I’ve navigated key career decisions across CA, work experience at HSBC, and now transitioning into an MBA at IIM Bangalore. Through this, I’ve spent a lot of time thinking about trade-offs — whether to continue in a role, pivot, or invest time into exams like CAT.
This conversation is for those who are confused about their next step — whether it’s CA vs MBA, job vs CAT, or how to think about long-term career direction.
I won’t give generic advice, but will help you think through your situation more clearly, based on first-hand experience and what I’ve seen work (and not work).
The goal is to help you make more informed decisions and avoid common mistakes early in your career.
