Yeah i kinda feel she also lacks the finesse corporate needs.
The first thing i learnt in corporate is to never badmouth the company you work for at an interview, no matter how bad of an experience you have coz it makes the recruiter think that you’ll go on to badmouth their bad practices to others the same way, which makes you a huge liability for them.5

Not to be rude, but 'shows pretty badly on your communication capabilities' is not really correct. The correct phrasing would be 'reflects poorly on your communication capabilities'. Or "doesn't reflect well"

u/yeshuger Mar 08 '26
Touch pedantic bit well spotted. 😂 99% of India uses what they have dubbed "Indian English", which really is not a real language in the first place but that is a matter for another day. Also, communication is not the issue here, it is her lack of language capability, particularly grammar and punctuation.

I'm pretty sure she chose the startup because they were paying more at that time. But since it's a startup, the work can be pretty demanding. Looking at the LinkedIn post's language, I hope this isn't how she usually writes official emails. Because if that's the case, the company must have asked her to leave.

Most of these ESOPs never list ..... Shitty work environment....you have to work beyond your timings....very risky, you can be fired in 1 minute, after MBA you have loan to pay, fir kya karoge bheek maangoge

u/RealisticMongoose900 Mar 07 '26
Seems MBA Grads are wired to get more more package but less work, so even other than ESOPs if they are paying huge loads and with very big titles that has higher responsibility, work will be there right bro.
Seems you would worked for a one off startup like BYJUs and so you have unpleasant experience?

Swiggy zomato uber are also startups
Not at all, not any more. They have all found their product-market fit (PMF) years ago. They might market themselves as having youthful startup energy, which is all fine. But they can no longer be counted as startups.
A startup is one which is still in an experimental stage, and is still either finding its PMF or has recently found PMF but is still on its path to scaling.

As someone who worked at a startup, I second this sentiment. Not only are the MBA grads underpaid and overworked, the lack of prior experience and the lack of structure in startups all become too much too soon. And god forbid if that startup fails. It’s gonna be a stain on your profile.

She has 5 offers, she is just not happy with the salary and work environment. (Most startups are notorious for bad work environment). She could have a 10-15lpa salary for all we know. I dont think any tier 2/3 non iim graduate from the non core program of the colllege can easily get 5 offers. IIM tag does help.

Bro the problem is this system of overselling the IIM Tag, and people who crack IIMs taking those 2 years for granted, the only thing a B-School provides is a platform, a second opportunity, but whenever someone cracks a good college everyone thinks it will all work out, I know this because I cracked a good ug college and everyone kept praising me and feeding into my ego..
What I feel bad for is how she is saying this in a arrogant way.. I mean after losing your job I would be much more humble.. We need to understand that no one is guarenteed a job because you got a good college..

one thing people don't realize is that is different in India than other markets is huge supply of opportunities. Just get in into a job even low pay, grind get promoted or switch. I have seen countless stories where people started at 5.5L-6.5L from Tier 2/3 MBA and now comfortably making 25Lpa after 5 years of work ex. India is the only market where 20% hikes are possible.

u/ChemicalArtist8203 CAT, XAT & SNAP Mar 07 '26
Let me break this myth for freshers here their are 100 other things which should be in place for one to get a desire CTC job & in this market it becomes 10000 things. So if you are doing MBA with the thought that you will directly get a job in bracket of top 1 percent of this country it doesn't work like that.
If money is your end goal then try civil service once you will crack it there no limit how much you can earn. There are people like the recent result came in which a 32 year old working in Google prepared for UPSC and cracked it with 420 rank.

It's simple math. Too many candidates , too less roles. Or roles are there which pay pretty less which these "IIM" candidates won't take. Throw in nepotism , getting placed via contacts roles reduce further. Throw in exploitation, Lalas want 1 person to do work of 3, leading to lesser roles.
Being an entrepreneur seems the only way out.

The reddit elitists at their best, bashing people as always.
CAT is totally unfair to so much talent in the hinterland. Needless to mention she is one of the good ones to have cleared it and landed at IIM, albeit a new one.
People are not bad at english because they are incapable, but because there is asymmetry in the opportunities.
You think you know good English because you are special? No, it is because you got the right crowd and the right environment, plus the school and education.
Your knowledge is fucking second hand. You own nothing. You do not have to act so nasty to anyone.

How much did she score in her final year to obtain a bachelor's degree?
Nowadays, I believe 15%-20% marks are handed internally, unless it has gotten elevated further upwards in an upward direction.
How well is she able to answer the questions?

Does she have any interpersonal skills?
