Exposed!! The Shocking Truth About Life After IIMs 🤯| Is An MBA Really Worth It? 🤔
Hey Dede i have completed my sylabus and have already given aprox 20 mocks but my score have been stuck in the range of 35-45 im unable to move ahead if one section goes well then any one of the other two goes very bad struggling very badly in varc section what should i do how can i reduce the number of blunders im doing in the mocks
bhai kahi se quant ki preparation ke liye pichle kuch saalon ke questions mil jayenge kya?
HI, Prachi mam how many mock test one should give to score good in exam ? And where did i get the good mocks ?
Bhai it depends on you k concept tumhare kitne clear hai, then accordingly go to mocks. Generally 75 day left hai toh target lo k week mein 5 mocks dene 4, PYQ bhi revise kro sath mein. Mein generally IMS or Iquanta k mocks use krta hu.
This job is not meant first women, men can ignore home women are expected different
I know there are jobs out there which are rewarding in terms of work life balance. But I'm already working 12 hours at a low paying job, i might as well go through mba and get paid 16x over for the same time period.
Hey di, can you please tell me how to find out which topics have the most questions in the CAT?
Heyy, have shared a snapshot of number of questions from each chapter in Quant - you can refer to that. For VARC and DILR, you can focus on the type of questions asked - like VA me they mostly parajumbles, odd one out and parasummary
Maam in ur batch at IIM Calcutta was there any doctor ? is it easy for doctors to enter IIM A/B/C?
Heyy, yes there was. But I think it's easier to get into A/B depending on your scores because you get additional points for academic diversity in A/B :))
@@mbawithprachi thanks
I don't see any problem here. Great work requires great sacrifices. It is not for everyone. I am not a management consultant, I am a programmer. But I always work in my flights when travelling alone because I don't see the point of just wasting this time.
Fir apne kaha join kia oh bta do?
Kudos to people like you who stand up against corporate slave mentality where you are expected to perform like a robot perfectly everytime
Hey Di I want to know if I won't get iim abc then baby iims and new iims are worth joining or one should go for XLRI, MDI, IITs
Of course XL/MDI/FMS/JBIMS/NMIMS/SIBM/IIT D and IIT B better than new and baby IIMs. New iims and baby iims name mai he iims hai baki sab bekar he hai..
Helloo, preference should be XLRI/FMS/MDI over new or baby IIMs since they are well established colleges with great reputation
Ma'am what is ur current salary? Ek estimation bata dijiye...motivation mil jayegi!
Hey dear, is it possible to reach 95-98 percentile if i dedicate 4-6 hours from now, having basics very strong
Heyy, if your basics are strong and you are consistent moving forward and following a proper plan - you'll be able to score very well in CAT.
@@mbawithprachidone👍
Better to go for govt job. Jo haal hai private employees ki bahut muskil hai survive karna. Daily fight, tension, Competition, Long working hours ki bad bhi koi respect nehi hai society mai and zero job security.
Society shouldn't decide ur happiness.. She is IIT IIM graduate, she would be having good designation Ups and downs common in life and in everyone's life
Maine kab kaha acchi designation pe madam kam nehi kar rahe hai..maine just ek opinion diya..A lot of iim Calcutta graduate are also working as Civil servants,RBI,SEBI IFSCA jobs. They are also talented people. @@MasterDreamer-n9z
Apne apne pros and cons hai - tabhi I say apni priority set honi chahiye and ussi ke according decision lena chahiye. Phir chahe paisa ho ya free time - it's okay! Society ka kya hai - aaj bolenge, kal bhool jaayenge 😔

Work life balance karma apne haat mey hota hai.. You might be doing lot of hardwork instead of smart work.. & also it looks that others might be dominating, putting more pressure on you. Inside story can be different. .. knowing unknowingly you seems to be suffered from office politics, mind psychology game.
Honestly, Bain is one of the best firms to be in for Management Consulting but consulting in itself is challenging because it's a client facing job + they are paying you so much to make sure that you meet the stringent deadlines. Sort of comes with the job - some enjoy it, some don't 🙈
@@mbawithprachi Thanks for feedback, experience sharing.
Marketing is surely much more pressure job..
Is it that the pressure in general is high or the work hours are also long? I've often heard it's an intense job but provides a good work life balance.
It's Target oriented work.. Mental pressure, stress for lower level, middle level.. even upper level people are high.. Even in sleeps, dreams that only keeps thinking occuring.. there is no full stop.. 24 *7 work & work target pressure. Psychology pressure is always high. Poor training, poor communication, poor stres management.. makes things even worse.
Makes sense - achieving the set targets can be very pressurizing.
Hey Prachi, can you please evaluate my profile so I have a clearer picture. General Engineering female 10th - 79% 12th - 81.16% Undergrad - 8.1 CGPA Currently in my final year of engineering. Got a placement offer from Oracle financial software services, the joining will be in July 2025. Planning to give CAT 2025 What are the chances for IIM calls specially BLACKI.
Heyy, you have a decent profile apart from your 10th scores but if you score well in CAT - you will be able to receive almost all the calls. Work-ex would also help! :))
Good insights
Thank you :))
Bain me base salary kafi kam hoti hai as compared to total CTC
Haan true! Even McKinsey had revised its pay last year 😬
Di American express kitna ctc deti hai aur uska in-hand kitne aate hai approximately?
Sorry, that's confidential right now! But comparable pay rehta hai and uska 60% in-hand 🙈
It in not Life of only consultant it is the Life of every people who have work in corporate
Kudos to you for speaking truth. Many who work in MBB don't actually tell you this, either because they feel that now they are working in MBB so complaining about it will sound stupid since initially they were dying to join one. Or they just want to tell people what amazing life they are living and make people jealous about that. I personally think you should join a job (if you want to do a job only) where there would be balance of both money and work life balance. Only then you will be truly happy in life. Just money but no time to enjoy it will only make you dipressed and nothing else.
I feel it's all about your priorities but one should never blindly follow others - they won't be able to be happy! :(
In which domain you have switched?
I switched to a strategy role at American Express :)
Joka 🤎
No place like it ♥️♥️
@@mbawithprachi I miss Monty 😂
Everything depends on job role , reporting manager, work culture, people around you. If a toxic guy or toxic boss integrates into your team its game over.
So true!!! Any job can become toxic if the people around you are toxic 🥺
This is the true reality. Very good and valid picture you have shown. If you dont enjoy what youre doing then its no point of doing that job. This is true reality of glamourous corporte job. I have deeply suffered from it. It hit me so hard that still now it i am recuperating from it.
I hope you are doing better now :)) It takes a lot of courage to give up something like this.
Underperforming😂

Didi I have solve a mock test in which my varc score was 16 and 85.6 percentile, dilr my score was minus 8 which is 5.19 percentile and quant score was 4 which was 61.32 percentile plz tell me how much score and percentile I have scored?
Hey, didn't get your question. Percentile might vary depending on the difficulty level of the exam. Can't simply add them 🥺
Didi basically she wants to know how much overall score she scored ?
Yes didi i want to know about my over all score in this mock.
to summarize everything when company pays 50 lakhs per annum fancy packages for freshers itself, it means they are extracting 5-10 people's work from you. some will survive for a while, some cannot 🙃
i got 91 percentile cat 2023 and left IIM nagpur convert . 9/8/7/7 work ex- 15 months i worried about spending money on MBA so targeting only colleges like IIT, TISS, DU colleges ..Actually I need clarity . Can we talk??
Heyy, I would personally recommend prioritsing IIMs, FMS over IITs for MBA if you don't have too much financial pressure especially if you are aiming for high end jobs and starting something of your own. IIMs give you a good platform to start. And loans are easy to apply for, and pay off eventually. So think about what is your end goal and decide wisely 😊
@@mbawithprachi goal is starting something of my own ..
Then I feel having an IIM tag might help you raise funds faster or prove your credentials early on
@@mbawithprachi can i have a 10 min short online meet?
Many of my friends wish to join McKinney, BCG, Bain because they offer free lunch ( quality one ). They are not excited for anything else.
Haha, chotti chotti khushiyaan :)))
Hi
Helloo
Hi, di kese ho ap. Di ek channel hai full disclosure karke she had made video and title naming Indian MBA is dying, bhot zyada demotivating video lagi, please ek baar ap dekh ke batao na apka opinion kya hai uspe, kitna sach hai isme.
Hellooo, bilkul badiya. Aap kaise ho!? Kaisi chal rahi padhai? Ohh, me dekhti video - but itna sab tension mat lo. Placements honge bhi toh ab 2027 me after MBA, sab set ho jaayega :))
Then what are you doing now ??
I'm at American Express now :)
But how can we switch to some other career if we didn't like the one which we are doing ??
Why not? Sometimes you'll have to start from scratch if it's a drastic switch, but in general - it's not that difficult
I can totally relate
Thank you you saved me from taking the consulting as my career. 😊
Glad I could help you make an informed decision ♥️

Hello Di, Please give answer to my question!! During CAT form filling, i unloaded my best 5 subjects marks percentage of 12 standard and paid fees too but now got to know that CAT takes all 6 sub's marks percentage. So if i don't refill the form and let it be as it is...then will i have to face any problem in future??? Please do replyyy Di....please!!!
Hey, you can contact the Helpdesk number to ask if you will be able to change the marks later on during the correction window and drop a mail as well. If you don't receive a response in time, my suggestion would be to fill out the application again using a new email id and phone number. Otherwise it would be too big of a risk.
@@mbawithprachiThank you so much!!!❤
I can relate my last Job role with yours. There was no Personal life, family events and even your health. I got out from it. Most of the Corporate culture are same.
How's your job now?

Unn colleges me focus karo jahan 12th ka weightage kam ho ya in general acads ka hi weightage kam hai - but MBA exam pe full focus rakhna so that usme scores acche aaye! Hojaayega acchi college me agar exam me acche scores aa jaate hai toh, don't worry a lot :))
Bain & Company was established in 1973.
Hello dii, My acads in x/xii/engineering is - 95%/84%/9.5 CGPA. but after college, I got a software job which I left after 10 months and have been preparing for government exams since last 2 years but frustrated now. Will any IIM take me in with a gap of 3 years after graduation ( as 10 months job will also come to zero in experience)? Please reply 🙏 😢?
Heyy, you have a very good profile so just focus on CAT and get good scores. Gap years do not matter during initial shortlisting and as long as you can justify them during the interviews, it's all good. Really!! So don't worry too much about it.

Acads - 8/5/8, messed up 12th due to some personal reasons! Category - General Law student male Can you please let me know what percentile is required for me to get into IIM BLACKI, S, M, FMS MDI, SPJIMR, IIFT? Honest anaswer ma'am please for realistic expectations?
Hey, different colleges have different criteria so there is a set percentile which would ensure all the calls. However, you should aim for 99.6-7+%ile so that you CAT score can balance out your 12th grades. You'll also get additional points for academic diversity - that should help. :)
Hello mam Plz make a video on regular degree vs open degree/online defre. Their value on market
Heyy, would add it to my list :))
Can we do Management Consulting for a few years, work hard and earn good, and the get down to a project manager role?
Ofcourse you can! But a lot of folks have trouble switching later on because of the pay difference. If you keep money aside, switching won't be a hassle. :)
