Dream Small…
Hi Friends
You would be really surprised to have a look on the heading of this article “Dream Small”, when all the genius people out there are shouting “Dream Big”, I am whispering “Dream Small”, ofcourse that means I am not a genius. Keeping jokes apart, this is for all MBA-Freshers who are expecting big bucks after completing their MBA. “Dreaming Big” is not an issue but achieving that dream always starts with small steps. It is said that “Rome was not built in a day” similarly you can’t demand higher salaries because you are a MBA. What if you are a MBA? Are you having anything else to boast, about which the corporate world would appreciate. If yes, then go out and shout “I am having this X thing which could meet Y Company’s expectations and for the same reason, I should get salary of ` Z”. The point is to think big but build small, something you can be proud of.

If you don’t have the things to boast about try for Plan B. Make your career plan in such a way that you start with small company with small salary learn lots many things over there of-course at the Company’s cost, look out for options and in next couple of years take a big leap. Being a Placement Officer with KSMCS, I hear lot many times that students are saying; that I am having 2 years of work-experience and my last salary was ` 20K. So they must get at least that amount during placement process. My question to them is that if they are having experience of selling pharmaceutical products and they are applying in a Financial Company, how much relevance of their experience is to the latter company.

As you are pursuing your MBA, you must be aware that MCA is always a Three Year Program, can’t you take your MBA also for Three Years, in which Two Years are focused on academics and One Year is for practical training where you would be getting minimum stipend.
You must be hearing that
