What are the career & job prospects in India and abroad for B.Com (Hons.) in Financial Markets Management?

Talking about career and job prospects in India after B.Com (Hons), it isn't having much of opportunities as there is so much of competition out there. So yes, it can be said that B.Com (Hons) is not enough for good career building. The exception is that you studied from SRCC or Hansraj that can get you placed with a package of 10 LPA or so. Hence, it is advisable to go for post graduation or some professional qualification in order to build a career. Talking about the job prospects abroad, it carries hardly any opportunities out there. See, I agree that skills do matter but in order to show skills, it is essential to get a job or get an interview call which isn't easy with B.Com (Hons) degree nowadays as there are so many others with BBA and Master's degrees. And yes, companies prefer management graduates over normal graduates.

Dear Students, As of now, in the current scenario, I would say that there is probably very low or no scope for getting an entry in financial market management jobs after completing B.Com (hons.). As people are pursuing CFA, few are done with level one and now if you take an example of a candidate with B.Com (Hons) degree and other with B.Com (Hons)+ CFA level one, it's quite obvious. A company would prefer the one with relevant sector knowledge and skills hence it is very important to add value to B.Com (Hons) qualification in order to get a job in the financial market management jobs which can be added by PG programmes or various certificate courses in the capital/ financial markets. All the best for your career. Good luck!
