If i have degree in business management what job can i do and how much would the salary be in the uk?
WHAT SORT OF JOB COULD I GET WITH THIS DEGREE
THE SALARY IN THE UK
Answer:
Retail, hospital, middle management positions. Salaries between £15,000 - £35,000, depending on experience and position applied for.
There are lots of graduates with business management degrees so competition will invariably be very tough to get a good, well paid position.
A degree in business management can get you jobs in many areas.
The most popular areas in terms of pay and prestige are
1. Investment Banking (rasing capital for companies through the capital and securites market)
2. Consulting (advising companies on strategy, technology, and other issues).
They are very competitive industries to get into, specially if you want to get into top firms.you should expect up to 6 interviews for top firms like McKinsey or for top banks like UBS. Your working hours will be very tough for investment banking, expect to work until late hours and expect to have to get up quite early. In investment banking however you get paid a lot of money (expect about 3,000 pounds a month shortly after starting e.g. 1 year)
Consulting requires a great deal of travel (usually) as you have to visit your clients wherever they are. This is a very varied and interesting industry to work in, but once again difficult to get into. but well worth the effort. You can also try inhouse consulting departments e.g. BMW has an inhouse consulting department, aswell as Siemens etc. and surely there are many companies with inhouse departments in the UK.
A third option could be Accounting, for prestigious firms like PricewaterhouseCoopers or Ernst & Young. The industry is not as prestigious but pays well.
I recommend you start applying as soon as possible and have the aim of sending one application per day. Do some research before writing your cover letter, print the research out and keep a folder for each company with the research, your application (cover letter and the CV you sent), and in total you should really be sending about 50 applications (not joking) and maybe 5 interviews (if you're lucky) before you should expect getting an offer.
I highly recommend the website www.vault.com
I recommend you buy the pdf career guides and read through them. They are very quick reads and tell you everything you need to know about specific industries.
Good luck, you can do it.
On the website www.findacareerhere.com there is a salary calculator that tells you salary and also gives you a job description. Hope this helps.
