HELP NEEDED TO HELP ME DECIDE

Hi ppl,
This is gaurav from bangalore. Am currently doing my MBA (hr) and am
in my second Yr. I have recieved an offer in the profile of my choice
(recruitment in a IT company) for a decent package for a fresher like me.
The CTC in 1.8 Lac pa. Now am in a fix as to should I continue the
education or take up this offer. As for my MBA and Exams, there will be
no problems or issues regarding the same. My college permits me to
work. Help me decide what should i Do.
Thanx in anticipation
Cheers

Hi Gaurav,
Congratulations for the job!! :D
I would suggest, you can finish your exams and then join this company.
Till that time you can ask them to wait, and generally companies do so.
It becomes very difficult to complete your studies and concentrate on that part which is very important as this is your specialisation year, whatever you have learnt till now is general things, specialised subjects will start now and need proper attention.
So, wait till finishing your MBA and with GOD's blessing you will get much beter offers. :)
Cheers

Congratulations Gaurav.
If you ask my answer is YES. If you just want to finish your study and then try for gaining experience and then search for a better company.. All this is going to take time.
This generation requires speed, Quality, Domination and mobility to get settled. Hard work is required. Never look for shortcuts.
Finally what ever people advice you, the final decision is yours. If you think, you are capable of working hard and you want to speed up the things, be on par with the best in HR... I would say not only books will help you. The real action in life will make you a HARD CORE....
Wish you all the best in anything you do

Hi Gaurav,
I have seen many make this mistake and pay heavily later. Finish your studies and then get a job. You will not only get a better package but also have a good degree in your hands. Don't get lured into this seemingly good opportunity - nothing is worth compromising your education. Enjoy your college days, as there will be no going back once you enter into your work life.
Tell the company that you can join only after finishing your exams - if they don't agree or try to lure you out - their intentions are nothing good for you.

CHR

Thanx a million guys for your advice.
Will surely think about it. Most of my peers say the same thing.
Thnx again n god bless
Archana, Kiran, CHR and Govind.

Well My confusion was about two things..
One, My college is flexible and I dont have to worry about the exams as well as the attendance. I WOULD get my degree.
But my concern is more than that, its the fact that AM I LOSING OUT ON THE THEORY SIDE OF IT or THE PRACTICAL EXPERIENCE IS SIGNIFICANTLY BETTER THAN WHAT I LEARN IN THE CLASSROOMS.
Two, My perception was that by the time I officially finish my MBA, I would have already got a years experience, which would definetly give me an edge.
Comments Please.

In my view you should take the job as it will give you practical insignt without losing your MBA degree.
all th best.

Hi Gaurav,
Practical experience is no doubt important. But you also need classroom experience I think, because many times the professors teaching you also pass on their practical experience to you. And as someone who has benefited hugely from a couple of professors like this, I think you should be patient. I dont think 1 year's practical experience when you should have been 'officially' attending college will amount to much.
According to me, it basically depends on the 'quality' of the classroom education ur receiving. If its not good, if its just 'dictation-type' of classes, then maybe u could accept this offer. BUT DO NOT BE TEMPTED BY THE SALARY. I think the criteria you should focus on is the quality of the classes in your college.

Dear Gaurav,
A proper evaluation of your problems/prospects should be done do come to a decision. It seems your college is too flexible on attendance. I personally feel that you must complete the studies before searching for a job. One should not miss classroom activities of management studies. Being in the college till completion of your studies should make you a better candidate in the job market.
The other aspect is whether you need to work right now. If there is a compelling need for that you can think of working. Do not join just because you are offered a job. Hope you will take the best decision.
