Default MBA(priv uni)+Engineering(NUS) can do what niche job?Who will employ?

MBA(priv uni)+Engineering(NUS 2nd upp) can go what niche job?Who will employ?What kind of job suitable?

MBA+ engineering good combo? Can niche away from competitor in today's job market?

Or the MBA is just put on namecard because its some priv uni? :s13:
Or jobs destined to kanna stolen by FT?


Where can niche?
Who will hire?
What kind of job suitable?
How to build barrier of entry from FT?:s11:

my intention is not to compete against the mainstream hot jobs like elite investment banking or management consulting. My intention is to find a niche in anywhere that pays well, and have little competition to steal away my job.

Just like marketing concepts where you dont directly compete with others, you find a niche and stay focused on that.

If you're looking to join a big name MNC, just wanted to share that typically MBAs from a private uni counts for very little, if anything at all. Salary-wise you wouldn't factor anything extra into the comp package, but it might hopefully help you be considered for an interview.

1st thing: you type like a greenhorn fresh grad. Employers don't care about whatever lofty concepts you have. they just want somebody pleasant who can get the job done.

With that in mind, a fresh grad taking on a MBA with ZERO work experience is a plain waste of time and money because you have no fking base to work on. People join MBAs becasue they want to bring their business highger to a new level or they hafta gain certain certs and caccreditation to take on a new role. nobody takes a MBA just for it to sit pretty on your dining table for intellectual masturbation. This also gives a huge sign to HR that you have no idea of what kind of line/industry you're interested in therefore I just do MBA lor.

Wake up your idea and choose a sector/industry you want to work in and stop dreaming of castles in the sky when you're barely standing on your own feet on the ground.

ok so back to the question at hand

What kind of jobs are good to niche?
I was thinking along the line of technical + commercial + finance kind of job.
a few jobs come to my mind
- corporate strategy for engineering company
- business leader, technical business
- marketing for technical products
- M&A in the tech space

I suggest you wake up your idea!

With only a basic bachelor degree in engineering and a MBA you bought privately, all the above jobs you want are way beyond your league.

Seriously, no work experience at all buy a masters then can be business leader or corporate strategist or M&A tech specialist... Like that can everyone will just buy a Masters and be high flier liao.

these are not very high flyer job lah. these are typical manger job. I guess you have no idea what u are talking about to immediately label them as "high flyer"

high flyer job is earn 10k per month investment banking, management consulting type.

Hah what talking you? Just go some place and buy a Masters and you want to start off with a "typical manager job"? Wait long long...

You kind of CV probably not easy even to get an entry level associate in a big company and you want to be a "typical manager" job? Has studying a masters fry your brain or something?

a niche job is by definition a job that is very rare in the market and require some special expertise / connection that 99.9% of the population dont have.

how is a guy with no work exp and degree & pte masters niche in anyway. also it is thick skin to say you want to be a business leader when you havent even work 1 day in ur life

Are you for real? 5-6 years work experience still talk until so naive like a fresh grad? No wonder everyone just assume you freshie... Some more try and act beng by spewing vulgarities, really childish man.

Haha good luck on your journey to upgrade from chao engineer to corporate strategist, I'm sure lots of niche companies are desperate to tap your power up private masters degree.
