Hi Manjunath,

You can go for the Business Analyst course. It would be beneficial for you to utilize your 5 years of experience in the banking industry.

Considerations for Pursuing a Ph.D.

If you are planning to pursue a Ph.D., you should have a master's degree. You have also not mentioned what major you took in your PGDBA. Before asking someone, ask yourself about the profession you want to pursue, as there are numerous courses available. Is your study aimed at financial growth or personal development? Conduct a SWOT analysis to identify and choose the right career path.

Dear Manjunath, like Sachitra says, you need to be clear about the reason for doing a PhD. What do you mean by "add value to your career"? Please see [Think Differently!!: 7 Steps to Developing And Using Your Own "Personal Balanced Scorecard" (PBSC)](http://think-differently.org) (link updated to site home) ([Search On Cite](https://www.citehr.com/results.php?q=Think Differently 7 Steps to Developing And Using Your Own Personal Balanced Scorecard PBSC) | [Search On Google](https://www.google.com/search?q=Think Differently 7 Steps to Developing And Using Your Own Personal Balanced Scorecard PBSC)), which may help you to focus.

Have a nice day.
