Depends where you are in finance. If you're good at modelling then consider analytics in the marketing & sales divisions. Always looking to utilise data on customer preferences and habits to make more money.

@Barc1: highly doubt that skill set from modeling is transferable to something like Marketing analytics or behavioral analytics or analytics of any kind. The analytics and modeling required in those jobs are more like regression, logistic regressions, predictive modeling (probability of an event happening, someone buying based on what they view in store, etc) and like. Software packages typically used are Matlab, R, SAS, in most cases. OP, If you have stats, math, engineering, etc background where you see these skills, make sure to highlight these for roles in any analytics type role. Need pivots at the end, sure, but getting initial data and identifying segments needs much more work

@HSBC1 sorry I'm a quant, that's the kind of modelling I meant 😅

Product management?

@Barc1 my bad... I thought you meant typical 3-stmt modeling etc.

@HSBC it's a fair cop. :)

Hi all,

I interviewed with capgemini for SAP ABAP role and my YOE is 4 years. Just 2 hours after my interview, I got a call from someone at Capgemini saying that I am selected.
They just asked my notice period and current location.I asked them, what is the next round going to be and they said that it is going to be salary discussion. But till now, no one has reached out to me.
Does it mean they got another candidate for same job?
If they get back to me, how much should I ask?
Current - 9.9
