Need advice
Hello everyone, I am pursuing an MBA from a Tier 2 government university. My first year is about to be completed, and my second year starts in June. I aspire to become a financial analyst, but I will settle for an associate role at 5-7 LPA if a company offers it to me. However, the thing is I don't know how to land a job or what skills to develop that can help me get my first job. I just don't know what I am going to do after my MBA program is completed. I expect some suggestions and guidance from seniors working in the finance domain.
Thank you, God bless you.

To break into finance, especially as a financial analyst, you need to focus on building a strong foundation in financial modeling, Excel (advanced), and understanding financial statements. Start by learning about valuation techniques, and tools like Bloomberg or FactSet. It’s also crucial to have a good understanding of financial markets and macroeconomics.

Networking is key. Try to get internships or part time roles, even if they’re low paying at first, to build real-world experience. Recruiters love to see hands-on work, so internships can be a game changer.

Apart from technical skills, you need strong communication skills. Learn how to present data and insights clearly, because as a financial analyst, your job is to communicate complex data in a simple way.

I was in your shoes not long ago..When I finished my MBA, I felt just as lost. Focus on getting hands on experience wherever you can, and the skills will follow. The first job may seem daunting, but once you get your foot in the door, things will move fast. Stay consistent and proactive..
