I was overwhelmed with joy when I got my offer letter from Accenture in 2017. This was my first job and that too immediately after completing my engineering. I was so enthusiastic to go and work there. We had a training for 2 months and after the training we were inducted to the project. I was the topper of my training batch and I was of the opinion that everything will be a cake walk for me. My first assignment was to implement SAP to one of the clients. We were a big team and everything was going so smooth. And withinno time 6 months passed and our implementation phase came to an end. After that, I got a new project and I was assigned with a new module in SAP. And my supervisor was so strict about completing the task on time. I was not given any training in this new module. I was deployed directly into that new project. And we did not have any team. I was the only member in that team. Then came my real challenge. It was like a race. I need to keep up to my supervisor’s expectations, complete the given assignments on time and then go to the room and prepare for my MBA entrance examinations. Because of the heavy work load, I thought of quitting the job may a times, but did not do until I got my MBA admission.
This was my daily schedule at that time. I used to wake up at 6 in the morning, prepare for the entrance examinations and go to the office by 10 AM. And at the office I was learning the new module and simultaneously working on that module. I used to leave the office at 9 PM. Then go to my room and study for 1 hr and sleep by 12 AM.
My aim was to get into a good B-School. My challenge was to meet my supervisor’s expectations at the office and prepare for entrance examinations. I followed a simple strategy to overcome my challenges. I was punctual at work and I was learning so fast. So, after a period of time, my work seemed to be easy to me and then I got ample amount of time to prepare for my entrance examinations. In this process, I learnt to be punctual, determined and learnt to do smart work. These things helped me to overcome my challenges and achieve my goal in life.
