What I Learnt from being in Tech for 10 years
Просмотров 4108 месяцев назад
I was lucky to get a job in tech without a CS degree, and I'm very grateful to have grown in the industry over the last 10 years. I have had some learnings along the way, and this video is what I would tell my younger self before entering the industry to not just survive but also thrive. I hope it helps others in a similar position as me. I also wrote about it here: praveenblogs.substack.com/p/...

Is it better to be an insider or outsider?
Просмотров 3259 месяцев назад
Inspired by Auren's substack post here: auren.substack.com/p/a-nirav-... There is always a dichotomy between insiders and outsiders, particularly in the context of personal identity and success. Outsiders challenge conventional norms to redefine success on their terms, often facing loneliness and misunderstanding in the process. This contrasts with the safety and conformity of insiders.

Take pride in your career or quit and pursue something else
Просмотров 12110 месяцев назад
Lots of bad things are happening in society because people are not doing their jobs well. Other theories too but I believe this is the main one. One of the reasons people are not doing their jobs well is because they don't identify with the mission or values of the company. People can have other motivations like money or work-life balance but if you work for an industry like healthcare or army,...

No matter how many years have passed, this will remain one of my favorite songs of all time. It gives a timeless message on overcoming adversity and realizing that the tragedies of life are just something that happens to everyone, regardless of their position. Mad respect for James Hetfield and Lars Ulrich for creating this masterpiece. Forever grateful for your impact on my life.
One of my fav's!
excellent video!
Thank you 😊
Your videos are unique, good share.
Thank you very much :)
This is so inspiring! Thank you for sharing your story.
Thanks for watching :) I'm glad you found it inspiring :D
For me i need to have a job which will probably be after MBA (college placement) or consultancy or else . As i m just a english graduate with no skills in hand . Yes i was in topper list at NCC and i think it will somehow help me to step up the ladder !
You should have start preparing for a govt job!!
One person's thoughts. Each one has to decide for themselves what is good for them. MBA provides networking opportunities which helps as an entrepreneur. This does not mean you need an MBA or even a Bachelors degree to start a business.
You are not smart enough to be successful! GAME OVER!
Pls do not say mba isnt worth it ... After all , even you pursued it finally from the US .. i completed my mba from a tier 2 way back in 2000 , it just took me 3-4 years to reach the level of my tier 1 mates ... I was earning a package of 30 lacs starting the year 2005 working for an italian private firm handling their india operations ... So pls dont diminish the importance of an mba ... Its just not a piece of paper, the confidence that it gives to you is for a lifetime ... And whether u pursue it or not , hardwork is all that finally matters... So all aspirants wanting to go ahead with their mba, pls do it... You shall definitely see the bonuses 5-7 years down the line, it shapes u into the person you should be , best wishes
Mam, i'm preparing for CAT and i'm also good in studies. But i have seen ,most of the people talk about How Corporate life is so bad. Like is it too stressful. I don't want to work for more than 8hrs per day.
@@SupremeReality Just to give you a sense of reality, most corporate jobs do surpass the 8 hour mark (not on a daily basis, but yeah it can be many times), especially post pandemic. That's just how it is. Only people who work for 8 hrs or less are govt employees or RUclipsrs/Influencers (which is also really difficult to become now-a-days due to increased competition as everyone wants to become "content creators") So yeah this is the reality of the world
@@Avt-b61 Then i think i should drop the idea of CAT. As i can not work for 10 hrs everyday. Maybe i should prepare for govt. Job.
@@SupremeReality not doing mba
@@SupremeReality government for better

Hi Praveen, Glad to see your video. I have a doubt, if we want to switch our field of work isn't MBA the ideal thing since it would help us to get in most of the industries. I am currently working in IT for past 4 years and was thinking about getting an MBA to switch into something of my interest. Even if the courses or certifications you mentioned wouldn't get us an interview, does it?
Hi Krishna, Thanks for your comment. In my case, the MBA didn't help me because, when I graduated, the jobs I applied for required work experience in the relevant field in addition to education and degree. I get it now but felt blind sided then and hence made this video. I think my recommendation for those wanting to still pursue business school given their circumstance is: 1. Get a sense of what specific job/career you want to pivot to ahead of time. I made the mistake of being a generalist until my 2nd year. 2. Along with the education, also build up a portfolio which can double up as experience. Just my 2 cents and I hope this helps :) All the best.
@@TrainWithPraveen Thank you😊
I have been preparing for UPSC since 5-6 years, unfortunately cnt clear it and graduated BCom in 2015, then Bed also 2018-20 I dont have any work Ex Please tell me What is best to start my own coaching as i have knowledge or SHould i Join MBA. Suggest me practical advice
I think you should start your own coaching for the upsc aspirants or a RUclips channel Or maybe you can do both coz you have deeply knowledge of a specific subject and you can teach them very well with your own experience
@@sakshiyadav1110 thnxxx
I already knew all of it. Many ppl have one of ur regerts at least who regert doing it. For me ,I think an MBA was worth it. I met amazing people who helped me a lot and achieve higher heights in career .
Yeah, I completed my MBA in December. I have not seen any real opportunities that did not require starting at a lower level since I had an engineering undergrad degree. The one thing in my favor is that law school is my next upcoming goal, and having the MBA can complement me a tiny bit. I am also fortunate that I did not get into a program that put me in much debt since I was able to both cash-flow it and get a little bit of help from work.
Thanks Man for all the links and useful knowledge.
Man. Thank you so much.
Good thank you
Thanks. Means a lott

Well the institute from where you do MBA matters the most!! If you do MBA from some stupid Chachawala Institute ..obviously your placement will be the same!!
Management career is the worst for foreigners, because you need 100% perfect English. You need highly tuned cultural and social feelers and an extraordinary insight into English, and it's use, tonality, etc. You also need to look the part. Especially Indians are short and don't look like some bronze-age hero. Managers are usually tall. If you think those things don't matter you delude yourself. It can work out, but it'll be harder for you. Technical careers are more objective. Your skills count more, and they are more quantifiable and growth in that field can be planned and managed.
Real business learning comes from business that are around us just talking to the business ppl gets u real understanding
MBA done from IIM is not worth???
Kuch bhi .... It isn't like that , not all students are already top notch technical guys, not all students have flying careers already , not all students are engineers ... For a bcom bsc or ba graduate not interested in the IT sector or typically in digital marketing , MBA still is a relevant way of getting an entry into the corporate world ... I don't understand how n why people generalise... Not all are looking for consultant jobs in bains or bcg or McKinseys of the world , there are students who shall be happy with an entry into the MNCs with a 12-15 lacs package , a very shallow viewpoint i must say .... India currently has a big youth base n many of them are stuck up at positions from where they wish to grow ... MBA is like a key to that padlock !

Hey can u help me , i have completed my cs engineering in the year 2023 and currently a software developer and my interest lies in finance , i want to get into finance fieod and there is no other way i can think of other than doing mba through cat (as i am engineer) so i wanted to know whether there is any other way i can get into finance field ? Any course
Could you reach out at www.linkedin.com/in/praveenkumar88/ ? I will try and help out.

@@35pri2ish thinking to start prepare , can level -1 get a starting job? or do i need to complete all three?
No it won't get you a job. You still need referrals but are you even interested in stock markets. ? What kind of finance do you want to do ? IB, accounting , actuary , audit ,tax. Sit with yourself and ask what do you want to do in finance.
@@35pri2ish mainly into stocks and valuations
Very good insights
Currently i m in 11th grade in commerce stream, but after 12th i want to do mba
the video would have been much better if there was no music in the background, it is very distracting
Thank you for your feedback. I will work on this in the future 🙂
After bcom what do you suggest. MBA or MCOM ?
MBA from iim is a great option
"Wow, what an incredible real video! Your content is both engaging and informative, and it's clear how much effort you put into every detail. I love how you [mention a specific aspect you enjoyed, e.g., 'explain complex topics so clearly' or 'use such creative visuals']. Keep up the amazing work - I can't wait to see what you come up with next! Subscribed and excited for more! 👍"
Thank your Prajval! I'm so glad it was useful and you enjoyed it :) Your comment made my day.
Hey Did you do mba from M7/ivy league/ISB/IIMs full time? If no, then it can explain why some parts of this video are legit faulty. Please answer in yes and no . And no online certification from coursera please even if its provided by FT top 30 institutions.
in one of the video comments sir said he did it from the university of washington what do you have to say about it?
Hey I liked your content please continue, right now I am finishing a masters in data science was thinking should I do a phd in data science (3 yrs in Europe) or do an MBA maybe in a good uni like INSTEAD or do a job here in Italy (salaries are less here).Here In Italy and Europe I see a trend of doing Phd as its a shorter duration and is paid similar to what we should get in a job. 1200 euros -1500 euro PHD , Internship is 800 euro-Job 1600 euros what would you suggest. Should I work here and try to come to USA to look for a job? im also from India an international student .How to make the decision not getting help from professors or peers. I am so confused right now I would even pay for a consultation on this :X
Hi Dheeraj, im happy to help if I can. Im not very familiar with the Europe job market, though. Can you reach out here ? www.linkedin.com/in/praveenkumar88
