About
Accounting, audit, banking, investment analysis, corporate finance. Entry is a CA, CFA or MBA track, a campus placement at a bank or Big Four, or a BCom with a strong first job. Financial analysis and auditing are the skills the graph sees before people move on, and the most common next step is operations, usually running a function rather than reporting on it. Mumbai is the centre; Delhi NCR, Bengaluru and Hyderabad follow.
