Hi everyone,
I’m currently pursuing my MBA (Finance) from a Tier 2 college. I did my Bachelor’s in Arts, so I know my background is a bit different from most people going into finance.
Right now, I’m interning at a small firm where I mostly work on invoices and billing, and honestly, I’m not learning much. I’ve been trying to find better internships or live projects, but haven’t had much luck so far—maybe because of my background.
Finance is something I genuinely enjoy, and I’m putting in effort to build my knowledge and keep up with my peers. But I don’t see myself going into core finance roles. I’m more interested in consulting or general management roles.
I do understand that coming from a Tier 2 college, getting into these roles—especially through placements—can be tough. That’s why I wanted to ask for some honest advice:
- What can I do to improve my profile/resume?
- What skills or projects should I focus on?
- How can I actually get relevant internships or live projects?
Would really appreciate any guidance. Thanks a lot!
