Hi I’m 27 yrs old, completed my M.Com in 2020, No job right now I'm trying to enter finance by building skills through the Jobaaj Investment Banking programfinancial modelling, valuation, equityresearch

I wanted to ask you honestly:
• Given my background, what roles are actually realistic to target first
• What skill or experience gap do you see most candidates like me missing
• If you were in my position today, what would you focus on in the next 3–6 months?

I’d really value your perspective.

1. Depends on what this get into. Finance is vast.

3. Apply blindly to every opening. Try to reach out to people asking for referrals.
