The Placement week in the B-school came. Many students was asking the route to the library. :) I saw different expressions in different students faces. Toppers seemed tensed. Bottomers seemed a bit relaxed as they have some more time in hand before the interview. Our batch had to hear motivation/Scaring (Recession) speeches from the vital committee, Director and others. Strict rules. No crying in the campus. Rules couldn't help. As time passed by lot of students joined the "Crying club". This include toppers too. The professor who considers himself the marketing genius next to Kotler told us that all you need is confidence to get a job. I was wondering if he had told that earlier I could have sat relaxed in his classes like we did in most of other professors classes. For few students the worst part of not getting placed early is not losing offers from good company but the advice torture they get from the fellow students. Once these guys get a job their confidence level will be high and they will start giving lecture which is boring than the regular lectures. They will go to an extend of saying "You should have got better grades". I am sure grades are least important if you have the aptitude, attitude and confidence. Though I don't want to advice I would want our college students to note these things before making a choice of any company:
1. Profile ----> If some passed out senior is working get a brief description of the role which will definetly help
2. Take home salary ----> If you are worried about the package find out how much you will get in hand. Other components of the salary u might or might not get. So be careful
3. Growth opportunity ----> If you are planning to stay in a company for a while then know how quick you can move to the next level
4. If you are looking at any other thing in a company then be ready to find a job on your own. Other things you can't choose.
Though it is not an interesting story I thought it will be useful to our juniors after a while. Masala stories soon.
