Considering that Sharan's KZbin/ Instagram journey started only 2 years ago in 2020, his exponential growth and business success make for interesting conversation. But did you know that Sharan once struggled with cracking the IITs, or that he worked in consulting with KPMG and PwC?
As an elite student, Sharan believed he had every chance at making it big career wise. But pre boards in 11-12 class, Sharan found himself competing with equally stellar students and so at a disadvantage.
Further still, he realised that with the fierce competition a part of IIT, getting into IITs for engineering would also be a challenge. He finally went to RV College in Bengaluru. But reality knocked again and Sharan realised that Mechanical Engineering did not equip him with a career path he could stick to.
With a focus on growth, Sharan started proactively looking at career options on our own InsideIIM and found that he liked investment banking and consulting as future job roles. Despite not belonging to an IIT, Sharan managed to land an Analyst role at KPMG due to his focus and dedication.
He gives some reality bytes about consulting as a career and tells us how consultants are not born but made. Essentially, without any big educational brands on his CV, Sharan had to persevere and request to be a part of his first big consulting project. He shares how working with KPMG, he travelled, learned the ropes and worked on various projects.
Finally, Sharan tells us how social media happened and what motivated him to start Finance With Sharan.
Some highlights from this video:
→ At every stage of your career or your academic life, you are exposed to new perspectives of life.
→ Extra-curricular activities can provide a new direction to your career goals.
→ Life Hacks - If you do not have certain keywords in your CV, HR software used by many organizations may reject your CV.
→ Reach out to HR managers and recruitment professionals on LinkedIn if you want a job with their company.
→ As an engineer applying to the big consulting firms, if you do not belong to IIT Madras, Delhi or Bombay, your CV is probably going to be rejected.

[@pallavshrivastava6769]

inside iim brings these overachievers who boast how they became successful. this is the first time they brought someone with whom majority can relate. this also shows how toxic and discriminatory is the culture of these big firms. Everytime, they will criticise the indian education system and exams but their whole recruitment policy is around who scores how much marks. Its a shame that same person doing the same work gets less salary bcoz he is not from a " prestigious college". government should bring in a legislative to ban these discriminatory practices. this also shows how these partners and directors are shallow people who just scored some marks and went to "fancy colleges'

i can see so much of misguidance for this guy in having a proper mindset in his childhood. one time he says hes smart other time he says hes dumb but why do we make kids run behind all these. is this really be called development. it creates unstable minds. ccompetition must not exist. people wanna become doctors to earn better than others and damn it dosent works like that. you cant buy compassion and care with just money. moreover no education should be given a badging that if you study this then you will be rich in your life. its all wrong. indians are very fast in taking wrong paths. we spoiled our tradition running behind fake influencers from westren world and now our own guys turned into influencers who publicise nonsense these days killing more and more minds. its awful day by day.
