Frustrated and I need some inspiration/advice

Hey Puys,

Hope this helps...

"To build a future you need to burn the past"...

Dude, go for counselling. It really helps. Get in touch with me if you want to discuss anything more.

Well, my story goes back to the year 2002, a grad from IIT CSE. I gave CAT 2002 little realizing its importance. Just gave it casually. Then, I got fooled that it is better to give CAT after 2 years work ex. Got into a company with 2 years bond in 2003. wanted 2 months preparation and i asked for leave, but they didnt provide me. so, i broke the bond and prepared for 2 months and got the calls from iim k,l. but, cudn't convert them.

Then, i worked for the next 1.5 years for CAT, always scoring more than 95%ile. This year CAT 2005 was the twister, since the focus changed from speed to accuracy. and i got the twist of my life with 33%ile in DI.

Then, all my plans got blank and i had to take up a job in May 2006. Then, again i worked for CAT again. This time again, i didn't secure into IIMs. In the meantime, i screwed up my technical skills and after 1 year of hard work, i was promised of team leader position in product based company. But, i was cheated due to some politics and in 2008, i had to leave my job for better prospects.

Then, came recession, lost my job and got into some contract job that didnt give boost to my technical skills. So, i planned to take once again for 2009 and worked day in and day out.

The competition has gone way beyond my expections and i dont know what my future lies now.

I didn't develop my technical skills, screwed up CAT and i am nowhere since the contract job has also ended. Now, after so many years, you can imagine where i am now. All my friends and my juniors are well settled and in good positions. I ditched plans to go abroad for further studies in 2003( bcoz i was depressed that my childhood sweetheart got married and i lost the meaning of life. and from then onwards as well, i didnt go abroad bcoz i had this sicko ideals of love for motherland which i regret now that i shud have gone abroad)

A grad from iit cse, with no strong technical skills, screwed up life. and suicide seems the only way for me. My life is completely messed up. I have plans to buy potassium cyanide for easy death from a well trusted resource. You can see how i am faring now.

My life is completely ruined.


Dude, go for counselling, it can help you tons.

Hi Puys.I have written everything this season.IIFT,CAT,JMET,SNAP,XAT,FMS.I thought i did well in SNAP but got only 88.5.I thought i would get a call from SIIB and SIBM-B.But it did'nt happen.This Feb,I will be completing 36 months in Accenture.I am really frustrated and worried abt my future.Im writing NMAT,MAHCET and MICA.I am not able to give my best to NMAT and other future exam preparations.Dreams of an MBA are slowly withering away.Someone plz tell me what to do.

Hey dude, just relax and take some time out and introspect. mba is not the end of life. There shall be many other options which you can pursue and feel content. remember journey is more imp than destination and participating is more imp than winning.

Guys, 40 Crore Indians are living below poverty line. Sometimes they even don't get to eat twice a day. Do you consider yourselves to be as sad, unlucky, ruined as them...So cut the crap of suicide...I know every body goes through difficult times..but thats it...they are difficult times...not more than that... Open your Eyes and see outside...how ppl are living in slums..etc....You are in much better condition.....:)

Visit this blog plz
this may change ur attitude towards life

Please Do not Complain

dont suicide pls...

hey dude, dont suicide! u from iit u know how to handle pressure.. remember the iit days ..midsems and end sems and placement tension etc etc etc .. so be quiet .. take right decisions .. and you may end up well ... everything is fine with you .. just sometimes expections dont match reality and it happens with everyone .. you need to find other options so that you are at peace .. dont think of others and compare as your life is unique .. 😃

i m a graduate an engg (EECE-2009 passout),i am a person who believes in hard work...coz it always pays but sometimes dunno what whether its destiny or something else that my belief on hard work dwindles.i got 91 % in 12th which i never expected on the other side was sure of a gud rank in AIEEE which didn come true 😞 then i didn expect anything in clg life ..dunno how i got top position in 1st yr and then scholarships through all the 4yrs (ofcourse i worked hard but didn do it to top in class)..may be it is like when i do it with intention it never comes true and when i do it without expectation it works...:P
now got placed in SATYAM(doob gai..no joining),and then in iflex solutions now called as oracle financial solutions ...was very happy when i got placed...but still they havent provided joining...where as all other classmates got into infy ...nd i cudnt clear apti (a very big shock:-()
cat 08 :80 %ile 😞 :(...got nervous and screwed VA nd DI 😞 :(
in QA97 %ile ...dunno what happened in exam
XAT 08:93%ile got call from GIM cudnt convert:-(:-(
cat 09:41-42 attempts ...pata nai kya banega iska
XAT 09:80 %ile va me 20%ile:banghead::banghead::banghead: last yr VA me 91%ile in XAT .....kya conclude karu.....is my VA that bad...??.:banghead::banghead:
JMET09:58.5:banghead::banghead:
it feels real bad....m sitting at home ...where as other ppl with avg marks got into infy and are about to get into projects......
CAT is the only hope left....its like yyyy did it happen with me....but that really doesnt mean i should suicide ....but still it feels like when i deserve something and am working hard for it then yyy m i not being provided with what i truely desire...where as there are many people who get things without even working hard....:nono:


hey according to me you r made for a long run.. u heard that (lambi race ka ghoda)

i know it feels really dejected and sad when nothing good comes on our way despite of so much of preparation n all.. but what can we do for this?? just we can give more of us into it.. and be sure u will be rewarded with more than what u expected.. Cheers.. :cheers:
me too have same story..... i also got placed at SATYAM.... it was the first company.... got thru it.... cudn't sit in other company as we were not entitled for "multiple placements".... was so happy after gettin satyam.... i cant forget those days... then misdeeds of ramalinga raju came into light.... was shattered to soul.... as i had planned to go for MBA after gettin 2 years experience at satyam.... after consultation with parents decided to go for mba... and joined a coaching institute.. tried hard.... applied for CAT... buked 1st DEC slot... here also i was ditched by "lady luck"... the test got rescheduled due to server problem.... test was rescheduled on 3rd dec... got paadhu paper.. so not sure about result of CAT... wrote jmet got 55 sumthin.....

took SNAP... got 100.00 marks... filled scmhrd siib and sibm banglore... was hoping to get calls from all the 3.... but thanks to plumenting cutoffs.... managed call from sibm b only..... took XAT... got 84.xx sumthing(i myself is to be blamed such a dismal score)....

anyways... came to banglore and started job hunting as was frustated with the rising cutoffs.... went to coimbatore for "accenture off campus drive".... cleared apti,gd,hr.... but cud not get through technical, as had lost touch with technical portion....

many of my friends got their joinings from the companies in which they were placed....

meanwhile satyam started giving selected calls... but the whole process is not at all transparent.... so no hopes whatsoever from satyam....

so.... after all these events of last 1 year... i sumtimes feel i am worthless, hopeless.... feel like a looser..... have lost all confidence.... have lost self-belief.... future appears dark....

but still what can be done...


Dont lose hope dude.. read about Chris Gardner or watch Pursuit of Happyness.. u will feel good and motivated.. Stay Happy..
Hi
Life is indeed more unpredictable than our Met department.Have you ever thought of a life which is full of happiness and where there is everything smooth.I love eating chocolates but what if i had to only eat chocolates all the day and no rice and roti? I would start hating chocolates...right!!
Life is also like a roller coaster my friend,this is the beauty of it.Enjoy the happiest moments of life and when you are in pain remember those happy days and start enjoying the pain and i bet life will get more and more beautiful.
Now talking abt ur current situation.I think u are still working so don't plan to leave the job for MBA.Moreover self introspect yourself that why you really want to do MBA? Any specific plans and find that reason.Try to follow your passion whatever it may be,atleast you will be satisfied that you gave a try.Don't get under peer pressure.Faliures are part of life and the way to success gets through faliures.Learn from them.Keep faith on yourself and start loving yourself and your passion more and more and everyday.If not this year,you can do it next year.Remember life gives chances to everyone but its on us if we choose to fight or we choose to giveup.
When you will figure out the reason that why you want to do MBA and for that matter any other profession than things will become much easy.Its you who has to choose between satisfaction vs materialism.Love your passion and start work for it from now.Things get over when you giveup and don't fight.My best wishes are with you and hope that you will achieve your aim.I am giving a link to my blog where i write and hope that it will motivate you.

Hey dude ... just relax ..this is the bad phase .. so be cool. i think you have a brilliant academic record and you will make it in the next 4-5 months .. companies are hiring now so dont worry.. if no cat then keep other options ready .. and dont think of others as everyone has a unique life .. and work accordingly ..

hey dear ..suicide isnt the way out......and you are not alone....
look the graduation from IIT says a lot for you ..a hardworking person with good potential and man u have worked with people so u know how to handle the situations ...nd CAT result is still to come ...nd it will be gud for you..ppl are saying that you shouldnt look at others ..but i know dear how it feels when ppl who were with you achieve a lot nd you dont specifically when you deserve it..neways thing is seeing others isnt going to help,coz every one has his own destination ..so wait for your turn...surely your dreams will come true ....living life is not just enjoying happiness it is to go through every phase of life with happiness ....atleast we can try to be by being with our parents and helping them in bad phases of our lives.....nd believe me they will always make you smile and support you

They say "Winning is not everything...Its the only thing..."
Anyways I do agree that there r many other options to pursue but whatever u go after give it ur best shot... U shouldnt regret saying I could have done better...

Well guys, please find the pdf attahced of Rajat_nda

hope you will feel better

Dear puys , please dont contemplate on things like suicide yaar . It is very easy to make a wrong decision in haste . We all have our own problems in life .Even I have thought about it many a times , believe me, but whenever you get a thought like that , just think about your family , your friends . By taking such a drastic action you'll not only ruin 1 promising life but a lot of them. Life isn't about MBA entrances . Theres a lot more to it. Even I haven't had a single thing right since graduation in my career. Heres a roadmap !

* after graduating from NIT in computer science , I joined a reputed IT giant , got posted in Pune , family , friends and life so as to say was in Delhi , but I kept slogging it out in Pune for the sake of career.

* worked my ass off on the project , and got nominated for best developer award in my development unit. as weird as it may sound , the award was rigged , and as stupid as it may sound everyone recognized that I had deserved it , but it went to lickers , if you know what i mean. This totally killed my motivation to work. Those lickers are still enjoying free lunch and coffee with the least botheration for coding. They are on a paid vacation.

* got an onsite opportunity to go and work in japan for an year , only for my ticket to be canceled 2 days before departure , and some regionalism politics showing its true colors . another guy was sent in my place , who had no knowledge of the product whatsoever and he was just 2 weeks old into the project in which I had been working for over an year.

* my dad's health wasn't good and it required me to be with my family in Jan' 09 , but i wasn't granted a leave. I still went anyways , family is the top priority for me. I was put in free pool, and asked to leave the company within 2 months. (suddenly within a matter of 1 week my rating fell from 4/5 to 1/5)

* joined some small ass firm in pune as a desperate measure for finding employment immediately , which turned out to be the biggest mistake of my life. biggest bunch of losers under one roof that i've come across in my life so far. got depressed of being there. quit in 6 months.

* took GMAT in december , got ISB R2 ding . No job as of now , and no plan B. Last week my girlfriend for 3 years broke up with me just 2 days before the coveted V day and I had already planned a grand dinner thing for her , even booked a restaurant. Cried myself a river .

* No job offers in hand . No idea what to do in the immediate future . Only Hope that I will not give up , I will fight back .

Even after this , im still fighting buddy . You puys are some of the best brains in the country . The future is bright

My 2 cents after reading the word "Suicide" on EVERY page of this thread:


  1. Please ALWAYS remember this "Girte hain sheh-sawar hi maidan-e-jung mein Woh tifl kya gire jo ghutnon ke bal chala karte hain."

  1. Life is a blessing please celebrate it. This does not mean I have not seen my share of ups and downs. Trust me I have not had the best of life to remember by :
  2. Yes it hurts to let go of a dream be it a b school, a love affair, a relationship, friends, Work place, colleagues, relatives....Oh trust me this is never ending list 😐 But in the end we all HAVE to look ahead and NOT spoil what we have in hand. Nahi mila top b school mein admission...exam wapas de sakte ho toh do..nahi de sakte make the best of the converts u have. You cannot change your past what you can do is make a better future.
  3. When in self doubt think of good times you have had...It is OKAY to day dream. At least better than the SELFISH thought of taking ones life away from oneself. :|
  4. Agar tab bhi baat naa bane toh ask a friend to slap you so hard ke nani yaad aa jaaye
  5. And HOW old are you : 22-25-30-35 toh KYA HUA 😐 : : Abhi bhi kuch nahi bigda....fir mehnat karo...datte raho... kuch toh accha hoga naa tmhare saath bhi :banghead:

Bas aaj ke liye itna hi...Vividh bharati ka yeh prograam aapko kaisa laga humein "falana" pate pe zaroor likhiyega.
Khuda hafiz.
Khush rahiye
😃
