How I overcame challenges to achieve my ambitions in life.
There were many challenges which I have faced in my life, but here I want to talk about the most significant challenge that I faced after completing my Bachelor’s degree in Electrical and Electronics Engineering from Bangalore.
Since I was a graduate from electrical background, there was not much of option in the core field in my college and also I was not interested in going to electrical field, so I tried to get into the IT sector, but since I was weak in coding, I was unable to clear the written exams of the IT companies. After graduating from college I had no job and I was unsure whether to get a job or prepare for higher studies and pressure was building up on me by each passing day.
After a deep thought, I made up my decision to first stabilize myself by getting a job and then go for higher studies, and now it was clear to me what I wanted to do with my life. Bangalore is also known as the silicon valley of India and many people think that getting a job in the IT field in Bangalore is a cakewalk but that’s not true, it might be for some people who are from Computer Science background and also good in coding. But for a person coming from different background such as Electrical, it was difficult for me. With some proper guidance from my friends and relatives who were in Bangalore, I joined an institute which helped me in learning coding and also provided me with a placement opportunity, after a long struggle of about eight months and giving countless interviews, I finally managed to get offer letters from a few MNCs and a startup company.
I will never forget these 8 months of my life, I learnt many things about life such as you are not entitled to anything, you have to work very hard to earn what you deserve. During this period I got a few insights about the IT companies and how they work with the freshers, keeping these factors in mind I joined a startup company and worked there for about 14 months where I faced many different challenges but that for another story. This startup company helped me gain experience of how IT Company works, from product development to client engagements and taught me how to push your limits. Now being a part of IIM Raipur, I am looking forward to the opportunities in the form of challenges to overcome them and do even better in life.
