Recruitment climate: India is the best place to find opportunities in investment banking at this point of time with more global outsourcing happening and more big IB’s moving to India for their captive units. TCS takeover of Citibank back office operation is a classic example of how the business structure is evolving and hope we can witness similar acquisitions in this space in 2009.

College climate: In the campus recruitment space software jobs are replaced by recruitment in BFSI (banking financial and insurance sectors) with more commerce graduates placing into MNC’s with big packages. It’s no longer a surprise to hear of an MBA package at the mediocre college at Rs. 20,000, this can be reflected in the seats fill up at engineering and commerce colleges where the latter seats are filled first before anything else.
