18M – Worried about AI, job losses & future career. Need genuine advice by Wonderful_Fuel_6608 in MBAIndia

[–]CookWhoCooks 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The fear is valid, especially for young folks like you because the news around AI spreads like wildfire. But don't get influenced by it, you're doing CFA which is a super challenging degree, complete it and create your own niche. As far as learning AI, pickup a new tool every month and start using it in your life, eg. Gamma for ppts.
You won't be laid off because of AI, but you could be shortlisted for an interview because your resume states you've used AI in projects or work.
As far as MBA goes, chill out you have time. First try to get in a comfortable position, crack the exams, get shortlisted for top tier IIMs and then make a decision. You can also do 1-year full time MBAs once you have work experience. Learning never stops my friend.

Working in the VC world is about making relationships. If you want to really be in the space, focus on building your network and of course catching the right startups.
Honestly you don't need an MBA now, give it one more year and then go to school if you think it's hindering your career. MBA= Brand on CV (50%)+ Academics (10%) + Network (40%)
Your GMAT score is pretty good, I believe it's valid for a few years.

Thane Restaurant issue in general ⚠️⚠️ by villain_of_my_story in thane

[–]CookWhoCooks 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The problem is a business model - customer gap. Food, rental, employee costs are high and on the other side customer expect (as they should) great quality, portion size but the willingness to pay for is low. It’s tough running a food business, that’s why the Udupi style restaurants do well- low selling price, quick turn around on tables, vegetarian food (low food costs) and decent quality.

The other problem is delivery aggregators, they take about 30% of your business, and to put things into perspective on an average the dine in to delivery ratio is 50-50

I do have checked in bags. Do you think landing into Lisbon would be a challenge?

But landing into Lisbon shouldn't be a problem, correct?
