The sad thing is that a few months ago I was clear in my ambition- to secure a job in a finance/consulting company and/or secure a seat in one of the IIMs. The placement process left some scars - I gave dozens of tests and got rejected from the final round four times: First Delloite followed by Global Analytics, AbsolutData and Infosys- all high paying jobs. The second blow came in the form of the CAT scores - no calls. Then a French school came seeking admissions - again rejected due to lack of exposure in IC engines. The XAT scores followed - couldn't clear one of the sectional cutoffs. The winter has left me a bit sober. Then maybe I am not meant for a high paying job if nobody wants to hire me.There's got to be something that needs to get sorted within. Hopefully, I could come up with a smaller set of choices.
