Quite often, it may happen that a person may make a wrong career decision and end up in a job or a role that they don't belong in, and it may be difficult to reverse this decision once it is taken. Even IIM students - the creme de la creme of India's talent pool - are susceptible to such follies. One such student was Saurabh Sengupta, who made a wrong turn in his career and took up the job that he later realised he was not cut out for. As an individual with a "sale-u" personality, Saurabh knew that he could not let his creativity and instinct be hampered by a role in which he didn't belong and within a few months, he quit his job, and by sheer serendipity, met with the founder of Zomato (then Foodie Bay) who ended up offering him a job after a very unusual interview over breakfast.
In this video, Saurabh shares his journey from taking up the wrong job as an HR Consultant to joining Zomato, and also talks about the reality of placements at Indian B-schools, and the myth of "dream jobs". Saurabh also forewarns the attendees of the InsideIIM Pre-MBA Social - Season 3 of the trap of adjusting to jobs and losing one's individuality in the process, and shares some excellent tips for identifying who you really are, what career you are cut-out for, and how you can switch to a job where you belong.
After Saurabh ripped the bandaid off in Part 1 of his talk at the Pre-MBA Social, in Part 2, he brings more of his candid personality and delineates what careers after an MBA look like. Watch this video for some excellent insights!

amazing guy. no words. love his honesty. thank you for sharing
More hindi required...
This is so so so straightforward. Nothing sort like painted picture with all the glamour of an IIM. From the core heart. We need more speakers like him.
Stay tuned for Part 3 of Saurabh's Talk today and MANY more speakers coming your way as well :D
Very true
I want 10 part of him speaking continuously
Even we would love that! So candid, no?
Same here
*but why the hell Swiggy and Zomato are not yet PROFITABLE, it's just about Customer Acquiring, Business Expansion, Advertisements and most importantly VIRTUAL VALUATIONS, not literally adding value to Delivery Boy's Life nor Customer's Life, aane waale samay me humm subb gharpe hi healthy food cook karenge (keeping check on our Macro and Micro Nutrients) ..... then why the Hell Swiggy and Zomato???????????? bechaare Swiggy Delivery Boys, they are being used Badly for VIRTUAL VALUATIONS*
The first job that you get is a mission to find out who your are, naturally. You nailed it with this line. Everything that you have said, made perfect sense. You should have a UA-cam Channel of your own.
My God. He is so candid and forthright. Liked the earlier parts as well. Every MBA, especially aspiring MBA's should listen to him!
So happy to hear this! You can also read stories on - Truths about Life at Indian B-schools here - bit.ly/2JFkyvX

"The earlier you switch the better off you are" applies to all jobs and careers . Switchers are not quitters. Learned it the hard way
I just love Saurabh sir's way of conversation, it's pure and honest. Thank you Inside IIM for such a wonderful conversation.

If I had such videos 12 yrs back I would have changed some of my decisions :) . To all MBA aspirants out there these talks are very insightful..... What we think as an MBA aspirant and what we get in reality are totally different....
Ab bta do bhai?!! Am cat aspirant!!
Just loved his frankness

i think its the affect of sales work that he is so candid
We want more like that... It was just mind opening
He is actually lucky he found it in 8months that he is sales guy.
People take years to develop that mindset
It took me 8 months to realise that I was in the wrong company and role. I had done sales before my MBA so getting back into sales was getting back on track (sort of).
@@sobbisen I admire your approach. I am in same situation as you were at that time.
ab tk k sb spraker me inhe sunkr. bhai mja ayaa..direct n practical
Oh god! This guy is so cool

Ye banda mere bhade bhai ki tara lagtha hai itna chill hai😂..I watched all 3 parts he has very good personality
"ye mai apko 2min mai batadeta hoon" is also a sales pitch if you can understand that how they grab your attention I mean that good👍
That's why govt job is best pta he kya Krna he no burnout
Depends upon your basic nature, whether you need challenges or comfort.
This series never gets old
Absolutely.
More to come!
"looking at other's people watch and telling them the time " what does he mean by that statement ?
He just described consulting as a job which is basically telling others what to do by analysing their resources and requirements...i.e telling the time to someone who has a watch but don't know how to read it
Edit: It is just my take from it
Sir, kindly shear about anode baking furnace releted in the carbon department.
We'll ask him when he returns to this channel for another video.
So I am in the final year of computer science, I am good at programming, I am sure I will get a decent job through on-campus placements.
But I consider myself more of a creative person, who loves to formulate strategies, distribute works among the team members, loves to look at the bigger picture and hates the nitty-gritty detailing. So what would be the best career choice for me?
PS: I figured out these things about me through various club activities I have been part of during my college, say for example I am currently Student executive chair of Alumni Association over here.
i would say get on software engineering role, preferably in a startup. You have much leeway in terms of where you fit in and what's happening around you. You get to wear multiple hats and have a say in decision making. I got to mentoring and work distribution within 6 months of joining. Later on a product-manager role/ entrepreneurial role will be great fit for you. But first knowing the nuts and bolts of the industry is crucial. You can learn a lot by just being a software engineer for a few years.
Would you mind sharing what choices you made and how it turned out? This is coming from someone who is now in a similary position as you were back then.
@@vishalmishra7018 Hi Vishal, I am working as Software Engineer at Olx, I got this job through on-campus placements (as I told in the previous comment). Currently, I am understanding the various roles and realms of a company. Will see what life has planned for me in future :)
Don't go to MBA immediately after your graduation. Work for 2-3 years and later analyse what do you like at that time rather than now.
charlie puth do be spittin facts tho
These videos deserves alot mare videos like a lot, all the parts
I love love love love this video! ❤️
thanks a bunch
Hi saurabh sir ,after listening to u. I have Q really MBA is necessary to make money or it's ok to go with job.
Cause u have suffered with lot unwanted situations which don't expect after completing MBA .
There's no right answer to this question. In any case, you can do an MBA if you are looking for opportunities in companies that come on campus and for the role, compensation they offer. It'll also help you learn some important subjects like economics, finance, accounting, etc which are very useful in life in general.
MBA is uncorrelated with making money.
@@sobbisen Sir,can u please tell me if a person do MBA from IIMs does the person get satisfied job ??and does he able to repay loan easily...????
more parts, please.
Yes! Today. Stay Tuned!
I loved the interview all 3 parts awesome ... EXCEPT that one guy who keeps interrupting Saurabh Sengupta ... IF ONLY HE COULD STFU & LET SS TALK @InsideIIM - Konversations

IIM Ahmedabad has 1cr package is it true?
You only understand after all this after experiencing all this
He genuine as fuck
Are BS and MS students from IIT considered engineers during the CAT by IIMs? If no, how much of a difference does it make in selection?
awesome

Hi there
CA Mohit Khandelwal here. We're a group of young qualified enthusiast curious about what they teach at high rated B schools like IIMs, XLRI etc. as many great positions, start ups are held/started by their alumni. So we're planning on creating a CLOSED group (Telegram/Watsapp) consisting of CA & MBA's from top B schools as it's members, so we can share each other's knowledge or ideas. The core idea is to add MBAs from top B schools and ask them to give us a download/share/interact (from) their learnings. We can also discuss ideas & startups on weekends to take each other's thought on that.
So to start with can you pls answer below two questions
1. Is the above idea interesting?
2. Will you be interested in joining such group?
Cheers!!
Heyy mohith I'm CA final srudent can i join?
Jabarrrrr
Lit...🧐🧐
Just came here because its zomato ipo day!
If a student is innovative and not very social or not a good communicator, so which major subject should she/he go for, finance or marketing ?
Finance
I have doubt regarding iim those who does MBA in iim those job is guaranteed or not
What is he saying about jet and consulting stereotypes? since i don't know hindi.
A few days before this was recorded, Jet Airways went kaput. I mentioned that a common stereotype is "consultants constantly flying on Jet Airways..." at which point both the audience and connected the two. Quite a silly moment now that I look back.
Coolest
Wo sab chorr bhai pahle ye batao, mba ke liye liya hua loan pay ho payega ki nahi. Job ka tension se zyada loan ka tension hai.

Why engineering jb sales hi karni thi , I don't know why most of engineers are in sales
That's like asking "Why marry jab divorce hi karna tha"
Bhai aise logon ki by chance founder se meeting kaise ho jati hai..woh toh bataya nahi faltu ka kya baat raha hai
"Every founder once used to beg for employment in companies founded by others"
Woh pehle se mere network me tha
@@sobbisen Are you the real one??
@@MTWMAYANK yes
@@sobbisen I need to talk to you. How can I?
Hindi me maza aata h

Ye banda thoda introvert side jyada lagta hai and sales wale to dhaddale se bolne wale hote hain.
Contrary to popular perception, extroversion and sales are uncorrelated. Ambiverted people generally do better at sales than introverts or extroverts.
@@sobbisen yeah sir thats also the case but people would say that for every profession to be on the safe side, but since you are in sales and i am not so i will take your word for it.
@@subarashi516 please read Adam Grant (Wharton) research on this subject
Bhai ye ladka thoda abnormal lag rha hai
Hai thoda abnormal
