Am so dead… November 13, 2005
Posted by Simba in : Uncategorized , 13 commentsThis is killing.. it is brutal.. its beyond any human capability! Ahh.. Term 2 has sapped the energy of almost everybody.. We not only have to deal with Real Hard subjects but also have so much work to do on the career front! Mama, I wanna be back home!
Wonder where the peaceful days have gone.. these days, no one has the time to stand & say ‘Hi’.. everybody’s rushing… somewhere.. anywhere! The IB guys have started getting invitations for personal parties & stuff like that… not everyone is obv getting the invites.. so others who are left out are totally freaking out! Isnt it too early for the summers.. well, not really… the official on campus interviews start off on Jan 9 or so.. & we need to be ready with a lot of stuff by then! The consulting phase has just begun.. with the Biggies McKinsey, BCG etc are here on campus to show what they got to offer! I was pretty much looking at consulting .. but am kinda have to shift gears as there are quite a few problems on that front!
As an international, of many other problems we face, one major issue will be the career front. Consulting Biggies look into your GMAT & GPA. That GMAT will never get off my back, I tell ya! And the General Management dudes want work permit to offer something.. so it really becomes a challenge for someone like me.. I am kinda exploring other opportunities, hopefully something works out! Obviously, you dont come this far to take up some job, right!? And my grades this Term suck big time. I sooooo wish we had more time to figure out a lot of things a B-School has to offer! Also, off-campus career search is something that I have to necessarily start off as an international! You really need to get out & start meeting people! Phew, I am soooo dead…
