I don't think KPOs are inherently bad. They may be a good place to start learning. However you'll not want to stay in that KPO for a long time. For e.g. you can start as an analyst and jump to an ibank as an Associate.
Captive KPOs work for that co. only. So McKinsey Knowledge center is a captive KPO for Mckinsey and serves it. However Evalueserve is a general KPO can serve different clients.
dear time4apogee
usually Kpo & investment banks hire engineers fresher for working on database softwares like SQl,SAS ,cognos etc or doing Modelling on EXCEL VB.
U can do one thing learn SQl, ,EXCEL VB ,increase ur knowledge of Finance .Dont panic ,make a planned strategy ,acquire knowledge make urself competent enough to enter in Investment bank as they attract finest talent.

SQL isn't tough right?.. I studied basics of it two years back...but that was real basics...creating tables, retrieving basic data and stuff :P ....simple basics!...don't know if that even counts as 'acquaintance with sql' :D
If you do an MBA in Finance, then you'll not be learning the C or MATLAB programming. However if you are doing a Masters in Math Finance, then you'll learn the programming stuff to create quantitative models. These finanl models can be for option pricing or pricing some complex derivatives like CDOs etc.
oh ok!....well, i dont wanna get into that....wanted to get into the managerial aspect of things....ive got very strong presentation and communication skills....im sure ill do very well on the front end....i like M&A/PE, etc....so wanted to get into such kinda stuff.....and im sure once i get in ill do well....hopefully CFA should help me get a few calls and considering my other abilities i should make it somewhere...
what exactly do analysts in M&A do?......i know that they make do excel modeling, create pitchbooks, etc and even get a chance to pitch for deals after working for a while .....anything else?
Hi,
Analysts spend most of their time with Excel. They are involved in the following activities:
Prepare complex financial analyses and models
Conduct due diligence investigations of client companies
Support the preparation of detailed pitch book and presentations describing the key attributes of client companies
Research potential buyers/investors and
Participate in various marketing and recruiting activities of the firm
