BA in Finance Domain
Thu 01/18/07 by varunnadgoudaThese days IT firms are recruiting candidates fresh out of MBA course.
Points for discussion in this regard:
1. BA's who do not have experience in the business side (Front office Operations), will that be a handicap in the long run?
2. Which are the specific areas such BA's in Finance domain should develop over a period of 1to 3 years when they begin their careers?
Regards
