Hardships are a part of life, A person in his life time , some time or the other needs to overcome these hurdles and achieve success. When I was working as a systems engineer at Infosys, I always thought about moving to the product side of the IT business, since I was on the services side initially, My ambition was to work on development of software products. After an year of wait, finally I got a chance through Infosys only, which I can say was a window to the new horizon, Infosys started its new product based subsidiary company Edgeverve systems Limited, so new company led to new vacancies for product engineers. So this window of opportunity came in the form of internal job posting from Infosys, the selection criteria was quite challenging, which included a hands on programming exam followed by a rigorous personal interview, but I started preparing for it very seriously and yes I got through it clearing all the rounds and my target was achieved.
After that, after two and half years of experience at Edgeverve, my new ambition was to explore the management side of the IT business, I was always interested to know how project budgeting is done, how resources are planned for a particular project, how sales and pre-sales team work, hence I decided to put my efforts for MBA preparations. Apart from my regular office work of 9.5 hours, I used to study for 6-7 hours on a daily basis and yes I landed in one of the finest B-schools of India finally, hence I would like to say that hard work always pays off.
