Long I wrote something.. 30th April it says was the last entry. Got offer from Gallagher that day. Exact 40 days, left home. In between -
- appeared at Collabera, Cognizant, Oracle, TCS(referral)
- stood outside Steria, Pune with 500 odd people, hopeful of getting interviewd,
- made 29 hr journey to Mumbai for Accenture, and got nothing
- saw Bangalore, Mumbai and of course Pune
- been with Prashant at IIT-B, considered taking up that Embedded course at ThinkLABS
- enjoyed Beer at Mondegar
- twice enjoyed air-ride
- played Antakshri with Jagga & Co. (Jagga, Soni, Siddhu) at Versova beach, 1st time Sea. (also cursed Jaggi for showing Sea in night!)
- kept phone on roaming, chatted with every possible prospect of getting me a JOB, persons ranging from L&T to Deloitte. Nothing worked.
Returned home with KPO offer,7th May. 18th May joining.
10 days home and no respite.
-Got call from Amdocs. Result got scrapped.
-Shopped extensively with sis. Sunscream in kitty too.
17th I left. Again a flight, via Mumbai.
KPO was cool. Lasted 2 weeks.
Felt like ..belittled, working with some dumb-heads. I call 'some'.
US culture started setting in. Loved it.
- Vishnu, my Lead, kept US flag on his desk. Not b'coz he loved country that much, but 'coz it was 'Made In US'. You dont get to see a US flag, generally 'Made in US'.
-Amazing Anisha, my trainer for a week. Loved her for getting chocolates. ;)
In between got call from TCS, checked a day before (otherwise it'd have also gone). Topped Pune region, all applicants. Had interview a week late. Didn't scrub it, and got it.
Well, it doesn't happen each time, but the day I resigned, I was watching Rajneeti with same guys the next day. -Reason to love Gallagher- And I met Mansi too.
Gyaan:
- Things require patience. I ended up with same company that got my 1st reject.
- Life comes full circle, one day or other.
P.S. - Journey ended with some bliss. Of course, other than the job!
