Hi Aditya

In life we pick up alot many things and loose many things as time evolves and same is true for career as well.

if you aim to go for hard core finance i.e investment banking, equity research etc etc , i am afraid your knowledge of coding will not be of much use but at the same time your knowledge of IT and insight into working of IT will help you make a better deision about the financial performance of a company, so ur IT knowledge will be of help in a broader sense.

If you wish to move into business analyst position or BDM position then again you wont be dealing withcodes per se but athe same time will have a much greater grasp on issues that programmers face and hence you will be able to use it.

having said that I must tell that you shall focus more on your path of liking rather than what isthe flavor of season. if youlikefin and you want to b in that just go rather than worrying about the potential loss of acquired knowledge

so go ahead CAT is calling

:)

peace joy & living

amen

BDM is Business development Manager

investmentbanking is more about M&A, equity analysis, fund raising. to know about business analyst job , all you have to o is to touch base with any of TCS bizz analyst.

regarding opening a company of your own, well i will say it is too early to say anything. in this environment big firms as well as boutique firm operate. to touch base with entrepreneurs just go to this site
