Trying to see companies that people here have had the dream to join, but didn’t ultimately work out. Have you now grown over it?
For me it was McKinsey It was the best job out of college, status wise.
Did well in college and made it to the final shortlist. Was obsessed with it, read books and all about The Firm.
Then the interviews happened, couldn’t convert. Was a downer.
But 5 years later, doesn’t matter much. I feel life taught me better things. And my fascination of consulting jobs has changed drastically since :p
Saw this it seems :p https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AiOUojVd6xQ
This only further cemented it 😆
Bright Money, folks seemed very bright too. Good culture, great learning. The pay was the issue.
Have I grown over it - no, not really. At times I feel my growth there would've someday compensated for the hike I was expecting.
HyperVerge, excellent team and ethics. Was eyeing them in 2019.
Then moved to a different space so it didn’t make much more sense.
I got laid off from my dream company Microsoft which I had got after converting my internship into a PPO. Couldn't really understand why it happened because I had always achieved more than 100% of the targets and the layoffs happened when Microsoft was having its best ever quarter. The layoffs happened because some Partner of a VC firm penned letters to Google and other Tech CEOs that they need to fire employees. I never really got over it, and don't know how long it will linger. But I really hope other's find peace and I find it too. :)
None
Did you get everywhere you wanted to be? Or did you never really dream about a company?
Yeah I never had a dream company. But in the last 3 years somehow I have been at the right time at the right place.
Had quite steep learning curve, took immense responsibilities and had a great impact on company metrics.
Plus my pay has always been much above market median.
So overall I'm quite happy with my career curve and I know it couldn't have been better.
What were the reasons you chose one company over another but later on regretted it ?
Also what are the most important things one must know before finalizing the company to join.
