A degree in commerce seems to automatically drive students to either go for an MBA or CA and lace it with other finance degrees to upskill.
🚀 The career path to becoming a VC starts here at AltUni’s Certificate Program in Venture Capital in association with Artha Group. Learn from Industry Experts + work on a Live Project + get an Interview Opportunity with Artha Group + get interview prep & More! Apply Now: bit.ly/3VvdZ24
Our guest today falls under that group of students. Kanika Agarrwal started to work at EY after her commerce degree and prepared for CFA during that time.
She talks about why MBA did not happen in her career and how Investment Banking and Venture Capital worked out quite naturally.
She talks about her journey to getting into Investment banking, handling some of the crazy jobs she did as an analyst, working with Mayfield where she invested in some early-stage companies like Matrimony, Amagi, The Beer Cafe, and Triphobo.
Tell us in the comment section what part of her journey inspired you the most and what you think about her career decisions.
Stay tuned to know the rest of her journey, where she will talk about how she quit her job to start her entrepreneurial venture, what is it that Upside Ai is solving, and why finance enthusiasts of today should not just follow the set path.

I'm currently in ca inter Can someone guide how can one get into feild of finance

@user-eu4tq4ow6n 2 жыл бұрын

CFA, arguably the best finance course out there. So maybe after clearing CA Inter you can do CFA L1 and L2 before CA Final along with articleship.

@kushaggarwal1352 2 жыл бұрын

Do you think if you haven't done CA then you would have as successful as you are today? Because the field you are working in requires the knowledge of CFA. I have just cleared with 12th now confused weather I should pursue CA or not but I have a clear goal to do CFA and do something in finance sector. A reply will be highly appreciated.

@sathvikreddy9708 Жыл бұрын

If u want to do CFA then complete ur graduation first.

@TheRanby Жыл бұрын

when you do CA it means you are doing the best course in finance and CFA is just add-on

CFA doesn't make or break your career rather it would just be an add on.

Hello. I am in 12th now. I will do a mba sometime in future. Right now can anyone guide me what should I go for. SRCC prep or CA foundation. Which will benefit me keeping in mind I will do an mba definitely

@romancena2332 2 жыл бұрын

I'm in CA inter, cleared Ca foundation just after school May 21. I'm in BHU, I was thinking of taking a drop, write CUET and go to SRCC. I think you have your answer

@anshuraj1707 2 жыл бұрын

I would say SRCC with CA Foundation. Many do that and SRCC name will be beneficial for articlehip.

Idk why women always put themselves down that way by downgrading themselves telling they didnt do stuff. If it was a man in her place they would just exxagerate their experience at Big4s, their Cfa path, their high ambitions of Harvard etc. Women are always so low on confidence despite great acheivement, imposterism :P

classic idiot. You people have a classic habit of patting yourself on the back. All the men that I have seen on this channel or in real life in general have always been more humble, funny and chill. This classic victim mindset in something that didn't even required that just makes you annoying and nothing else.🙂
