Kid was the son of a billionaire. He only had one job - survive... to live the rest of his life as a king.

The pressure of expectations (stated or imagined) makes people do funny things.

But atleast still use common sense.... like even if you turn out an absolute disappointment you will still be filthy rich.

Which colleges in India have worst underground drug culture?

Which colleges in India have worst underground drug culture?- Grapevine

Just got to know recently that a tier 1 mba college didn’t conduct interviews as part of their admission process during covid. Just CAT scores sufficed. 

In addition to this, post admission, these batches didn’t have proctored exams, they could collaborate and solve the exams together and then submit their answers online. 

Please do reply if this was very common during Covid across other colleges and any other such crazy lapses across colleges.

Dark secrets about premier colleges

In another college, there is no resume vetting and people can and do add a lot of BS "achievements". 
 This is also the college with the largest intake and almost every second person has something like a director's merit list or an honors' list or they are a 'torchbearer'.

I find it curious at least that in my undergrad batch, out of all the people who went to abroad 80% of them were women. What factors would contribute to that?

[Pattern] Noticed recently that more women have gone abroad to settle than Men...

I am Pratham Mittal, Founder of Masters' Union. Ask me anything!

Hey Pratham  
  
 I was in the 2nd batch of MU  
  
 The placement report that is being marketed is not actually what happened in our cohort, why is it inflated or is there a specific way this was calculated ?

Overview: 
Everyone around me, be it old school friends to the people in the bangalore startup ecosystem are planning to or already in the process of doing an MBA. 

What is happening:
Most of the people I know, either are going for a tier 1 MBA in India or colleges like “Carnegie Mellon”/ “INSEAD”/ “NUS” these are really good places. 

Why am I concerned:
I dont have great acade, GEM candidate so I have decided to not pursue CAT at all, and MBA outside India is too expensive. 

I feel like my job and career are going fine with 4 years of professional experience I am making 25LPA in marketing. I am not keen on doing an MBA but I dont want to regret later.

I consider myself to be fairly smart but what happens when I am competing with people who have great brand names on their resume and are actually smart. 

People on GV with more experience, have you gone through this struggle? 


Sidenote: I also have friends who have cleared IIM ABC, ISB and not gone, because they just wanted the admit letter. Which is brave lol!

Will an MBA destroy your life or make it better?

Performance Marketer

Welcome to Software Engineers's Private Community

So my sibling is about to graduate with a degree in Computer Science from a T2 college in a few months and wants to now do MS in the US because of three reasons: 

1. Low levels of violence against women(Sexual Assault) [IMPORTANT!!]
2. Want to do innovative work in the US instead of working on copycat products in India
3. Ambition of living in the US long term because of free-er culture

But my parents have flat out refused to fund the education or even help her with a loan due to regressive mentality (nahi jaana baahar, 2-3 saal kaam karo aur shaadi karo chup chaap)

She has accepted a job offer for now and will make 14L/year. What are her options? Should she drop the idea of MS abroad?

What to do if your parents refused to fund your education(MS/MBA) abroad?

Two options -  
  
 1. As I read, she will making 14L, save aggressively and self fund herself to MS. Places like UoCincinati or Texas univs aren’t that costly. She might able to score a diversity scholarship/waiver as well. 
  
 2. Start looking for Germany based unis. They have minimal uni fee, she just need to maintain the living expenses.  
  
 My 2 cents - Working for 2-3 years before MS will bring more clarity and increase the RoI of investments.

What are some mistakes students do in college

Good morning seniors
I am a male engg student currently in final year
I have never been in a relationship and haven't talked to girls from the past 6 years for which I can remember correctly.
In my life till now I have approached two, which got declined citing religion, caste as barriers etc

I am a Jatt Sikh, and I am ugly and I accept that

Although it's foolish to think of that much ahead future, although I accepted that these things aren't for me and I will spend the rest of my life in tech and drawing stuff and gym and will explore other hobbies on the go

But still my mind constantly ponders me I will be lonely for the path ahead, and dual thoughts of even though I did get married, I will get cheated upon, getting scared of fake cases and will not find a vir*in

Plus I also get scared of even talking to women
Thinking the other gender has power to do what they want since laws are completely on their side

These thoughts are pondering constantly over my head for the past 6 months
Pls help

Should I get Married in future?

I recently came across some articles.

https://medium.com/@srikanthp2019/the-intentionally-hidden-truths-of-iim-calcutta-3fc36cfd7e30

Does ragging of such scale where the seniors time and again disrespect the juniors and humiliate them really happens at top B-Schools( i m talking about IIM A,B,C,L,K,I, FMS, XLRI etc) l.

I am from one of an old IIT and haven't faced any ragging or harrasment from seniors over here apart from the freshers party where the seniors themselves told that if you are not comfortable then you can leave. Not one incident after that. Instead it has been a total opposite scenario and the seniors are too helpful here in a variety of ways. I have friends in IIT Bombay, Kanpur and Delhi and they too told me the same thing.

I was very surprised and astonished when I found out that kids age 18 years old aren't engaged in ragging at IITs but adults age 23 years+ doing their MBAs are doing the same at IIMs.

PS: I plan to pursue an MBA from an IIM in the future but such incidents are a big turn off for me hence I wanted to know the reality.

Ragging at Indian B schools.

NMIMS Hyderabad asks unplaced students to “opt out” of placements. The things these B Schools will do for 100% placement!

Wow, what’s even more surprising is the reply: seems like students are actually agreeing to it.  
  
 Wonder what kind of pressure tactics they’ve used here.

Saw a similar post somewhere from an European and I think it’s pretty valid for India.

For context, I am in my early 30s, a home owner, living in tier-2 city with a pretty high salary. Recently got married and my wife also works as an Enterprise AE for a listed US company. Our cost of living is pretty low given the house and tier-2 city. Even if we had a kid, the overall cost of living will not change a lot. 

I got to where I am, economically, by a combination of hard work and luck. Luck definitely was a huge part of it. Knowing the right people at the right time, working on the right technologies helped a lot more in advancing my career a lot more than grinding for good grades. Even the ability to buy a house without much debt, was partly because I was lucky to sell my shares in a fairly small startup. 

It would be easy to say things aren’t economically bad based on my own experience or that of my close friends. However, when I look at things more objectively, I can’t help but come to the conclusion that we are screwed as a generation. Except for maybe the top 1%, salaries are not keeping up even with inflation. Housing costs, specially in tier 1/2 cities are unbelievably high even if you want an average apartment. Jobs are no where to be seen. The whole generation is living in the hope of the stock market rally never ending. This seems completely unsustainable as a nation. I might be doing well for now, but I still recognise how these are real problems for most Indians, who’ve been waiting for India’s century for 20 years

Given that the services industry contributes more than 50% to the GDP, the current state of joblessness, the overall sluggishness in IT and related sectors, and the fundamental changes happening to the way IT services now work, I wouldn’t be surprised if we see a complete recession in the next 4-5 years.  

Lately, there has been a lot of criticism of anyone expressing anger on how bad things are but I think it’s helpful to talk about this.

Is it possible for those doing well to still acknowledge how our generation is screwed economically?

Great post, I was thinking to jot down something similar.     
 The way I see is that our generation(I'm Gen Z), is financially fucked due to 2 main behavioral changes:     
 1. Increase in consOOmerism: We're zoomer consoomer. GenZ is known for show off culture. We will buy the latest and greatest phones on EMI every 2 years. People spend thousands on sneakers, bags, branded clothes.     
 2. No Savings: People are no longer saving money. My then girlfriend used to got mad at me in market when I tried to bargain. Its considered a turn off lmao. People find bargaining bad now... like I'm looting a poor guy. People don't realise how much our parents sacrificed and bargained everyday to save money.

With all the hookup culture rising in bangalore and tier 1 cities, people are getting drunk and having sex with strangers. 

Have you ever observed in your friend circle people getting infected with STDs or HIV.

How common has HIV become or is it still rare and I am worrying without any sense.

Hookup culture

School fees in India sucks
