I remember the Interviewer being annoying in an earlier video (constantly interrupting). Good to see he has improved

[@InsideIIMKonversations]

Thank you for your feedback! We will ensure we keep this in mind going forward!

[@ronakraichandani1592]

Alums like these make me feel proud of my college, unlike those INFLUENCERS that make videos on "Why I left FAANGM".

[@InsideIIMKonversations]

He indeed is an inspiration for everyone 🙌

[@pranitgandhi6832]

18 hour work days is exactly the reason why i didn't appear for CAT and continued with my data engineer profile

[@InsideIIMKonversations]

What do you think about the work-life balance in your current field as you climb the corporate ladder?

[@anu917]

Then also be happy with low pay too

[@SaurabhYadav-cl7qp]

​@@anu917he saved his 35 percent of his life working for others. As a data engineer he may be getting 1 lac approx which is fair enough for today's lifestyle inclusive of all expenses.

[@prime9048]

@@anu917I am earning 66 lpa while working in an American firm in USA . Never appeared for cat . I am not going to waste my potential for low rate of interest college like IIM . Are you happy with you 20 lpa job 🤡🤣

[@TheAnalyst-ib9rr]

​@prime9048 66 lpa in America is not a flex bro. You are not even upper middle class lol. 20lpa kid probably will end up with a better quality of life than you. Aspire for atleast 200lpa if you are in US in late 20s.

[@Teja_Vura]

I just feel amazed every single time when people say so casually that I've cracked CAT and got IIM A, it definitely shoulf be made into a fairy tale story sought of thing...

[@InsideIIMKonversations]

He's just a humble person🙌

[@Teja_Vura]

@@InsideIIMKonversations indeed he is, I'm just expressing my feelings because I'm not that smart, I'm working day and night to clear CAT but mocks are no where near to even 75%ile

[@sandeepsahu8743]

Mention the pay also. People nowadays wants money but don't want to put the efforts. Blaming companies for weekends off, WFH, FUN trips,annual holidays ,free food. If you want to make a picnic spot go into the woods and live there. Don't lecture middle class people to leave jobs and enjoy life. You guys do IIT IIMs for the sake of earning money not to contribute anything.

[@ranachowdhury3808]

I don't like such a corporate slave life of working of 18 hours throughout life.. I am very happy with my govt job

[@InsideIIMKonversations]

These 18 hours work days are for initial few years, still investment banking has terrible work-life balance compared to government jobs.

[@zerol8908]

​@@InsideIIMKonversations Stop romtatisising corporate slavery....18hrs a day is a dangerous for health even for short duration

[@mintumushahary9070]

People pointing out the terrible work life balance in 18hour a day IB job are certainly right in some aspect. But there's another way of looking at it and the whole wall street goes by this logic. If you work 12-18 hours a day for 2.5 years, you stand higher chance outperforming someone who's been on the field for over 5 years working 6-8 hours a day. Certainly majority people wont buy it, but you understand its always the hypercompetitve segment that aims for IB anyways, so give or take, someone out there would work 20-22 hours to outcompete the 12-18 hour guy, the competition is so dirty but the rewards are real.

[@InsideIIMKonversations]

Yes, we agree. Rewards are real.

[@guhhhamqd4019]

Lol 18 hrs of corporate slavery 😂😂😂 I would rather work 15 hrs in my family business and have a happy life

[@InsideIIMKonversations]

Do you think the work-life balance is better in business?

[@guhhhamqd4019]
