Ma’am is there any way on how can I approach you? I’m in a dilemma idk how to manage college along with online CAT classes since DU opened now? Please please please help me.. I would be highly obliged. Please help me.. Can you help me on LinkedIn?

[@ajanshul02]

Thank you didi it means alot 🖤🖤🖤

[@Shweta-Arora]

@Dristi - I've paused the 1:1 mentorship for now due to my health but will be resuming it soon. I had made a video on your query and have even shared about it in the community post 3-4 days ago. Please look for "CAT Preparation with College" and you'll be able to find that video.

[@dristi1635]

@@Shweta-Arora I’ve seen that video Ma’am but the thing I started in CAT coaching from T.I.M.E from 30th jan and was managing everything well but in between DU started everything got messed up.. So I wanted to start a fresh.. will I be able to manage if I restart?

Congrats Shweta for listening to your heart in persuing what is purposeful to you as well as numerous aspirants like us! 😀

[@lakshayagarwal1007]

This was a real eye opener, that's called a right way of brand integration with value addition. Looking forward to more such podcasts- please bring someone from brand management or marketing with similar questions. If possible you can also invite some or the other subscriber as he/she will be able to ask the questions particularly what an aspirant feels to ask(just a suggestion if the brand allows you to do so ) baaki thanks again shweta

That's a good idea, Lakshay. Can surely try integrating it :) Thank you!

[@kanishkverma7191]

Hi shweta ma'am, Firstly you have been really amazing with your work, your content really helps me a lot and brings more clarity. Actually I'm from a tier 3 city and we don't have any "go to" person to ask our queries. So,I'll genuinely wish if you could organise some paid webiners where you could answer our queries. Also, I'm writing my query below,in case if you could answer them in any of your next coming videos. 1) are there any specific skills/software that one can learn that helps in a person's career 2)are there any good work opportunities to start with our career,if one wants to get started after their graduation.

[@Shweta-Arora]

Thanks a lot, Kanishk. Have taken a note of your inputs :) I'm making a video on how to get better placements - skills/courses. I can try looking into how you can ensure a good placement post graduation. Thanks for the suggestions :)

Thanks for all the efforts you are putting in for us Shweta di. I have a question, can we choose to switch to consulting after working a couple of years in marketing and find the work not as we thought it would be? In that regard, I would be really grateful, if you could make videos like this one on each management field to gain clarity as to what we are getting into after 2 years of MBA from a good B-school.

And if a person is living in US for a long long time, say Pichai or Nadella, it's justifiable for them because they are living there for 15+ years now, they can't get back to Indian accent now.

[@rohanswer5091]

Genuine question with absolutely no disrespect, do girls get into management consulting, specifically MBB much more easily than guys (from IIM ABC of course)? I have seen on LinkedIn girls with a profile of fresher, undergrad in psychology from XYZ college from IIM ABC of course (I'm referring to everyone from IIM ABC) all landing up in Bain (Still not so much for McKinsey). But i have not seen a single "weak" profile of a boy to end up at MBB. As a guy you have to have something much much more than just academics and "being a girl" (hope you understand what i mean)
