I Thought Having Big Brands On My CV Is Enough, Ft. Mihir M, Ex McKinsey, Piramal, COO AltUni

A few years into Kotak, Mihir got an offer from McKinsey. While it was difficult for even students from the best IIMs to get into one of the big 4, Mihir got in through lateral placement!

Mihir shares how his first year in McKinsey made him feel like a failure. But eventually he learnt the ropes of consulting on the job and managed to perform. This helped him get his next job at Piramal, working with the Chairman's office.
At Piramal, Mihir was a part of the founding team that worked on Piramal Real Estate and Housing Finance. He shares how working with the Chairman can add perspective to one's life. Finally, after a few years at Piramal, Mihir is now COO at AltUni, InsideIIM's own learning platform.
From advice on how to make important decisions, to what to focus on when you want to grow your career, this talk with Mihir is full of insights and a must watch.
Here are some highlights:
If you have to do well in McKinsey, you have to start from scratch.
As a consultant, you need to realize that you are a part of the process, a cog in the wheel, and respect your clients and others involved as well.
Irrespective of wherever you are, whether in McKinsey or some other company, what you bring to the table will give you more job satisfaction than your job title.
To stay motivated for any task, you need to be interested and present at the moment; a vision of the future may not really work to motivate you to give your best.
When your work is something you enjoy, which adds value to your and others’ lives and which helps you grow, you are likely to find it more fulfilling and satisfying.
