Finally a Job ........... THERMAX


Dear Friends,
It is been long time since i bored you with some nonsense or my own troubles. Its been more than a month if i can say, that means i definitely must be either really busy or really lazy. Well... it is neither and it was placement season.
After the day one hiccups of Infosys, Wipro, TCS and CTS, i could get through THERMAX, proving that my heart rests in operations and i cannot be an IT guy any point of time. If Infy interview was excellent, TCS procedure of using the governmental procedure to hire was pathetics, Wipro did not know what to offer whom. They were offering me a job in Marketing when i was a hardcore Operations guy. Strange, either they are not focused or some thing is really wrong with me for going to that interivew after being selected in the GD round.
So i can say successfully that the placement of more than 72 students in the fifrst three days was not a phenomenal but an appreciable target. For a 18 month history, the students really did good and the Institute came out great with excellent logistics, suport systems, timely advices for the 3 days.
I got my placement on 17th January,2006 at 6:20 PM. That is going to be there, etched forever because i fought in the interview with everything i knew and i came out great. It was worth the effort fighting with a panel comprised of IIT K and IIMA with great years of experience. That is when i realized where my heart rests. Though manufacturing companies may not be high paying, but i got the profile that said that McKinsey guys will be baby-sitting me and i have to learning from them for the next few months to come.
So i will make a transcript of the inteview sometime later and post it here so that ppl can know that i had to deal with 10 subjects for technical and my whole life for the HR interview. The GD was a separate altogether.
Ciao for now.
