Entry level finance jobs!!!!

**chandrashekhar.kj45@gmail.com** · 03-09-2009, 01:12 PM

I was working with Jindal Steel for 3 years and want to switch to an investment management job. It seems almost impossible without a top tier MBA. I have tried CAT a couple of times but got in the 95 %ile range. Also GMAT is expensive and I cannot afford that. So what can I do to get a investment management job? Will my 3 years in manufacturing industry be a waste as I'll get an entry level finance job?

Hello,

The best option for you will be to get atleast the first 2 levels of CFA and keep trying for a good MBA course.
The CFA charter is valued a lot in the investment management industry.

Also your experience will not be a waste because there will be some transferable skills. You can always talk about your data analysis skills etc.

I agree with Nidhi and just wanted to tell you how you can turn your manufacturing experience into a competitive advantage. When you market yourself for a job, you can say that you want to be a Research Analyst for the Metals and Mining industry.

For such a role, you'll need deep understanding of the industry. Thus your experience at the steel company will be of great importance. Then you can mention the finance program or certification that you decide to pursue. So your metals and mining experience with the finance skills will be a good fit for an analyst position.
