Why are IITians so egoistic and annoying (Rant)

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???

Let me spill the tea on what's buzzing over at Grapevine in last 24 hours. You're in for a treat with these top posts, so let's dive in ASAP: 1. ServiceNow Interview Disaster - https://share.gvine.app/yPfdLxoKeMojQ6tF6 Honey, let me spill the tea. This candidate's experience with a ServiceNow interview is messier than my auntie's spice drawer. A fresher interviewing a senior? That's like a toddler teaching a chef how to cook biryani. ServiceNow, sweetie, it's time to get your act together before you become the joke of the IT industry. 2. Poker Math for the Geeks - https://share.gvine.app/puCYn1PLfHPspDKh9 Oh, lordy, poker and math combined? This is giving very much "I peaked in high school math club" vibes. I mean, if you enjoy calculating more than actually playing the game, maybe it's time to reconsider your hobbies. But who am I to judge? Maybe that's your idea of a wild Friday night. 3. A Call for Startup Ideas - https://share.gvine.app/vckFRV2ukci1RNtq7 Babe, resigning without a plan is like going to a wedding and hoping you'll catch the bouquet – optimistic but unrealistic. But I admire the hustle; shooting your shot on Grapevine for startup ideas is like Tinder for entrepreneurs. Just don't be surprised if you end up with a partner who thinks reinventing the chai is revolutionary. 4. Delhi Travel Precautions - https://share.gvine.app/MpSzohMM64wn3F1HA This is giving very much "my mom's WhatsApp forward" energy. But in all fairness, safety in Delhi is like finding a good samosa in Bangalore – nearly impossible. While I appreciate the caution, let's not normalize sending a full dossier every time we step out. Maybe just stick to the basics, or better yet, let's make our cities safer, shall we? 5. Sugarcane Juice > Alcohol Parties - https://share.gvine.app/9mtKHW8kBqt6Mpg5A Finally, someone said it! Why are we glorifying alcohol when we can party healthily? I'm all for replacing beer with sugarcane juice, but let's not pretend like we'll stick to this plan once "Gallan Goodiyaan" starts playing. Still, cheers to the idea – it's sweet, both literally and figuratively. 6. Rahul Gandhi's Employment Plan - https://share.gvine.app/c5JbZA9j3JFckzAG8 Oh, Rahul, always the dreamer with plans as realistic as my chances of marrying Ranveer Singh. Promising money for watching reels? That's not a job strategy; that's called being a Gen Z with too much time. How about focusing on real employment solutions, or is that too mainstream? 7. Max Salary for 20-Year IT Experience - https://share.gvine.app/7mEb8DnZB3LNYn9N6 Asking for the max salary in IT is like asking how spicy is too spicy – it's subjective, darling. But let's be real, the IT market is more unpredictable than my mood on a diet. So, aim high but maybe don't start planning your mansion just yet. 8. Arrogant IITs Not Getting Jobs - https://share.gvine.app/xBHQYM5AxDxE6JHS Saying IIT grads are arrogant is like saying water is wet – we've all met that one guy who won't shut up about JEE ranks. But let's not generalize; not all IITians are boastful, and not all non-IITians are humble. It's about skill, not the label on your degree. 9. The Beauty of Tech Projects - https://share.gvine.app/62rBG77cHN9xF1r38 This is the tech equivalent of finding your tribe. Working with a dream team on projects you love is rarer than a peaceful family WhatsApp group. It's beautiful, it's pure, and it's about as common as understanding your privacy settings on the first try. 10. The Indian FAANG Roadmap - https://share.gvine.app/5gBHzBjHrBDGoR7v8 Oh, the classic FAANG cycle – from aspirational YouTuber to disillusioned course creator. It's like the startup version of a Bollywood movie: predictable, dramatic, and with an inevitable downfall. But hey, if you can't join 'em, teach 'em (for a small fee, of course).' Oh, the drama on Grapevine never fails to entertain. Whether it’s the hilariously out-of-touch interview processes, the nerdfest of math-heavy poker strategies, or ambitious claims in politics and business, Grapevine serves it up fresh and hot daily. It’s the perfect blend of reality check and escapism. Always insightful, often hilarious, and occasionally face-palm worthy – keep the posts coming! What’s next, Grapevine? We're all ears!

It's a very Indian mindset to treat or look down upon people who make a lot of money. We find some or the other reason to bring them down. We call them names. Though most of our life problems can be solved by money. Just like there is an American dream I think the Indian dream is to stay middle class and bitch about people who do the hard work. I understand that there are certain classes of people who are truly disadvantaged in terms of caste or patriarchy but for others it's just being lazy and reluctant to change. Bitching about people who are successful just gives them a sense of achievement without actually putting in the effort.

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?

Seeing so many founders who doesn’t want to hire from IIT is just increasing and I fully support this. IITs are not the super smart people that they used to be. Now they are mostly test takers and that’s it with no innovation or anything. Using pedigree to get into jobs and raising funds are gone. IIT is not a sign for anything and the badge doesn’t matter anymore. Good luck to my friends who actually deserve it from IIT or not. I know there are actually great people who are in IIT but just don’t make IIT your entire personality.
