The alarming noise of silence on being asked "Why the Rat Race?" is really terrifying!
Apparently peer-pressure does not have all the answers, just another reason to steer clear of it.
Great video, Ma'am!🙌
This is definitely one of the best videos I have ever seen. Really no one really talks about this which is very important.THANK YOU InsideIIM
Hey Nishant, Glad you liked it :D You are also going to like the next speaker! Stay tuned!

Best Ever mentorship before Starting the Education...One who is not window-dressing the future at IIM OR Consulting but teaching how to dress it ourself.
I was watching this video with full concentration. Most of us watch MBA related content on the internet to find out what kind of life does a B-school give you and what to do in order to get into a top job. But Seema Mam beautifully explained how important it is to choose a job that you would enjoy doing and at the same time cleared our doubts on how we would still be financially stable if we we worked in a field that we loved
Thanks for this beautiful message.
Do you have any topic suggestions for us?
Discovering yourself is a luxury few can afford in a country like India. It’s a very western concept, that to it is confined to the upper classes. On a lighter note, our Company driver when we were kids had 2 wives in Punjab. One wife was kept in his village in the Punjab while the other wife was kept at home ministering to his needs.
how do you identify a consultant at Airport ?
Ans : One who is in Suit!
I come from a Tier 2 B- school , and had kind of started from job of Insurance selling, and gone on to find myself a role at Consulting firm(it took me 6 years of persistence there) travelled Came back to India and joined the largest investment Bank . I came back to India,even though i will make probably half of what i was making there. Priorities change! in past 7 years my package has gone 7x (albeit a low base ) . I realize, what she is speaking is absolutely right. I would never have thought in my wildest dream i would not choose money and an offer outside India! Yet here i am.
Honestly i was more happier when i was making so less money compared to what i am making now. Hence i feel Money can only go as far to make you happier. Other things soon overtake!
By far one of the Best talks on this channel.
Hey Adarsh,
This is such a brilliant and inspiring journey! Thank you for sharing this with us! :)
And regarding your views on the monetary aspect - agreed wholeheartedly!
Best wishes for your endeavours!
Okoko
Agreed
Excellent example of mentoring . Keep sharing the wisdom so that there is more of camaraderie in life.
You are a wonderful person. Your talks have calmed me so much. I will always watch this video whenever I start to feel insecure. Great job InsideIIM !! Thanks a million
Hi Harshita, Glad you liked it :D stay tuned we have many more speakers coming up!
Have been following InsideIIM's videos for quite some time now and i must say this is the best channel there is for MBA aspirants. Great insights from the experts, and this is one of the best videos!
Thanks, Shreya. This made our day :D so glad and happy to hear that.
We spoke to a wide variety of successful alumni in our annual Konversations Cafe - Pre-MBA Social. To find all the videos in this series click here: bit.ly/2F8zNuG
Agreed but why would it take two years in MBA to discover yourself.. Few years back I learned about SWOT analysis from my MBA friend and it helped me discovering myself
A lot of people have their own way and pace to do things. SWOT analysis is a great way to discover yourself but experiences that you encounter when you are at a b-school, which gives you even more insight in discovering yourself. And not just a b-school, but same can be said for a new job, new place, new experiences, etc. :)
Learnings are everywhere around you. Colleges offer you a cocoon where you discover yourself, make friends (network), follow curriculum & hobbies. In terms of personality 5% of ppl are down to earth, 10% are highly competitive. Rest 85% being mediocre in MBA but grow very fast after college.
This video is a gem. Thank you for bringing this content to us❤️ I have saved this in my Favorites now. Going to listen to this when I enter B school this year :)

I've already seen 15-20 of these videos! And they somehow make me realise that the people who don't go to these tier 1 b schools don't end up having a life. And that's really sad. Are IIM's only for bragging and self praise? I know people who didnt go to any fancy b school and still make piles of cash every year. And o didn't come here for all these self praise and stuff..But to get an insight Into why companies pay them so much as compared to students from other colleges and what sets them apart. Clearly so far no insights.
because World need brand name....this is applicable everywhere!!
and there is huge difference between the teaching method in IIM and im other b schools.
I'll try to answer this:
Are there potentially great students who graduate from other b-schools? Most definitely! But is there also a high risk of the person to not perform? There is. This is because what a good profile (say 9/9/9), or a good college more likely reflect are a work ethic that a person has been cultivating for long enough, and hence is more reliable. Simply speaking, even if the probability of a candidate from tier-2/3 b schools to perform/deliver exceptionally at a company is certainly existent, the opportunity cost of hiring a lot of people who eventually don't deliver and hence become a problem is too high.
Let's use an example:
BCG recruits 100 people from say tier 0 b schools. The chances of (say) 90 out of the 100 to perform satisfactorily are high, because data shows so (past achievements, work ethic etc.). Doing the same from a smaller b school, even if they recruit 100, chances are only 50 will perform satisfactorily, and even if some of the 50 are exceptional (better than tier 0 people), the remaining 50 who do not deliver will have a negative impact that simply cannot be offset by those few outliers in question.
Companies realize that hiring is a complex/flawed process, and not a single interview can decide a candidate's worth, and hence to statistically reduce the margin for error, they set prerequisites to assess reliability (past performance)
To be honest, if you can prove to them that you are as good as anyone in the firm they'll gladly take you in. Though in typical situations it translates to working extra hard to seize opportunities and build a network, and at the end of the day, if it is your dream to work at a certain kind of role, no one can stop you!
So don't worry too much (at all!) on what you do not have, and instead respect this journey that has taught you all that you know today. Remember, opportunities are like buses...there's always another one coming (Sir Richard Branson). If you believe in yourself, I shall too! I Wish you the very best in this beautiful world!
Binge watching all the videos ! Loving it so far. 🙏
A super relevant and inspiring talk. Thanks Seema and insideIIM!
Hi Vaibhav, Glad you liked it :D stay tuned we have more speakers coming up!
Her voice is so calming!
Hey, why don't you watch all our latest Konversations Cafe videos here, We are sure you'll like it: appopener.com/yt/faq2idwuf
This connected with me on a whole different level, thanks for the most valuable advice ma'am.
Heard this talk probably more than 20times, and it's still great to hear her speak. The simplicity with which she puts the points pushes to think about long term goal.
Thank you InsideIIM.
I tried to search for Seema on LinkedIn, could not find her. I found her on FB but unable to send her connection request. Is it anyway possible to connect with her? Rest assured, I am happy working with Deloitte right now and not gonna approach her for any referral :)
Hi Saurav, thank you so much for your kind words! Regarding connecting with Seema Bansal, we're not sure if we'd be able help or not.
That's good....these kind of program should also be for STEM..... science, technology, engineering, medicine
Very mature talk.
the most intelligent lady in the Inside IIM cohort
It's not like that now, I am a Mechanical Engineer, and 50% of us are jobless 😂 after 3 years, and 30% of us are working other than core, and only 20% are in core and working. Not everyone get employed.
If you wish to upskill yourself and get a better place in job market then visit altuni.in and browse certificate programs that will escalate your career.
It was a good encouragement ! Truly it's more imp to discover yourself in this Journey
Glad you liked it, Joel :D
Someone needed to tell this! Thank you :)
Thank you ma'am.
She is an enlightened soul.
@InsideIIM upload all videos from pre mba sessions....they will help us a lot....
We will definitely try to cover most of them :)
Best speech by far for me
What is the location of this particular program. Can anyone tell ?
Lovely speech...
Most insightful!❤️
Woah woah... rejecting BCG at PPO- whole lot of self awareness+ f*cking guts
True.90% of person of those people will not come to mba.
🤣🤣
Very engaging talk...
nice advice
I would love to work hard for 2years instead living average life for next 30 years....why would someone settle for 10LPA instead of 26LPA at the age of 25 ??
That's what the fucking rat race is about.
It's not about how much money you make it's about how much you love your work and what impact are you having on the world
@@prajwalsharma213 true but no one literally cares about the impact part(unfortunately)
I think you have to listen her again.. you missed a important part bud.
What is average according to you?
How great ma'am.
I got an offer from IIM Ahmedabad this year but i rejected it and going to pursue Masters in Science from McGill University. I don't know whether that's a good decision or not but do you think this is what she meant to say ?
Manpreet Singh could you please share the process for mba in McGill University and also how to finance such a huge amount
I am going for Masters in science , not mba.
@@ManpreetSingh-lz3ds how much the total exp will be
This is a wonderful speech !!
Great talk 🙌

Delhi Vigilance Department has started probing on how BCG got the contract from Delhi Government, even after submitting a quotation which was twice the value submitted by the competing Company M/s.Earnest & Young. BCG - 6.20cr and E&Y- 3.06cr annually.
Now she has been employed by Punjab Government in a senior position.
BCG in the news for all the wrong reasons.
#Seema Bansal. You are awesome. Inspired. Thanks :)

I am not an IIM graduate am i useless. Whereas my known person with ST quota got into IIM inspite of me scoring more than him.
Why should we suffer for mistakes committed by our ancestors.

Yea ..as for me I wanted to be a Fighter pilot ..its the only job in the world which requires the dual qualities of( sachin tendulkar + Einstein) no other job demands this kind of a dichotomous personality trait which actually enables one to take Split second decisions inside the cockpit where even 2 seconds is a Big Time during combat flying.
Also as a combat air crew your corner office is at 35000 feet .& you routinely travel at Mach speeds ( 1700 km plus) & as a miltary pilot your everyday assignment is to fly & manage a 200 crore project ( war plane) that can decide the fate of a nation & your reporting boss is GOD himself becuz when you go up u never know if u would make it back to terra-firma & your variable salary Component includes Death apart from other earthly remunerations.
In short your CTC is your.. "Next birth" ..
krishnan R ok, agree with a lot of what you said at the beginning..
but how are CTC and next birth connected ?
it surely was an interesting line.. but logically found it a bit off the mark..
CTC becomes the plane you just crashed and the AMT they spent on you (whomsoever we consider in this situn, not literally you, just figurative) for training and salary uptill that point.. plus the pension your family deserves and would recieve.. plus ofcourse finding replacement for both the plane and the deceased.
Now that's the CTC as I understand.. what do you think ?
Imagine dying in Mig 21 lol , it's a great career but not unless we're in a developed airforce
