IITians not ready to work at ISRO at 5digit monthly salary.

Everything is so expensive right now. Is it wrong to think about financial stability.

Hot take: IITians are nothing but a cesspool of entitled bunch who think they are elite. An outdated classist notion of them being successful, whoever filters on the IIT tag will lead their company to utter annihilation.

What’s with the IIT thing here? How does being from IIT(And that too Masters, not BTech) help in grasping the concepts quickly?

Good to see 13 lacs+ Jee aspirants even amidst news of tech recession and what not.

If we assume 15M+ strong tech Workforce of India then 1M is knocking the door 🚪 every year.

💯% scoring in boards exam to exam like JEE, few alfa still able to get out of trap of snap and insta.

Really sad to hear news coming for Kota .. and there are many more such cases in India .. I am not directly affected nor my extended family for now .. But I think the problem they are trying to fix is - Parents should not put to much pressure.. Whereas I think the problem is 1)Kids are not taught how to handle pressure 2) they are not given assurance that if you fail no problem we are there 3) Parents putting too much pressure by putting in all life savings  or trying to fulfil they own desires 
Any other inputs to save lives of families being effected pls add . 
Unless we define the right problem - we cannot hope for solutions

Kota happenings ..

Is this happening because of all bhaiya and didi’s of youtube? IIT’s are not only for getting jobs.

Why this decline?

Because many of the top rankers now go to abroad for undergrad.

Just want to know career prospects and how it helped in long term from career perspective.

People who did Mtech. Was it worth it ?

Came across a scenario multiple times while searching for senior engineer jobs. I felt that in majority of the cases if the interviewer was from IIT, no matter how much experienced they are they always have a particular style of putting you down during coding or system design type of interviews where they have high acceptance to bookish answer rather than having an open mind to other solutions which can be discussed in details and probably has a far more chances of evaluating a candidate on core thinking and logical skills rather. What do you think? Have you also faced similar scenario?

Why do many IITians do dick measuring contest during interviews?

Welcome to Indian Startups's Private Community

The stupidity and arrogance of some leaders in some companies to use colleges as filter criteria for what is clearly irrelevant for the role. 

Mostly these idiots end up fucking up company after company creating these neo-casteist groups sucking off and living off each other.

This identity based hiring is the start of corporate politics. I still don’t understand how difficult it is for fucking idiots to understand that while hiring for most roles you have to encourage diverse backgrounds at the start of the process to help you hire the right candidate for the long term, specially in a startup. 

PS I’m not against preferring candidates from certain colleges if it’s relevant. What i do hate is this herd behaviour of trying to hire only from your alumni the moment you are given leadership roles.

It must be such shitty experience to work under idiots like these if you are not from their alumni colleges because their biases play into all evaluations they do about their teams.

Idiots hiring! Pocketfm edition

This is pretty common, has been like that for ages. It’s their company and their rules. You also have the freedom to NOT apply. Maybe they have had better experiences with candidates from top tier universities. Remember getting into most tier 1 colleges is itself difficult and only top talent make it. Also get better academic infrastructure, exposure to alumni networks, etc. So there are high chances they will do well. 
  
 Doesn’t mean that candidates from non-tier1 universities can’t excel. Some can be equally good or even better. Maybe these guys don’t want to take a chance with this role.

After seeing current placement stats of top IITs, even after Day6 not even 50% of the batch is unplaced can we say that 2024 is the unluckiest batch?

Students with good CGPA, having internships in reputed internships are not getting placed. It's worse for mediocre students.

What are alternativev for these unplaced students?

The unluckiest batch?
