New phase...

MBA got over in a blink of an eye. Two years at AIM were like a roller coaster ride. I hardly realized when they got over. Nevertheless, they ended on a positive note with an offer from Pepsico. It inducted me in their one year mangement training program with final posting in a finance role. The program is tailored for fresh management graduates. It is intended to give trainess a feel of how business happens at the root level. The first half consists of a sales stint, which is common for all trainees irrespective of their final functional responsibiities and the second half consists of functional stints.

I have finished my sales stint and will be beginning with my finance stint from today. In the next one month I will be going through brief stints in plant accounting, sales accounting management and a unit finance manager stint.

Pepsi is giving me the cross functional experience, which I always yearned for. I don't want to be associated only with finance. I want to develop business insights, which can only happen through cross functional exposure. In that sense, this new phase in life has begun on a positive note.
