What are the career options after doing B.com?

After reading this question, I presume that you’re looking to pursue a Job right after B.Com, and not looking to do any PG.

If that’s true, then i was in the same boat as you, when I graduated from SRCC in 2017.

Right after college, I got placed in EY as an audit assistant. And within one year, I left the job to pursue my own interest – which lies in the food industry. I joined as an account manager with Limetray, where I used to handle manage a vast portfolio of B2B clients. I’m now working with Dineout (Almost in the same profile!)

Many of my classmates also got placed in the core finance domains – Majorly equity research, investment Banking and corporate finance. Almost all of them moved on to do MBA after taking 2-3 years of experience because qualification part was limiting their growth.

Some of them moved on to give government examinations – Namely upsc, SSC, Bank PO etc. One can give such exams by doing graduation in any field. B.com isn’t necessarily required.

My most successful friend (out of all) is into Digital Marketing. He didn’t even pursue any course after graduation, neither did he climb up the corporate ladder. He setup his own agency and he’s financially doing quite well.

To summarise – Right after B.com, you’ll mainly get roles in Audit, equity research, Business development (Not core marketing). And if you’re fortunate enough, you can acquire freelance clients by acquiring non academic skills like digital marketing, content writing, web development etc.

In most of the cases where you move into a job, the growth might be limited and you’ll have to look for an MBA.
