Hi Everyone, I need some advice in regards to changing careers. I am 28 M who has a bachelors in business administration for a foreign country and a post grade diploma from Canada currently working as a Customs specialist and i also work as a customer advisor for a insurance company i make about 100k doing both but cant see myself sustaining this over the longer term. What career paths I can go into from here that could lead me to better roles with higher income potential? Thank you in advance

Commercial banking or FP&A but without knowing the country or what your post grad diploma is, it’s hard to provide advice outside of generic based on your undergrad.

Also what is considered high income to you?
Lastly, where are you based?

Hi all 🙂👋🏻 Apologies for such a late post. I have an offer of 18 CTC(1L joining bonus) from Larsen & Toubro Infotech & 12.5 fixed from IBM .
My joining in both are in around May last week. Tomorrow my IBM pre onboarding HR will connect with me. Should I ask for a counter offer tomorrow itself?
Or should I ask 2 weeks before joining?
Many told me that companies revise CTC when the joining date is near, else they show less interest. So should I go for it now itself?
Appreciate ur inputs🙂

I am not authorized to negotiate so they will have to take it up with HR, but I am still just shocked at the reaction. Please tell me if I’m totally out of touch!
