Writing "I m placed" gives a kinda thrill,though tis isnt my 1st job but i experience the same feeling. U earn your own money , handle responsiblities, meet new people, take up new challenges and keep yourself occupied comes as a package with the job.A busy mind is any day better than idle one.
My Professional career started with Polaris and now it is with ICICI. I am not sure whether i would be joining or not but then ya " I m placed with ICICI". Though it may not seem a big deal becoz eventually everyone gets a job but then when one gets --yes that feeling is entirely different
Good aspects of being selected for ICICI
1.Its the second largest bank :)
2.They may place people in their hometown so looking forward to work at Bangalore.:)
3.No more pondering about being jobless.:)(this would apply to any organisation i would have been selected but nevertheless it is a reason)
4.Recognised Brand name with profile of Relationship Manager(please re-read the word Manager :P)
5.Easy entry into IT sector as a Subject Matter Expert or Business Analyst :)
6.Good for a start-up..:)
Bad Aspects of being selected for ICICI
1.Not the profile i wanted to work for...:(( U kno which profile i m interested in now..:D)
2.Never wanted to associate myself with BANKS..:(
Don kno where to put
8 of my college mates are now my collegues..:O
Some advantages and disadvantages of being placed
Advantages:
-->No more looking forward for companies visiting colleges.
-->No more thinking of visiting the campus for the wrong reasons
-->No more answering Q's like 1. Did the placements start ?? when ?? still not placed?
Disadvantages:
--> Everybody asking for a TREAT ...!!
--> Many new oppurtunities lost(may be with a higher package:P)
--> Covering up being upset by saying-- Oh! it is just this placements(No matter for what you are upset , now u are done u have to find new reasons! :D)
--> Now parents start with the typical old questions like --Ok! u are now kinda settled with ur career path , when do u wanna get --- ( u kno what i m referring !!--ufff the Big M of the Indian families(MARRIAGE!!!)
--> A big BYE BYE to being lazyy!!!
--> No more of beautiful student life which i spent.:(
So mixed feelings but then all in all a great feeling!!!!
