Banking after MBA from IIMThe problem with moving to a new industry is your work experience may or maynot be considered. Freshers were typically offered Management Trainees where as work ex guys will be offered Manager position after MBA from IIMs/XLRI. The chances of you moving to Finance are pretty good.
