Non IIT Guy here. While growing up I never got the hype for IIT exams till I joined my previous company. There was a clear 5-10 year head start compared to folks who came from non IIT colleges. There's literally a job site that hires from IIM/IIT only. As a non IIT guy you're pretty much left with excess hard work to grow.

[@Kathakathan11]

I didn’t know that IIT exist, Never heard any of the friend or schoolmate or cousin clearing it or even attempting it. Well there is other india within India MD majorly they don’t know any option to catapult their life. In digital era that is changing and we will see so much fo demand supply gap, cannot imagine what students will go through in next few years.

[@Kathakathan11]

Obviously I found it out after 10th grade, and many told me it is too late to prepare now, had just 1.5 year with me. No coaching classes in my hometown. Disinterested teachers who didn’t like IIT, they pushed their students to go for pure sciences.

[@336suryasunkaramech5]

@@Kathakathan11 I guess you are quite lucky to have teachers who pushed you towards pure sciences...

[@Kathakathan11]

@@336suryasunkaramech5 that’s doesn’t help a lot, not giving freedom in what to choose. We don’t have lot of scope in pure sciences in this country as well honestly. Thinking about pay scale they get, I better choose IT job. Only few make through all levels and actually work in research, others end up becoming teachers, underpaid and overworked in thankless jobs. The main goal of my teachers was to not let us join any coaching classes. Now that’s nice, but in this world you are out of the competition if you say no to it I first place. I still wish they guided me enough to pursue BSC physics, they didn’t care after the school ended. And I was left clueless of what to do. This happened with all the batches I know.

[@intebuddy]

@@Kathakathan11 Well for sure ,but Engineering is very vague degree for 80% of engineers . Its just a qualification to work in any industry . You for Sure my friend , is doing something which you admire and may be get there in 5-8 years which is not vague . Rest of engineers , that I've met even in age group of 30-40 years old are scared from there skillset , even though they learn latest tech around requirements . So it might be scary for you to think about your life in particular field as absurd but niche skillset are hard to replace because mostly they come from person's ambition and passion .

Managing money is different from accumulating wealth, and the lack of investment education in schools may explain why people struggle to maintain their financial gains. The examples you provided are relevant, and I personally benefited from the market crisis, as I embrace challenging times while others tend to avoid them. Well, at least my advisor does too, jokingly.

[@AvaAdams-ly7vu]

I subscribed for a few trading courses but it didn't help much, been getting suggestions to use a proper financial advisor, how did you go about touching base with your adviser

[@PhilSommer2]

Through closely monitoring the performance of my portfolio, I have witnessed a remarkable growth of $483k in just the past two quarters. This experience has shed light on why experienced traders are able to generate substantial returns even in lesser-known markets. It is safe to say that this bold decision has been one of the most impactful choices I have made recently.

[@LeonWilk2]

wow ,that’s stirring! Do you mind connecting me to your advisor please. I desperately need one to diversified my portfolio

[@PhilSommer2]

As an IITan, I 100% agree with the safety net thing. I also think that it is a double edged sword. Because some of non-IIT friends say that -'bro u have this amazing position, and u r not taking advantage of it...if i was in ur position,I would've this and that'.

While it is true that many successful entrepreneurs have emerged from the prestigious IITs, Non-IITian founders bring a diverse range of experiences, perspectives, and skills to the table, which can be equally valuable in the startup ecosystem. I believe most founders who are IITian they get success. But at the same time I think mostly Non IITians are at the top, so we can’t say who’s better. Yes, there are a lot differences and that’s what makes them different...

It is not about irony it is about a sense of mind. If the life of your family member is in danger during a war you have two choices either to trust a civilian or a soldier. Most people will trust a soldier. It does not gurantee that his/her life would be saved it is just that it comes as a natural thing similarly in case of money investment people shift towards IITians cause they might be more than a normal guy.

[@ujjawalmishra1439]

Firstly, cracking JEE and going to IIT is no big deal. So, if you think that you are in IIT and now rest of the non - IIT students are behind you, then you have my sincere blessings kid. Secondly, it is just an unequal division that is made at the age of 18 or 19, after which even if a normal college guy learns all to much and a IIT guy who knows just the basics, then also the IIT one will be get the advantage, just because of the so called trash IIT tag. Third, I have some so called IIT friends, which are dumb, so dumb that sometimes i wonder what type of education system we live in. Fourth, the society problem, in which the society thinks and believes that... Oh, he/she is from IIT, must be very talented and a good person. Fifth, your hard times and hard work that a non - IIT guy do even after knowing much more than them, is a good thing. It will eventually develop you, your character, your personality, your charisma, which almost every student from IIT lacks. So, don't be afraid of that. Sixth, Even if you start at a package of 3 LPA, trust me, many has, many will and many had reached the much higher level, even if they are not from IIT. It was just possible because of their skill set. Seventh, After 2 - 3 years of job, everything will depend upon you, whether the IIT guys will work for you or vice - versa. So, don't be so hard on yourself if are not from so called IIT. Eight, People are earning, and 90% of them are earning much more than the IIT ones, i have seen them, met them, many were worried during their initial phase, but they did it. Ninth, don't believe in the hiring of big companies, always remember that, they hire just to get the work done. Everyone is same for them, thay just don't want to spend much time hiring from normal colleges and i sometimes even laugh at such decisions, but its their choice let it be. One day, they will hire you also. It is just a matter of 2 - 3 or 4 - 5 years max. tenth, don't get disheartened by the fact that you are not from IIT, but be so good that the companies and other people can't resist you. Become Unbeatable. (I am only criticizing the inequality issue with IIT's and not the students studying there)
