Placements blues

For all of us the time has come to move on from our student life and to enter into the corporate world. There have been some hits like Sreeram and Jayanto cracking the TCS, Richa,Pradeep and Ibby getting into Al Seer Dubai, and Sourabh,Zaid and Shahil getting into Marketing&design elements and Pallavi cracking lavasa and some near misses like me loosing out at L&T after 3 rounds of interview :( . But I am definately hopeful that we 30 are bonded even stronger than ever before and I am pretty sure that by 15th May when we will be graduating we all would have reached the Al dorado which Bhushan talked about earlier . All the best trendetters !!! lets rock it

Are you ready??

Perhaps, this would be my first gyan post for this season, hence request all of you to bear with me…:)
5 months into MBA @ MBS, approx 1800 hours of grilling exercise. I wanted to take some time off from this busy schedule and reflect on the days passed by; trust me, journey has been enriching.
This blog might serve as insight to prospective MBSite, who wish to understand MBS better or rather himself better
Idea of doing an MBA was back of my mind from past 3 years and only this year it got materialized, I consider really fortunate for that.
What took me so long; was it lack of abilities?...
Answer to that introspection was; lack of preparedness
What do I mean when I say lack of preparedness??....anyone to answer..!!!
Let me tell you my perspective, it's just that whether you are prepared to take the responsibility of managing time, money and of course stress. This question haunted me until some days back. Well, now I can say that YES, I am!!
So, now time for all you to answer the same question….ask for yourself, why do you need to an MBA?, is it to accelerate your career prospects or for monetary returns or just that your parents/spouse wants you to have one.
Now onus lies on you to find an honest answer and only YOU can find an answer, hope you find an answer sooner than later…

Good Luck…!!!
