Challenges I Faced And Overcame - Manusha Nandikonda, TAPMI
As per Indian stereotype, after intermediate examinations, a student is expected to join Engineering, MBBS or Charted accountancy program. I was one among those students who had the glossy anticipation of better pay and chose the decision of joining charted accountancy course. However, within few months I realized that CA study was not to my interest and if I continued my study I will be venturing into a field that I might not be satisfied with. Hence, I decided to change my career path and started preparing for CAT to get admission in a well-known college in India. I was not sure whether my change in career will affect my life in a good or bad way, but at that moment I took a decision and decided to go for an MBA. After a yearlong preparation and wait, I finally got into a reputed B school in India. I was very sure to work hard and get the best out of this program and my efforts didn’t take time to reflect as I got an internship opportunity in Google. This was one of the dream companies for majority of the students in the college and I was the only person selected for the internship in this company. This was one of the major breakthroughs I achieved in recent years, which boosted my confidence level to a new extent. I now reflect and appreciate my decision to leave CA and go for an MBA and am very sure that my future will be full of success and adventures.
