Such an amazing discussion.
I think there’s more space to talk and make another video on this topic which could be not just about comparison CA vs MBA but about the fields in which we can go and is opportunity cost of doing it.
Comparison of IIM & other International B schools with ISB
Eligibility for ISB (with CA in your Resume)
What are the are things which will help you as a CA in network building with VCs or Some Business Partners
I think you focussed more on Job Profile after MBA
Hi Rishabh,
We're glad that you liked it. We'd like to also showcase pre-MBA careers other than CAs now hence you won't be seeing specific videos on details about CAs at ISB. The host and the speakers will be happy to help you out with specific questions you may have if you reach out to them via LinkedIn.

Team MCC
Amazing initiative bringing the Professionals on the podcast. Request to make a video with the Legal professionals at ISB :)
Hey sure,
We will try to arrange this.
Best regards!

Being a chartered accountant myself this video gives so much clarity of why to pursue MBA from ISB specifically, just wanted clarity on whether ISB can help pivot my career to other domains for instance now I have an experience of working in FP&A and fund accounting of close to 4.5 yrs so can an MBA from ISB help me pivot my Career in Investment banking or for that matter any other domain?
We're glad the video helps you, Aman!

Guys, when is the next upload happening!? It’s been sooo long!
Suggestion : you can bring in a student who worked in an Indian startup and pair them with someone who worked in an MnC.
Will be interesting to hear their insights!
Thanks! (Please upload soon!)
Hey Austin!
We've shot the episode on Doctors but haven't really found the time to edit it. We're going through our placements season hence hopefully once we're placed, we will edit and upload the next episode :)
How did ISB became a top college in India competing with even IIMs . That is a story to watch for.
Hey, great podcast. I am a marine engineer planning to apply in R2 it would be really helpful if you could do a similar podcast with mariners from your cohort.
Hey sure, we will try to arrange this.
Best regards!

Great
Hello, I enjoyed watching your video. I am a student, and as part of my project, I am organizing a seminar on Global Finance. I'm looking for someone who has experience in finance-related work. Would you be interested in being a guest speaker?

Aapne apna dimag nhi chalaya CA krte time practically,
Its your fault buddy, not of CA course.
If you are good CA, then you are capable of handling best of CFAs and MBAs.

Dear Darshan,
No one mentioned that it's the fault of the CA course. Our speakers and host just stated how an MBA broadens their horizon in life by giving them cross-functional, industry-agnostic skills that multifolds their possibilities.

Paisa hai reason
Dear @2611monu,
It's not the case with everyone. Some of our students take a pay cut from their previous salaries/earnings just to do things beyond what an average CA does.

I don't understand why ca is doing MBA when ca is more valuable 😅
mba from isb is definitely far more valuable than ca
Agreed....ca is nothing before iim and isb graduates
Dear Manan,
It's not a fair comparison. We have immense respect for most of the CAs who don't choose to do an MBA. They do extremely well in life and contribute to the society significantly.

Theres a misconception regarding which career is more valuable. But the fact is they are 2 different streams and ca has more value in domains like audit tax accounts etc. On the other hand mba has more value in domain like consulting investment banking or core finance jobs . So it is upto those people about what domain they choose and are willing to work in
CA is more onto to regulatory side of entities whereas MBA is more onto to ACTUAL business part of it.
Need both in any entity. 🙂
