Specialisation: Finance
Strategy during lateral placements: We all know that the economy is not doing well. So it's not going to be a smooth ride like the last year. In fact, it will be a roller-coaster ride. I'd try to consolidate on my strengths because companies coming here to hire us this year will be very selective. Technical skills and talent is going to matter this year more than they mattered last year.
Expected package: I have no specific expectation from my employer. I would be more interested in getting a job that suits my profile and helps me in my career development.
Preferred sector: Consulting and corporate finance.
Insecurity about the current slowdown: It's not about insecurity. Maybe, I was feeling insecure two months back when it all started. I am pretty much getting used to this particular scenario. At the end of the day we still see recruitments happening.
About his student loan: I have taken a student loan of Rs 5 lakh at 11.5 per cent. My first expected EMI after I get my job will be about Rs 15,000.
