Hi Ashish, the best job prospects for you in math will be after you have a post graduate degree. Depending on your choice you can go in for either for a M.Sc or MBA. If you wish to have a career in management field, then a MBA would be a good choice. An MBA program provides, theoretical as well as practical knowledge, which can benefit a professional tremendously in managerial and administrative roles. It helps in getting into Sr. Executive positions in public sector and government jobs as well. Needless to say, the kind of job you will get and the salary you will be offered will to a large extent depend on the reputation of the B-school you graduate from and the stream you choose for MBA.
Most MBA programs are two-year post-graduate programs. . Applicants are usually required to take a common entrance exam like the CAT, MAT or GMAT. These tests comprise numeric, erbal and non-verbal reasoning.MBA degree gives students an insight into all aspects of a company. Courses include basics in Accounting, Economics, Financial Planning, Law, HR, Strategy and Leadership skills. In the second year the student gets in-depth picture of the specialization that they choose. The options generally are- Finance, Human Resource, Marketing, Retail Mgt, Personnel Mgt and Industrial Relations, IT and Systems etc. Once you have completed your first year, you will have better clarity on the area you are interested in. It is important to take care in selecting your field of specialization, as it invariably leads to your first job, and potentially a significant part of your career. The decision should be driven by interests, aptitude areas and career goals. . Looking at your qualification, an MBA (Finance) would further leverage your present qualification. Finance requires extremely high analytical ability, playing with numbers and balance sheets and needs an individual to be fond of being at the complete back-end. MBA Finance offers you opportunities in Corporate Finance (ie the finance department of various companies), Banking (Retail Banking, Corporate Banking and Investment Banking), Equity Research, Stock broking, Mutual Funds Management and Venture Capital.
However, we generally recommend that when you choose a specialisation, you give more weightage to your interests and talents. That is, pick a field that you enjoy studying and doing projects in and specialise in that. If you choose based on your interest and strengths, you will find that you will perform much better and will be able to get good opportunities in whichever field you choose. All the best!
