A Piece of Advice!

A Piece of Advice Amid Global Layoffs

Dear 3rd/2nd Year Students

A Piece of Advice! If it appeals to you, Please consider it. If not, Please ignore this message. There is a famous quote- "Whatever advice you give, be short". I will try to follow this message.

Today morning one of my friends called. He is into a high bracket salary. Suddenly he is asked to move to a non-engineering role. CouA couple of days back a student called and shared his opinion, "rather him than ing for big package jobs, better to aim for a 4-5 L package (fresher) which is sustainable for companies (manageable during this period) and to the individuals (no cost to the organization hence we are not in layoff radar). we are unable to bear this social pressure! Artificially we are taking more work to show to our Manager. The other side of the issue, is " isManagers are giving more work to us to show to their managers"!!". What an irony?

!looks simple but it is a serious issue. See the Headlines of Economic Times today!

On Sep 23 20,21, I wrote an article- "Don't Overprice Yourself! It is the Endthe of Your Career!!". Many disagreed with this philosophy. In that article, I mentioned, "You know what, currently you are wearing chappals. Now, you need to wear skating shoes! The challenge is finding the rink so that skating shoes move! If it is rough terrain, skating shoes fail!"- https://lnkd.in/gTQfcfrF

Today Nov 21 20,22. Rink became rough. Skating shoes became a hindrance to many. They are not able to wear chappals back, the issue is not with feet but societal eyes!

Now wh,at is the course correction and savior?

1. All 2nd and 3rd Years- Search for an Internship, preferably more than 6-8 months. Ask for work. Don't demand Pay. Learn more, Help more!

2. No Dream Companies!! Aspire for Dream Work! Aspire for Deep Problems as your work title!!

3. Interviewing skill is more critical now! 10,000 hours of degree is decided by 5 Minutes Interview! Practice https://skill2030.com Mock Interview. It is free now for students.

Today Nov 21, 2022. I will write again on Nov 21, 2023! whether this model makes sense or not? 

Happy Interning. No Pay Packages. Build Software Packages!! This is the mantra for nexthe t 1 year. 

Note: I am not complaining neiabout ther corporates (for layoffs) nor individuals (who are aspiring for high packages). Advise is to start small, think big. Don't rush for packages. Rush to solve problems in human centred way, money is the by-product.
