture” Always Expected From Women?

Why don’t men wear kurta pajama and preserve our culture? Why do only women need to preserve our culture? I have seen many women who wear sarees in schools and workplaces, but no men wear traditional clothes except during festivals or weddings. Men wear coat-pants even at weddings, yet they tell us to wear sarees and kurtis.

In my school, the boys’ dress code is pants and shirts, while for girls it is kurtis. In my previous school, female teachers were not allowed to wear jeans and tops; they could only wear saree and kurtis. I have also seen that in IAS interviews, the dress code for women is saree, while for men it is coat-pant. Even IFS officers who represent our nation are expected to wear sarees to “preserve our culture,” while they are not allowed to wear suits like men. As someone who wants to join the IFS, I find this very annoying because I hate sarees

I want to know whether this would be a good option for me, especially since I plan to prepare for CAT and pursue an MBA in the future.

Confusion Around the Ideal Path to Investment Banking and MBB Consulting

I want to work in investment banking or management consulting at MBB. However, I’ve come across very different opinions about the qualifications required for these careers. Some people say that becoming a CA is essential, while others believe that a CFA is more valuable. Some even claim that neither is necessary and that an MBA from a target school is enough. I have also heard people describe CA as the “gold standard” for top investment banking roles.

Hi everyone,

I might not be able to do my bachelor’s from a top college. I don’t want to get work experience and instead plan to do an MSc Finance from a top target school like lse right after graduation instead of mba

Can I still get into investment banking or MBB consulting through this route after ib and consulting i even want to go for private equity? Do companies like MBB, Goldman Sachs, Blackstone and JPMorgan hire MSc Finance graduates without work experience? Or they prefer mba .
