Date: 26-Jan-2002
Question: Dear Sir
I Have done in Graduation in Commerce with Sp.in Management P.G. in international business (MIB MASTERS OF INTERNATIONAL BUSUNESS) 2 years Masters Programme from DEVI AHILYA UNIV INDORE completed in Aug 99 After completing the course I have joined the 100% EOU as an Export Executive, which is a part of Group Turnover=200 crore My question is - should I go for it and in IT which is the hot pocket in my mind (JAVA AND C) please advise me - is it good to go for IT or not? I have a computer literacy of 1 year

Second one is that I am doing PH.D. IN INTRNATIONAL MARKETING and the topic is SOFTWRE EXPORT FROM INDIA TO REST OF THE WORLD.

Another question is that functional experince of SALES &MARKETING (DOMESTIC) is good for IT &INERNATIONAL BUS. Please revert back to me. THANKS AND REGARDS.

Answer: Dear Ashish,
You have taken a very good decision of taking up the topic of software export in your Ph.D

This is the right way of entering in the IT industry for you. The IT industry has hot jobs for people who are computer literates and have a good experince in the area of marketing as well. Your current job will give you the much required experience as an export executive.

Continue in the same direction rather than diverting into Java/C programming. With your strong management/business academics and industry experience you are bound to get yourself into a premium position in the IT industry.

Good luck
Your counsel
