No Option, No Future!
The bidding euphoria is on a full swing at ISB and people are really using all the management fundas like game theory, influencing, extensive number based analysis etc to calculate how much they should bid for each subject .It works out to a BIG number no matter what method you use. So an eccentric soul like me is faced with questions
Them: How much are u bidding for Fixed Income?
Me: Not taking
Them: I thought u ar a CA. Y are u not majoring in Fin?
Me: I am but no Fixed income
Them: Options and Futures?
Me: Not taking that either
Them: r u nuts? Which I- bank will recruit u if u havn’t done Options, Futures and Fixed Income
Me: not really interested in I banking
Them: Then? Consulting??????
Me: May be.There is other stuff also
Them: What other stuff? U got grades?
Me: @#$%&%$#
Them: Dude u are making a mistake
Me: really!
Them: NO I banking means no future for Fin major. U got to apply to Goldman and Deutsche
Me : uhhh
Them: Take Options and Futures. Bid 1500 points
Me: [Wondering]
Is there an option or a future apart from “Options and Futures” and will I be able to earn a fixed income without the “ Fixed Income” course? I don’t know. But I don’t see how the situation would change even if I take these courses. As far as first round of bidding goes I am not taking these no matter what "they" say
Last day of Sec A. Term exams in 2 days. Lots to do.
