MBA (Finance) with B-TECH in IT !!!

Neelima: - So, have you got back your black colored Transcend pen drive or not? Is it stolen?

Arindam: - On Monday, I went to the Cyber café of our Balamrai locality, which is owned by Mr.Gajanan. After taking print-out of my CVs from my pen drive, I forgot to take the pen drive. I paid him the money and went back home. While going towards my house, I realized that, I have left my pen drive there only. When I went back to that cyber café, Mr. Gajanan started the acting by saying, “maine toh aap ko pen drive de diya saab, main aisa nahi hoon ki 300 rupiya ka pen drive chori karoonga, main pen drive chori kyon karoonga”. Baash, by doing all these acting, he has kept my pen drive with him. Now, as an educated person, I cannot beat him in public for stealing my pen drive; then people will laugh at me. I have bought a new pen drive of 2 GB today.

Susanta: - Uff, these Telugu people are cheaters and frauds by birth. That is in their blood only. They may have good education qualifications, but still they are junglee type, uncivilized and frauds. I think that these Telugu people should make a film with the title, “Hum sab Chor hai”, with the star cast of Mohammad Azharuddin, Ramalinga Raju, Ram Mynampati, Vadlamani and these Mr. Gajanan type shameless creatures. Who knows, maybe that man’s father was also an anti-social. Forget all this; try to leave this Hyderabad city, as early as possible. Already, Satyam has kicked on your back. So, it’s better to give your Satyam, the last deadly bite of an ant. Around 8,800 people have virtually lost their job in Satyam. Many of you people went to the job fair of Wellesley College of Secunderabad? What happened?

Kakoli: - Dasha mobile Technology was offering 1.2 lacs p.a to MBA Finance people, and HSBC were offering 1.8 lacs p.a. Only, Amazon was offering 4.2 lacs p.a, to MBA Finance people with 2 years of experience. But, I had only 1 year of experience, and that too in Satyam, where, finance is either inventory/commercial management or project related invoicing or monitoring revenue gaps. In IT sector, Finance is like the Program Management Office role, where revenue tracking and projections is the key function. That is why, in banking or financial sectors, no one is willing to take a MBA Finance person working in IT industry. And to add fuel to the fire, recruiters are rejecting the candidates of Satyam in the HR Interviews. For example, Deloitte, IBM, and Mr. Mohandas Pai’s Infosys just says, “You worked in Satyam and you have come here for interview, just get lost man. The exit door is there. Just get out. Never dare to attend any of our company interviews”. Hey, Arindam, you went for walk-in interviews today at Fairlink Placement Agency of Himayathnagar. What happened there?

Arindam: - As usual, I have been humiliated again like it was in Mafoi Consultancy of Himayathnagar. They have requirements for MBA Finance, but it has to be B.Com with MBA Finance. Really, I have committed a sin, by doing B-Tech in IT and then doing MBA in Finance. Also, in the start of my career, it is not a financial company, but an IT company, and that too the scam-hit Satyam. In this company, only the senior level CFA and CA guys perform the corporate financial role. Others are either in commercial department or in PMO. I was in PMO, whose job was to track all financial activities of projects under GE account. But, I have literally forgot the concepts of NPV, IRR, NBCR, Beta, P/E ratio, Swap rate and other financial theories.

Paritosh: - See, Arindam, every corporate has its own style of financial activities. Finance is not accounting, but accounting falls under finance at the lower level. At the upper level, come the strategies of Investment Analysis, Portfolio management, Project Appraisal, Security Analysis, Derivatives and Mergers & Acquisitions. That is why, we require MBA Finance guys to take decisions. It is like CA or CFA people will cook foods in the form of reports, and you the MBA Finance guys need to serve that food to your customers in such a manner that it produces extra revenues for the entire company, as shareholders will be pumping in more money.

Arindam:- I don’t know, whether I will get any jobs or not after committing a sin of pursuing “MBA(Finance) with B-Tech in IT”, but one thing is true that “Window Dressing” of Balance Sheets and P&L accounts will surely show you the grilled doors of Government Jails, as if it is like you are riding on a Royal Bengal Tiger in Hyderabad.
