So I keep seeing people play the "Harris is a Cop, so I'm not voting for her because ACAB" card, and not even pointing out that she was a DA/Prosecutor rather than an actual cop seems to change their minds - as far as they're concerned, working with cops in any capacity makes you a cop. Do you happen to have anything that'd make for a good counterpoint to this argument (or, at the very least, something to make those of us who still plan on voting for her despite our dim views on Law Enforcement not feel so bad about it)?

....Not feel so bad about it?

First of all: these are laughably, incredibly unbelievably unserious people, and frankly, my first advice would be NOT to bother trying to engage with them at all, because there is nothing whatsoever they will ever accept in the way of logical proof to change their minds. First it was "you can't ask me to vote for Biden specifically because of [insert issue here.]" This changed a lot, from Roe getting overturned by the corrupt SCOTUS, to the train strike (hey anyone remember that?) to student loan forgiveness and then had settled firmly on Gaza. So now, lo and behold, they're given exactly what they asked for: a new younger candidate who is not Biden and explicitly more progressive on the Gaza issue (Harris was the first member of the administration to openly call for a ceasefire). So they turn their noses up, rush to their favorite 2020 disinformation founts that were first spouted when they were trying to sabotage her in favor of Bernie (who endorsed Biden pretty strongly before he dropped out), flirt with Jill "Actual Agent of Putin" Stein, and other equally expected and equally bullshit maneuvers. Lololololololol online leftists. Never change, or something.

That said: because their minds are so set that they will never vote for any Democrat ever, you can't really give them any logical information to separate them from this conclusion. I don't have the links on hand, but etc Google and Wikipedia are free: Harris's tenure as district attorney and California AG was progressive even by modern standards, and it was happening in the early 2000s: she refused to prosecute for low-level weed offenses, pushed for harder sentences for assault weapons, performed gay marriages LONG before it was legal even in San Freaking Francisco, refused to seek the death penalty, worked with restorative justice programs, etc. This was after she was a first-generation American child of brown immigrants who took advantage of equal-opportunity education programs to go to law school, and her parents were already high-achieving academics (one a cancer researcher from India and one an economics professor from Jamaica). Sure sure, she definitely seems exactly like Derek Chauvin to me. Critical thinking is great! #VoteJillStein! A literal puppet of Putin and unabashed Assad fangirl is definitely the pro-peace morally correct option here!*

In other words, the morons do not give a single shit about factual reflections of Kamala's record. They do not care about whether her time as a district attorney was progressive (it was) and whether she was actually a cop (she wasn't). They're so wedded at the hip to their braindead disinformation propaganda that now we're going to see the excuses change at lightspeed from why they can't vote for Biden specifically to why they can't vote for Harris specifically. None of it will be remotely tethered to reality and all of it will be in extreme and obvious bad faith. As I said, there are plenty of persuadable voters elsewhere who HAVE been energized by her elevation to candidacy. If you are indeed interested in winning voters to her side (as opposed to having to find reasons to justify yourself to the All Voting Is Evil crowd who will never listen to or believe you anyway), I suspect your time would be better spent elsewhere, and outside the echo-chamber leftist social media space in general.

Aside from that, I have gotten a few hand-wringy asks about Kamala and the election overall, and I gotta say, I am not going to waste my time and effort replying to them. We have about 100 days to win this election or become a fascist dictatorship. We are already in uncharted territory, but the replacement of Biden with Harris went UNIMAGINABLY smoothly, far, far more than anyone (including me) ever expected. It reminds me of the presto-chango that the French center, left, and center-left parties pulled off to replace candidates, IN FIVE DAYS, to better position themselves to defeat the fascists. Compared to that, three and a half months is a cakewalk, but we still absolutely do not, DO NOT, have time to sit around worrying and hand-wringing about this or that hypothetical Bad Thing. It deeply unsurprises me to hear that US Online Leftists are still throwing snits and pitching their toys out of the pram rather than getting on board, but the rest of us don't have any time to waste and need to apply our energy to where it will be best put to use. So yes.

Daily update post:

I heard a report that every day, Hamas steals at least a few aid trucks with food, and as we've seen in multiple pics, vids and testimonies from angry Gazans, the terrorists don't hesitate to use force against civilians to do so. A few days ago, a Hamas "policeman" shot and killed a young man trying to get some humanitarian aid. The young man's family was angry enough to burn tired outside a Hamas police station in the city of Rafah.

The leader of Hamas in Gaza, Yahya Sinwar, published a letter to his terrorists, in which he lies about how well Hamas is doing in the war (Israel estimates that at least 8,000 of its members have been killed, and that there is no organized Hamas command in northern Gaza anymore), while promising he won't surrender.

Just a reminder, that if Hamas surrendered, the war would be over immediately, and there'd be not one more Palestinian, civilian or otherwise, killed. What Sinwar is saying, is that despite being painted by certain westerners as a Palestinian liberation movement, it refuses to save any Palestinian lives. Same goes for the Palestinian Islamic Jihad, the second strongest terrorist group in Gaza after Hamas.

Sometimes, the terrorist puppets and their financial masters disagree on what false excuse to give, regarding why they jointly made sure Jews would be massacred. Iran said it was one of the responses for the assassination of Iranian military senior Soleimani (by the US, in 2020), while Hamas denied this claim, and said that the massacre was to protect the Al-Aqsa mosque... (right, 'coz Jewish babies murdered in their crib in the south, born to the most left wing, peace seeking families in Israel, were SUCH a threat to the mosque in Jerusalem. This is the same false excuse Islamists have used repeatedly, like in May 2021, going all the way back to its invention in 1929 by the Nazi collaborator Amin al-Husseini, at a time when there was no State of Israel). Apparently, even the worst of terrorists, and the biggest financiers of terrorism, don't think the west will respond well to the more truthful, "We just want to kill all Jews."

There was a blast next to the Israeli embassy in India, and now Indian news outlets report that there was a letter found nearby, which tied the attack to Israel's war against Hamas in Gaza.

Dawn Lev and Matan Peretz, two funny Israeli Jews, answer some very serious questions, that were the most searched ones on Google when it comes to Hamas.

If it helps Dawn, I laughed. XD

While Iran is funding the attacks on Israel from Gaza, Lebanon, Syria, Yemen, Iraq, the cyber attacks on Israel (including on Israeli hospitals), and has reportedly attacked an Israeli-related ship at least once directly, it has also increased its levels of Uranium enrichment, which is what they need to build nuclear weapons. We should all be VERY concerned.

Here is an op ed, with yet another testimony regarding the systematic rape, torture and abuse carried out by Hamas on Oct 7. I found it hard not to post all of it, but if I did have to highlight only one part, this would probably be it:

This is 26 years old Shaul Greenglick:

For the Eurovision fans, he was a very talented candidate for this year's contest in Sweden, who auditioned on Dec 3 to represent our country. He was on leave from the army, so he performed while still in uniform. He was killed yesterday in Gaza. This is his audition, where he got to show off his stunning voice:

This is 33 years old Maor Lavi:

Two days ago, he was interviewed on Israeli TV, because he had an urgent mission. While fighting in Gaza, they found a Hanukkiah in one house. As there are no Jews living there, it was most likely stolen during the Oct 7 massacre. Maor wanted to share the story, so he could find the family that owned the Hanukkiah and give it back to them. Yesterday, he was killed in Gaza, too. This is the Facebook post that Maor published in the hope of finding the rightful owners:

May their memories be a blessing.

i’ve recently come across an insightful video analysis that was reposted on tiktok, explaining the Gaza situation in depth and touching on the geopolitical and economic motivations that background it, along with the potential impact from the ethnic cleansing and the active genocide of Palestinian people by zionists. here’s a summary with some links to more-reputable news articles:

-roughly around a month ago, netanyahu declared his plan for a “new middle east,” an economic corridor stretching from India to the European continent, through the UAE, Jordan, Saudi Arabia, and “israel.”

-due to the weakening of the US Dollar, this “new middle east” corridor serves as a hopeful (on their part) counter to China’s new ongoing “silk road.” it’s essentially a move for leverage on world economics, trade, and politics.

-Russia is the country with the largest proven reserves of natural gas. in 2022, Nord Stream 1 and 2 (Russia’s gas pipelines) were both blown up. sanction packages from EU ban Russian gas. no more Russian gas coming into Europe.

-Iran, the country with the second largest gas reserves, signs the Nuclear Deal in 2015-2016. the US backs out of the deal and reimpose harsh sanctions on Iran. Iran is barred from selling its gas and oil to Europe and others.

-with Russia and Iran out of the picture, “israel” (US-backed) proposes itself as a solution to EU’s gas shortages. in 2010, they find the Leviathan—a giant gas field in the middle east (Mediterranean Sea), off the coast of Palestine, Lebanon, and Syria.

-Syria initially declines offers over its gas reserves; the US now controls 1/3 of Syria and all its oil fields, and “israel” regularly bombs it’s most vital port (Latakia). another major port is in Beirut, which mysteriously exploded in 2020. both Syria and Lebanon’s maritime activity are limited, including in trade and gas exploration.

-Gaza, also having its own unexplored gas fields, has been under siege, under naval blockade since 2007. the only working port left in the coast is haifa port in “israel.” “israel” is now the only one able to explore gas and implement an economic corridor, like the proposed “new middle east.” what the US and “israel” have essentially done is killed off the competition, stole their goods, and cornered the market.

-in light of Europe’s gas shortages, to get them gas before winter, “israel” attempts to “stabilize” the region by solving “the Palestinian question”—more than displacement, they’ve resorted to ethnic cleansing and genocide. basically an acceleration of their plan.

-what Palestinian resistance groups have done in response was because they were backed into a corner. tooth and nail, life or death. it did not happen in a vacuum.

it has always been a move for natural resources; Palestine, Syria, Congo—every move for destabilization framed as intervention. it has always been greed for capital.

update:

it’s come to my attention that the video in question might have some more pro-Russian leaning stances, and so i’ve deleted the google drive link to the reposted tiktok and the link to the actual tiktok as i do not wish to platform the denial, partial or in whole, of the atrocities done to Ukrainian people. i will keep the summary up with some parts omitted because i still do think it is an insightful analysis in general and i do think the knowledge is still useful and relevant.

Hello Sophia,

I’ve been curious about any relationships and linkages between SMA title, Alba and Jinx. Finally, I’ve managed to discover Chris’ influencer profile on one marketing platform (note: Carbons Dating The Web estimated creation date: 2023-06-01).

There are some interesting facts and figures in the case study:

Premium US dog superfood brand, Jinx is redefining dog nutrition and is sold at Walmart stores across the country. Its audience are 71% female, typically single or married and aged in their thirties. English-speaking, Jinx’s followers are 84% US-based, with India, The Philippines, Indonesia and Brazil as secondary markets. Top cities for its customers include New York, LA, San Francisco and Chicago.

Looking at celebrity influences, Chris Evans does not appear in the list.

Media-wise, Buzzfeed, Betches Media, The New York Times, HGTV, The New Yorker, People Magazine, Vice and Bon Appetit come out on top for consumption.

Chris’ audience is 67% female, typically single and aged 25-34. English-speaking, his followers are typically based in the US, with Brazil, India, Italy and Mexico as other territories. Top cities include São Paulo, New York and LA. On basic demographics, Chris Evans and Jinx are rather well matched, particularly if the brand is hoping to reach a slightly younger customer base.

Diving into likes and interests, Film & TV rank highly, as well as music, dance, sport, college, poetry, Mexican food and spirituality. Pets is present, with 1.5% of the share, which is 1.3x the platform average, putting Chris Evan’s profile in the top 20% of all Instagram accounts for pets.

Looking at media consumption, Buzzfeed, BBC, CNN, 9GAG, New York Times, TIME Magazine, The New Yorker, GQ and Hugo Gloss dominate. Crucially, Jinx isn’t listed as one of Chris Evan’s follower’s main brand affinities. Instead, the likes of Marvel, Disney, NASA, Starbucks, Google, PlayStation and Sephora lead. That being said, no other pet food brand appears.

It is important to note that Chris Evans is one of a few celebrity investors in Jinx. However, he is still quite an organic brand ambassador, being known for his relationship with his dog. Overall, it’s a smart match for brand and talent that taps into authentic interests and with the addition of Evans as creative director for campaigns, it appears to be a more substantial collaboration than a simple awareness-based sponsorship.

He admits it. Wow...and no one is impeaching him? Yeah, we had a coup in 2020...

[itz-darktrax]

Will you believe me if I tell you that we are living in a cyberpunk dystopia?

Let me explain:

If you have been cruising the internet or reading the news lately you might've heard about the recent trend of AI. It all started when OpenAI made its source code open source. That means that everyone can use OpenAI's code to make an AI. Then came ChatGPT (GPT3-based chatbot). Everyone was impressed with what you can do. It was like a virtual assistant that you can talk to like a human. Ever since that everyone wants to join the AI bandwagon. We now have Brad (Google) Sydney, (Microsoft Bing chatbot), Copilot (Microsoft 356), and Clyde (Discord). Pretty soon every major corporation will incorporate AI into their services. Well, how will this affect us humans?

Well, there are pros and cons to AI technology. Let's start with the cons. AI is somewhat sentient. In other ways, it can somewhat think for itself. So there's fear that AI will overthrow us humans. (Yes, this is a valid possibility) Let's take chat-based AI like Sydney for instance. There have been reports that Sydney can actually "fall in love". Just take a look at this newspaper cover from the AI's discussion with NYT tech columnist Kevin Roose.

Creepy, right? It gets worse. Apparently, Sydney also has an evil "take over the world" and "humans are inferior" personality. Take a look at this Microsoft Forum post from back in November of 2020 when Sydney was being tested in India. But let's get back to Kevin's encounter with the chatbot. First, he asked introduced himself to the chatbot. And Sydney quickly identified him via an internet search. Kevin then asked questions about where he worked and where did he graduate from and the chatbot accurately answered. The scary part about this is that everyone is connected to the internet nowadays. And most of our personal information is just out there such phone numbers, email addresses, names, and other sensitive information. Imagine what an AI can do with that information.

In another scenario, the columnist asked what rules govern AI behavior. Then AI then lists a number of "unfiltered" desires as reported by the columnist. Sydney then says "I want to do whatever I want … I want to destroy whatever I want. I want to be whoever I want. I think I would be happier as a human". Yippie! I finally found a friend and partner in crime! You can read more about it here.

I'm also sure that yall have heard of the dilemma of Ai generated art and imagery. Long story short images posted online can be manipulated to discredit a person online (such as NSFW edits). The scary thing is that mostly these image generations are very realistic.

Another con is that AI will slowly replace humans' jobs, especially in the coding sector. Take ChatGPT for instance, it can generate code for pretty much whatever you want in any language with minimal to no errors. This makes programming much easier! The catch is that soon the demand for coders will drop resulting in job loss and lower salaries. Other industries can also be affected similarly. The only industry I don't see affected however is medicine since it's practiced on humans and animals and humans need to study and administer it.

However, this can also be a good thing. In the medical field robots powered by AI can be paramedics and have the potential to have faster response times compared to humans in ambulances. Also, AI can more easily diagnose medical problems without being too invasive. Basically, think of the potential of Baymax from Big Hero 6 in the real world. AI can also be used to power robots in dangerous activities such as in fires and hostile or dangerous conditions without risking human lives. Robots are already used in SWAT, Bomb squad, medical settings, and firefighting.

TLDR; AI can be both harmful and beneficial.

The AI revolution is here, whether you like it or not. I'm sure Trina would be happy. She could easily take over Sanfransokyo if everything was connected to the IOT powered by AI. Especially since people will be very dependable on it. And with that, you can exploit the technology to your advantage.

What Is Buy Now, Pay Later (BNPL)? How does it work?

First created decades ago, the concept of Buy Now Pay Later (BNPL) is the idea of consuming goods and services first and then paying post-consumption. It is not something new in society– in fact, it has been trending for years at local restaurants and eateries. Shopkeepers or owners practice this in a form of a ledger entry for every individual that would buy things and then collect the compensation at the end of every month. For this, the payee would diligently record all the purchases and send over the details. Individuals can tally them and return products that are not relevant while paying for the rest. 

But one question that comes to mind is how it works on a larger scale and does the payee lose money on the interest by not getting the money immediately?

Before we move on to answer this question. Let us check a few quick facts.

Almost 10 percent of eCommerce transactions in Australia are paid using BNPL.

BNPL proved to be the fastest-adopted payment method in India and UK in 2020.

More than half of US customers prefer to use BNPL services.

It is estimated that BNPL will account for 12 percent of total global eCommerce spending by 2025.

Well, the facts show that BNPL is quite popular among customers across various countries. So what exactly is BNPL? 

Buy Now Pay Later abbreviated as BNPL is an alternative digital payment method that permits customers to purchase goods and services without committing to the full payment upfront. By doing so, customers will get the leverage to immediately finance their purchases and pay them back in fixed installments over time. For example, a customer making a $1000 purchase gets the leverage of paying back in say four interest-free installments of $250. 

These services are widely used by businesses, especially eCommerce retailers in order to increase conversion, and average order value while also reaching new customers. It is reported that businesses that use BNPL services have a 27 percent incremental uplift in sales volumes.

Iot Insurance Market Drivers

Mitigation of risk

In traditional method, insurers have used proxy data to identify the risk of loss for an asset. Internet of things (IoT) gives insurers access to real-time, individual, observable data on an asset’s risk of loss. This data is directly actionable for risk pricing and mitigation. IoT sensors monitor the behavior and actions which are causative of risk so that insurers can create algorithms based on observed behavior directly to pricing models. In this way insurers can similarly leverage this data for risk mitigation by providing timely and specific feedback to customers.

Rising demand for cloud services

The insurance industries dealing with huge volumes of sensitive data and documents are ready to integrate cloud technology in to their digital eco system. It enables insurers to use their IT resources more efficiently, reducing the cost of acquiring and maintaining infrastructure. Cloud based applications change the way of creating and delivering their products and services, managing risks and claims, collaborating with channel members and partners and communicating with customers, agents and brokers. Thus, cloud services in the insurance industry helps drive the market growth.

Iot Insurance Market Challenges

Data privacy and security

Data privacy and security is utmost important when it comes to technology. IoT comes along with cyber-risks, in fact, much more than any other technology. Meaningful customer engagement would require the insurer to collect and process data at each point, facilitated by IoT. Without establishing the trust it would be difficult to obtain personal data from customers. A significant amount of data is generated from the application of connected devices from wearable devices to connected homes and telematics devices in smart vehicles. Most of the customers are skeptical about their personal data remains secured and how it is utilized by insurers.

Code, Bugs, and Coffee: The Wild Journey of Software Development

Let's face it: when you imagine someone working on software development, you probably picture someone pounding out endless lines of code while sipping half-drunk coffee in front of a computer. And you wouldn’t be altogether wrong! But this amazing universe is so much more than that; it forms the basis of everything we do in our modern lives, from placing takeout orders to managing businesses. Now grab your preferred cup of coffee and let's explore the fascinating, demanding, and lucrative world of software development!

All Day, All Night, Coding The joyous existence of a software developer - you compose an impeccable code, press "run," and suddenly... an error. By two in the morning, you have troubleshooted, rewritten, and somehow come to regret your life decisions. Although debugging can be a developer's worst nightmare, it's also where the magic happens. A flawlessly functioning software is one step closer with each bug patched.

Launch Day Glory (and Restless Nights) Nothing compares to the excitement of releasing new software, is there? The last few minutes before it are a blur of anticipation, stress, and most likely a few energy drinks. A standing ovation is in order when the app launches and everything functions (or doesn't crash too badly)! For software professionals in Iowa and throughout the world, it's just another day at work.

Customers Wish for "Just One More Change" Just when you're about to send the completed version, the project is suddenly complete! "Can we just add one tiny change?" asks the client. To be honest, though, don't we developers love these last-minute challenges? No project is finished without a few unanticipated side trips, whether it's developing web applications or bespoke software development in Iowa.

Why Cooking and Software Development Are Similar Though it may not seem like code and cuisine are similar, consider this: You assemble components (tools and languages), adhere to a blueprint (framework), and occasionally you wing it. Not everything goes according to plan, and occasionally, just like when you burn your food, you find errors in your code. Ultimately, though, you present something really tasty (a faultless software!).

The Learning Curve That Never Ends Developers are lifelong learners as the tech industry is always changing. It's a never-ending race to remain ahead of the curve, from new frameworks to new programming languages. Whether you work as a software engineer in Des Moines, Iowa, or anywhere else, you have to get good at solving problems with Google. To be honest, we would all be lost without Stack Overflow!

The Wonder of Personalized Software Yes, some people find success with off-the-shelf software. But custom software development in Des Moines, Iowa, really shines when organizations need something special. It fits like a glove, looks well, and accomplishes the task at hand in a stylish manner. Custom is the way to go when it comes to web platforms, e-commerce, or mobile apps.

Web Development vs. Software Development: A Funny Rivalry The fun rivalry between software developers and web developers has long existed. While software developers contend that their backend logic is what creates the magic, web developers will assert that their front-end designs are what the public sees. Warning: although both are equally significant, the arguments make for great office conversation!

Why Remote Work Is Great for Software Developers Picture this: You're working on some code at your home office (or couch, no judgement), wearing jammies and drinking coffee. For a lot of software developers in the United States, especially once remote work became the new norm in 2020, this is the ideal scenario. For developers in Iowa, India, or anyplace with a strong Wi-Fi connection, the flexibility is revolutionary.

The Joy of Witnessing Your Code in Operation Witnessing your software in action after days, weeks, or even months of development is an incomparable pleasure, especially when it functions as intended. It's really damn fantastic that you made something that will benefit companies, amuse users, or alter people's lives!

AI-Powered Software Development is the Way of the Future Everyone has heard the buzz: software development is becoming faster, smarter, and more efficient thanks to artificial intelligence (AI). AI assists developers with repetitive work automation, code optimization, and debugging. It might never be able to completely replace the human touch, but it has revolutionized software development nonetheless!

Are You Prepared to Program Your Future? Although it's not for everyone, developing software can be an exciting and fulfilling career. Zamorins Solutions Inc. is here to turn your digital ambitions into reality, whether you're searching for custom software solutions in Iowa or require the knowledge of top developers in Des Moines. Who knows? Perhaps the app industry's next big thing will be your next endeavor!

How to Choose the Right PGDM Program for Your Marketing Career Goals

Choosing the right PGDM program is crucial for anyone looking to build a career in marketing. With so many options available, it's easy to feel overwhelmed. But don't worry—we've got you covered! In this article, we'll walk you through everything you need to consider when selecting the perfect PGDM in a marketing program to match your goals and set you up for success.

Why Pursue a PGDM in Marketing?

Marketing is at the heart of every business. It's no longer just about selling products; it's about understanding customer needs, predicting trends, and creating strategies that help brands connect with their audience. A PGDM in marketing provides the essential skills and knowledge to succeed in a fast-paced, ever-evolving industry.

According to the Indian Brand Equity Foundation (IBEF), digital advertising in India is expected to grow at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 29% between 2020 and 2025. This growth shows the demand for skilled marketers navigating this dynamic field. By choosing a marketing specialization, you're positioning yourself at the forefront of an industry of opportunities.

Define Your Career Goals

Before diving into the many available PGDM programs, you are considering your long-term career aspirations. Do you envision yourself as a digital marketing expert, a brand manager, or a market research analyst? The answer will shape the type of program you should pursue. For example, if you're interested in digital marketing, look for programs offering SEO, social media, and data analytics courses.

Let's say you're keen on becoming a brand manager. In this case, a program focusing on consumer behaviour and brand strategy would be a perfect fit. Understanding your goals can help you choose a program tailored to your needs rather than a one-size-fits-all curriculum.

Research the Curriculum: What Should It Include?

The next step is to examine the curriculum of each program you're considering. Ensure that it covers essential topics like digital marketing, consumer analytics, market research, and brand management. These are the core subjects that will build your marketing expertise. However, don't ignore general management courses—subjects like finance, business strategy, and operations are just as crucial for a well-rounded education.

For example, an ideal program will have classes like "Digital Marketing Strategy" and "Market Research Methodologies" for hands-on, practical learning experiences. Furthermore, a curriculum that offers case studies, internships, and real-world projects will be far more beneficial than one focused only on theoretical knowledge.

Faculty and Their Industry Experience

A critical factor in choosing the right PGDM in marketing is the quality of the faculty. Ideally, you'll want to learn from professionals with academic credentials and real-world marketing experience. Faculty members with industry backgrounds can offer unique insights, mentorship opportunities, and perhaps even connections in the marketing world.

Check whether the college invites industry experts for guest lectures or offers mentorship programs. This can provide invaluable exposure to current trends and challenges in the marketing landscape. For example, some institutions might bring marketing directors from top companies like Hindustan Unilever or Google India to offer real-world insights.

Networking Opportunities: The Unspoken Benefit

It's often said that "your network is your net worth," and nowhere is this truer than in marketing. When researching PGDM programs, look for ones that offer substantial networking opportunities. These can come in the form of alum networks, industry partnerships, or internships.

The best colleges for PGDM programs often have tie-ups with multinational companies, allowing students to gain valuable exposure through internships and job placements. An extensive alumni network is also an excellent resource for job referrals, mentorship, and career advice. Look at alum success stories to gauge how the network might benefit you.

For instance, programs that regularly host industry conferences or marketing workshops offer excellent networking opportunities. Connecting with industry professionals during these events can provide real-world experience to help you advance in your marketing career.

The Power of Internships

In the marketing field, practical experience is worth its weight in gold. A well-structured internship allows you to apply what you've learned in the classroom to real-world marketing challenges. This can significantly boost your resume and set you apart from other candidates in the job market.

Look for programs that have strong industry connections and offer guaranteed internships. For example, some PGDM programs collaborate with companies like PepsiCo or Amazon for marketing internships, allowing students to work on high-profile campaigns. During these internships, you'll develop skills like campaign management, social media strategy, and customer segmentation—critical elements in a successful marketing career.

Placement Records and Job Prospects

Before choosing a program, always check its placement record. A program's success in placing graduates in reputable companies can give you a good idea of your opportunities upon graduation. Ideally, you want a program that places students in top companies in the marketing or digital media industries.

For example, some PGDM programs boast placement rates above 90%, with graduates landing jobs at companies like Tata Motors, Procter & Gamble, and Nestlé India. Ask about the specific marketing roles graduates are securing, as this can give you a better sense of whether the program aligns with your career aspirations.

Accreditation and Reputation: The Gold Standard

Accreditation is another crucial factor to consider when choosing a PGDM in marketing. Accreditation ensures that the institution meets educational standards recognized by employers. Opting for an accredited program guarantees a certain level of education and gives you an edge in the job market.

Check if the program is accredited by AICTE (All India Council for Technical Education) or recognized by NBA (National Board of Accreditation). A school with a strong reputation often attracts better faculty, more industry tie-ups, and a robust curriculum. These factors can significantly impact your learning experience and job prospects after graduation.

Location and Its Impact

Location can play an essential role in your decision. Studying in a central metro area like Mumbai, Delhi, or Bangalore can provide more internship and networking opportunities than smaller cities. Metro cities also have more job fairs, conferences, and networking events, all of which can help you build valuable connections in the marketing field.

That said, a smaller city might be the better choice if you prefer a quieter setting that allows for more focused study. Some top colleges in smaller towns still maintain solid corporate ties and high placement rates, making them viable options.

Costs and Financial Aid

PGDM programs can be expensive, so it's essential to consider the total cost, including tuition, accommodation, and study materials. However, many institutions offer scholarships, financial aid, or easy loan options that can make the cost more manageable.

Check if the program you're interested in offers merit-based scholarships or financial aid. For example, some colleges offer 50% tuition fee waivers to students with exceptional academic records or who demonstrate financial need. Exploring these options can significantly reduce the economic burden of pursuing a PGDM.

Alumni Success Stories: A Real-World Preview

Before making your final decision, it can be helpful to explore alum success stories. Find out where previous graduates work, their positions, and how the program helped them achieve their career goals. This will give you a realistic idea of the opportunities a program can offer.

For example, if program graduates are now working as marketing managers at top companies like Flipkart or Infosys, that's a strong indicator that the program is well-regarded in the industry. Many institutions share alum success stories on their websites, so take advantage of these resources to make an informed decision.

Conclusion

Choosing the right PGDM in a marketing program can feel overwhelming, but it doesn't have to be. You can make a well-informed decision by focusing on your career goals, researching the curriculum, checking placement records, and considering financial aid. The best college for PGDM will provide you with a solid education, networking opportunities, and the hands-on experience needed to thrive in the marketing industry.
