Lol…. Being from IIT and still joining these scaler type schools

Never understood the appeal of paying for these schools when there's a huge amount of good quality materials available for free.

IIT and Rick and Morty are very much alike. Both are good but a large number of cringe people think they will be perceived as cool / smart if they keep bringing this up

Can someone point to this LinkedIn post? I just wanna ask in the comments if he’s from IIT 🥺

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

IITians always have a headstart in most of the things , be it interviews , be it asking for funds from VCs , be it meeting with board of any company to present their ideas and much more . I wanted to ask one thing that if you are even a metallurgy student in BTech at IIT BOMBAY then you will be able to land roles in consulting, IBs , product, growth but is the situation same for mtech students at IITs who are planning to puruse their masters , will they have same value

About IITians

My nephew has both these options (and IITD/B Mech,etc) to choose from . From the perspective of career growth, which one is better. Consider all factors like prospects in CS, institute brand, etc that help in building a career.

Genuine question. No hate. I've seen a lot of people from particular colleges, treating others like they're nothing. We respect your hustle of getting into a college a lot of people can't . But can you chill out now???

Why are IITians so entitled and fragile about this tag??

Content Strategist

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.

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.

So obviously I prepared for jee, joined coaching etc and didn't perform well in jee adv but was able to get a decent new Delhi college (one of those popular ones). The middle months after jee and before college started were a bit sad, but I was able to fit in well in my first year itself. Few of my classmates from school/coaching got into iits but I lost touch with them, but I remember they were humble and normal when I studied with them. But in my college years, when I attended fests or met with any iit peeps in some competitions or stuff, there was always a strong ego vibe coming from them, even when I met up with a coaching classmate who was humble in the beginning, was totally changed after being in iit. And like, I can understand having some ego if you've achieved something materialistic like getting a big job. But why do the ones who have achieved literally nothing in iits also have so much ego?? For nothing literally. I've never met a humble iit student who has  not mentioned 'iit' in every second sentence.

Mostly referring to btechs here, cuz the mtechs/PhDs still feel fine and welcoming.
I fr thought all these feelings might be because of some inner dissatisfaction that I didn't get into iit. But even after passing out college, getting a good job and seeing things from a neutral perspective,they still feel the same.

Why are IITians so egoistic and annoying (Rant)

Data Scientist

Hi, I am currently 22, graduated recently from a tier 2 institute and currently working at a US based startup earning 18lpa ( almost all base ) + rsu's, lately my family have been nagging me to do a postgrad, I am confused weather I should do an MBA, MS or not do a postgrad at all considering the years I will miss in workex. 

What should be my best course of action considering ROI in the next 10-15 years ?? 

P.S. Currently I am not sure what my interest lies in, but just try to excel at whatever comes my way.

What should be my next steps ?

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