Life post Placements...
So placements are done finally...
and a guy like me.. who cribbed till the end about the process.. to the extent of not applying to most of the companies.. finally ended up with both the offers in hand... and the bast part is that it was done in 2 straight interviews...and both the offers were enviable in their own regard...
(atleast thats the feeling that i got from others)
now it may be the right thing to be proud of this conversion rate.. but somehow i am not getting that feeling ...
i guess i am not satisfied...
..after all i have taken the company which was offerin me significantly lesser package than the other one...
but i always crib.. i keep cribbing till the end... till i finally get there...
so i guess things are fine.... i mean they have to be fine as i myself chose them to be like this in the first place...
so probably its my nature only...
ok decided...things are fine!!
:)
the other difference i feel now is that life is chill...
though for me..it has always been so...
(for good or for bad)
but others seem to be lot more worried than before.. i still fail to understand why they are worried when there is such a great oportunity lying ahead in next round of placements...where companies are more than number of students available... and all are who' who in their sectors.
Porbably these are those gifted "focussed" people who want very specific profiles... so the competition seems magnified... can't comment much on these as i am intellectually incapable to work at such laser focussed frequencies.
Aother thing is that I expected myself to be chilling out a lot afer placemnts..
but no such thing actually happened...
now it appears that there wasnt much scope of any improvement either!
One last change i found is that i use to read a lot of books which were not required at pre-placement stage and must have been read after placements... but as the thing got over.. i gave up on the books too..
it appears i am good at doing the right thing at the wrong time and ofcourse vice - versa :)
Don't know if anything else changed in life... but i was waiting for somethings to change...
dunno what exactly... but something must have changed...
afterall placements is not a small thing for a b-school grad!!
still nothing changed.....

Although i've already told him in person.. but as always Kochar forced me into writing this.. so here u go..
Kochar...You've always given me new reasons from time to time to find a new refreshing quality which was undiscovered in the past...a quality which forces me to cherish our friendship that bit more..
Kochar.. your analysis of the situation at hand is always so different and definitely thought provoking...wow.. Count me as one of your many fans.. PERIOD!!!
bas ho gaya raaji ya aur bhi likhunn.. :-)
well i guess this was sumthin i shud hav written 4 d previous blog but i guess this wil do 2.
ur observations abt d way orgs sell themselves is very astute!
d thing i particularly identify wid is d lack of euphoria n relaxation post d d-moment.........dissappointingly at least in my case)things still seem d same!
wat were the 2 offers ??? u didnt tell that ... :)) n whr r u heading finally ?
Kochar ...this one is really good n it gives a bird eye view to guy like me who is no way associatd with B schools.
.but....dude ..why do u keep on carping for everything u get..i read all your blogs n found the same thing.....there r umpteen instances of folks who r equally competent but land up no where.....ny ways.. u use to be a very casual n carefree guy during college days...
i don't from where did this philosophy and gyan came into u r head........or u have become more pragmatic...
good keep it up ...nauti
