Hi Sejal Bhodia, I have graduated with a BSc in IT and worked as a Mobile game programmer for 3 years. Currently, I am pursuing my MBA and am confused about which specialization to choose between Finance, Marketing, and Operations. Can anyone help me out?
Thank you.

Choosing Your Career Path: Finance or Operations?
What would you like to do in life? Join a finance company or a manufacturing/services company on the operations side? Search the web and see what is involved in both functions and then decide based on your preferences.
Have a nice day.

Yes, your statement indicates that you are confused not just about your education but also about your career. You have a BSc in IT with 3 years of work experience in the technology/programming field. Let me ask you one thing: why do you want to change your function and pursue other applications and courses? You can continue your career in the same technology/programming field. Are you not happy with your current work?
Before considering anything else or any other courses, you must take into account your current educational qualifications and work experience, which really matter. I don't think you can afford to lose this if you change your field.
Suggestion for Career Path
If you still want to change your function and work field, I would suggest you go with Marketing and Operations because your current experience can also be valued while continuing your career in these areas. There are many aspects of the Marketing and Operations world that can support you. I don't think I need to emphasize the value, scope, and work of Marketing to you.
However, I still suggest you remain in the same field and continue your education with the same skills. You can pursue further courses in 3D Animation, Technical Skills, and Programming to enhance your skills and open up more opportunities. We all know that we are moving towards an advanced and high-tech world, so there is nothing stopping you from achieving the best and securing a good future in this field.
Considerations for MBA Specialization
Secondly, you mentioned that you have already taken steps towards further education, pursuing your 2nd year of an MBA. With what course/specialization are you doing your MBA? How can you ask about specialization after starting your MBA? This is a question you should have addressed before enrolling in the MBA program.
This is the reason I understand that you are feeling really confused about yourself, your career, and your life. I hope you understand the points I am trying to convey here.
Best of luck.

You are in a typical situation, which most MBAs invariably encounter. As a management faculty, my opinion on this is: ask yourself, what is your interest area? Whatever your mind says, follow it. Success in any domain is strongly correlated with the passion you have in that domain. Hence, it is prudent to pursue your interest or passion rather than others' ideas.
If you do so, you should have the guts to stand by your decision. I am saying this because sometimes, in the short term, you may not earn a higher salary than your peers or have little scope in your selected area. But I am sure that in the long run, if you put your heart and soul into your endeavor, you will definitely taste success.
Your attitude determines your altitude, not your elective! All the best.

I have heard from many people that finance has potential. My personal advice to you is to choose the area in which you feel comfortable. Since you are interested in it, you will be able to excel in that area, as there is an opportunity for the best in any field.
