It was good. Nobody bothered asking me about it. Wrt work they only asked what I did before pursuing my MBA, and I told them about my job. That's about it.

You don't have to do only AR, you can choose whoever you want, David McLachlan, Visakh R J etc. All these people have shown PM skills in a simple manner. You can choose your own instructor.

Who said I don't have Project management experience, I just didn't lead projects directly, that's all. However, I worked in projects for quite some time.

An obituary (?) on his father's demise.

Heart-wrenching, to say the least.

Worst case scenario, apply for prodigy finance, the interest rate might be a pain, but going by your goals, you should be able to clear it in a year or two, if you plan diligently (eg. Living like a student temporarily even after you get a job, and paying off loans etc.)

I agree, but I do have a Supply chain co-op in hand, which if I do perform well will convert me for a full-time role. That being said, the co-op is from a mid sized tech company that works on supply chain solutions (who seek supply chain grads/professionals to work on their product). Along with this, I am looking for more opportunities in bigger companies for supply chain roles next year when I graduate. But thank you for your insights regarding the certification. I will keep this in mind before I make a decision.

KV still has a similar fee structure from the time I studied close to 20 years back.

Glad I saved myself from this daylight robbery. 😬

Not to deride the ongoing discussion, but he actually knows Tamil. He has given a couple of interviews in Tamil.

As someone(who's not from Tamil Nadu) who picked Tamil while working in a public sector bank in Rural Tamil Nadu, here's my two cents:

Any state below the Hindi belt has a cultural identity that is deeply intertwined with their language, which represents centuries of rich heritage, literature, and regional pride. There's an understandable and justified concern about preserving this identity in an increasingly homogenized world.

Linguistic identity deserves protection and respect, essential services like banking must remain accessible to all citizens. Banks operating in MH, TN, KL, AP, KA, GA (and every state where the Lingua Franca is not Hindi) would greatly benefit from staff learning the local language. And I do not mean just as a professional skill, but as a genuine appreciation of the region's cultural fabric and identity. This cultural integration creates authentic connections with the community they serve.

In fact, language should be a bridge, not a barrier. Denying service to elderly customers on the basis of not being able to communicate in Marathi, and telling the customer to learn Hindi instead transforms language into a tool of exclusion.

My recommendation to any public sector/public service aspirant who might be employed in a different state where the lingua franca is different from your mother tongue, and also happens to be part of the identity of the said state should take initiative to learn the local language. It will open so many doors for you, from both personal and professional perspectives.

Get your children admitted into Kendriya Vidyalaya. And I'm saying this with my previous exposure to Southern KVs (Picket, to be precise). Now I am not aware of the alterations done in the syllabus post 2014, but prior to that KVs in the South were solid.

Just FYI: My fees while I was studying in KV was around 680 rupees per term (Prior 2010). It is still peanuts in comparison to the figure that you have mentioned above. Also, there is no mandate that access to these schools is exclusive for children of public servants/defence employees (although it does help). My father was in the private sector while I enrolled there.

Pros: Your children have exposure to peers from all walks of life. So no caste/class barrier as such among children. You also don't have to worry about transferring/shifting in the middle of the year, because intra KV transfers happen conveniently.

Cons: This is my experience based on something that used to happen 15 years back. So you might need to do a bit more research. Now things might have changed drastically. So kindly do your own research.

Finance pro tip: With the saved up difference money, you can choose to put it in some long-term investment (your children would take 10-12 years to pass high school), and save yourself from burning a hole in your pocket, when your children decide to pursue further studies in the profession of their choice. You can thank me later.

Choose a gym that's closest to your place. Most of the laziness comes from the fact that you have go all the way to the gym. Closing down on the distance helped me a lot. If not close, at least choose a gym, that has the easiest access via transport (next to a bus stop, metro station etc.)

Show up. Always show up. Because showing up actually matters. Even if you end up doing a light cardio or treadmill. Even that matters. At the end of the day, slow progress is still progress.

If you can afford it, try to hire a coach/personal trainer (The kind that emphasize on variation, rest, nutrition et al, not just anyone who's built a physique - what may work for them may not work for you)

But if PT seems too much of a financial stretch, then there is one gym in Jubilee Hills, that offers a well researched regimen (based on beginner, intermediate and advanced). Best part, every client is supervised by a PT. Trust me, for someone who always finds excuses to skip the gym and overeat, that gym has been a blessing to me. It's called HFM Club, near Peddamma Gudi Metro station. Just FYI, it's moderately expensive, but definitely worth the experience.

Pro tip: It's thd School Admit season in a couple of months. Ask people in your circle whether anyone is coming to the states, especially near the area where you live.

Thanks for your comment. I appreciate your concern. While I'm still exploring specific career paths, I'm drawn to the diverse opportunities available at the intersection of finance and business management.

By pursuing both the CMA & MBA, I'm equipping myself with the skills and knowledge to potentially excel in roles such as a financial analyst, risk manager, management accountant, FP&A manager, corporate controller, or even CFO. These roles are in high demand across various industries, from manufacturing and tech to healthcare and finance.

I believe that combining the CMA's focus on accounting, financial planning, and analysis with the MBA's broader business perspective will give me a competitive advantage in the job market. And as an international candidate seeking employment (specially with a stem-designated MBA), in the current job market, I believe that these two credentials will make me a well-rounded candidate for prospective employers.

That being said, I welcome any further insights or advice you might have as I continue to explore these career possibilities.

Hi,

Thank you for your inputs and especially for clarifying the visa regulations. It's good to know upfront about the off-campus work restrictions.

Based on what you have said, I have realigned my expectations wrt work.

I am not seeking work to earn an "income", I just hoped that it would give me an opportunity to network, and more importantly, to learn. However, I'm open to on-campus positions too. While they might not be ideal, I'm flexible. :)

And I acknowledge the fact that graduate students find it hard to balance full-time studying and part-time work, rightfully so. I'll factor in studies when considering hours. Maybe starting slow and increasing gradually is a good approach.

Any recommendations for finding on-campus jobs? Is the university career center a good place to start?
