I am 25M from India and I come from a fairly technical background. My bachelor's was in video game design and development. I am currently pursuing MBA focusing on Finance and Business Intelligence from a low ranked college ( I scored really bad in MBA entrance exams and didn't wanted to waste another year. ) In my gaming career I was not able to penetrate the game development market in India and land a stable or decent paying job.

The upcoming semester is a mix of subjects which are: emerging technologies in business, artificial intelligence, business analysis, wealth management and business modelling and simulation.

On paper these subjects sounds futuristic and high value however with the recent boom of LLMs and Generative AI already becoming so mainstream I worry these subjects might just be a collection of buzzwords. I want to know if there is a real job market in India or outside India aswell for someone with my particular set of skills, or if companies just look for pure software engineers / pure finance MBAs.

I don't fluently know any programming language however I am good at leveraging these AI tools for development of tools needed as I am able to understand the core problem and the logic needed to fix the problem even if the AI writes the code.

I am interning as a data analyst right now and my office is focused on automating some reports that are needed on a weekly/monthly basis. I have been helping the company build and deploy tools for this such as assets under management reports and other kind of reports needed in a fintech organization.

Here are some of the most burning questions that I have which are making me incredibly anxious given the job market in India:

1. Are there roles in India that require and value someone who can understand financial modeling and can find solutions and implement them by themselves ?

2. If there are roles like these, what are they ?

3.If you work in tech/fintech/analytics what should I be focusing on right now ?

I have made plenty of mistakes in my career in the past and this is my last opportunity to stand on my own feet.
