Hello,
I have an undergrad in IT and a postgraduate degree in Economics. I'm an Indian citizen. I am neutral between working in IT vs working in Finance. I enjoy both. However, basic research tells me that "Finance" works better than "IT" for adcoms (especially for Indians). For this reason, I acquired a few finance certifications during the course of my education.
I recently received a job offer to work at KPMG as an IT advisor. The position is based in Hong Kong. I made it clear at the beginning that IT was my last preference. However, they still felt that I should be in IT. Now, my question is, what should I do?
Option A) Accept it.
Option B) Try to get my division changed. (I don't know if this is possible)
Option C) Reject offer. (I doubt many other companies would be willing to sponsor my work visa)
If I choose option C, I will most likely setup a business. However, personally, I have some debts to settle and wanted to hold off on the business until I could settle them.
What option would any of you recommend and why?
EDIT: To make it clear, I do want to do an MBA in the future. I'm currently 21 and want to enroll in the next 4-5 years. I would like to join a top tier school which has a focus on entrepreneurship.
