How I overcame challenges to achieve my ambitions in life (one of the...).
There was this time during my 3rd year at Accenture, when I realized that I wanted more from this work. I wanted to learn more about the overall experience of handling a project, rather than just following the orders and developing the code that I was asked to. I was good at that, but never really felt a connection with the work. So, I planned to switch, and not just switch, but to do an MBA. I wanted to shift from the developing domain to administrative domain. I wanted to learn more about the daily activities, such as marketing, market, finance, supply chain etc.
Right when I thought I was going to put up my papers in 2 months, a big change project came. I was part of a client’s project where we were required to completely switch the platform from an obsolete one to modern day one. This was not a welcoming news, as I had to work on this for 1 year straight to complete the task. The very next month, my bike broke and I had to start commuting by bus in Delhi’s traffic. Everything was going bad, as I had to work on my project, commute in bus even after having motion sickness, and also prepare for my CAT exam.
I never gave up and planned my schedule for 4 months and worked accordingly. Even after giving my CAT exam, I had to run to my office to finish a deployment. I learned during this phase, that planning activities and sticking to them can help finish a task smoothly.
