Subject: Switch from callcenter to finance ?
Date: 5-Oct-2007
Question: I am 27 yrs old and currently working as a Team Leader in a leading Callcenter (techinical) having total experience of nearly 4.5 yrs. I have already taken up MBA(Finance) and planning to take up ICWA this year, so that I can then switch to finance after its completion (which will be in the year 2010 approx).
I am facing the dilemma of switching from Callcenter to finance industry. Should I wait for completion of both ICWA & MBA(Fin) and then move into finance or start right now. If I need to start off right now, how do I do it ? I can take a hit of max 15 % on my current salary viz 35,000. Also would like to know if BPO(financial) exp. would be held good in such cases. Please help me, I am totally confused.
Answer: Good, that sounds great! Its a well calculated move. Your focus, determination and the passion with which you have taken this step is commendable. Go ahead with your dreams! Nothing can stop you from tasting success.
An early start is always better and if you can get into the BPO(Finance) nothing like it, the experience will definitely give you an upper hand in not only understanding the finer details of the industry but also give weightage to your qualifications and show how focused and passionate you are about the finance sector.The course may take its own time but you can make a start. All the best
