In this video, I shared 10 facts about the harsh reality of corporate jobs that you should know. The reality of corporate jobs is often obscured by very few people talking about the dark side of corporate life. You are led to believe that landing a job in an MNC will suddenly make your life much better and help you become happier than ever, This is as far from the truth as something can be. This is why I have made this video about the harsh reality of corporate jobs so we can have a clear and honest picture of the corporate world before entering it.
The first fact about the harsh reality of corporate career is that there are no laws to protect corporate employees. For example, there are traffic laws in our country so that nobody driving on the road drives so harshly that it harms others. However, if you are working in a corporate job and your client is based out of your country then there are no laws that apply to them and practically no way to hold them accountable. The second harsh fact that you need to keep in mind is that teams are a myth in the corporate world. This is because everyone in the corporate world prioritizes their own personal growth over whatever their team needs. This is the truth about corporate life.
The truth about corporate jobs is that everyone is looking out for themselves. This might work if all the people working towards a goal are from the same company. But it will definitely not work if all the people working are not even from the saem company. If someone is from TCS, others from Wipro, or IBM then there will be even less incentive to care about the other people on your team. The next fact is about emergency funds. Let’s be honest that your job in the corporate world is not permanent. And everyone of us wants to quit the corporate world some day. That is not possible unless you create an emergency fund. You need to have a backup plan. Create that 12 month or 6 month emergency fund so that you can take time off your regular job and focus on doing something that helps you replace your corporoate job somewhere down the line.
The next item on the list is upskilling. This is not just the harsh reality of corporate career but also the harsh reality of life that you need to always upskill. Some jobs are designed to pay high. A software engineer or an AI/ML engineer will earn a lot by working on new and exciting stuff every day. Similarly, if you are working in any of the fields which are just emerging, you will be paid more. So, you should not work in a field that typically pays less despite whatever your performance is like. Don’t combine passion with corporate career. The next is to prioritize communication.
You have to make sure that you keep everyone on your team in the loop for everything that you do. Next, you should learn to identify bad behavior. Bad behavior from anybody, client, manager, colleague, you should be in the position to identify it and avoid it. You need to focus on building your side hustle. If you are interested in something new then the first few years would be very difficult but sooner rather than later you will figure it out.
The next reality is that switching your job is always better. If you are not paid as per the market standards and you are not learning enough on the job then please go ahead and quit. You should avoid the stress and pressure that all these things come with. Go and resign from your job right away if these things keep bugging you. Next, you need to focus on your well-being. You need to draw very clear boundaries at work. You should know that the better you treat people you meet at work, the more likely they are to help you in the future. The last point is that everything is about profits in the corporate world so you should prioritize your personal growth over your company’s interests.

One big thing I learned is think yourself as a business and never show loyalty to any job.
You are correct. When employers are not loyal then no question of loyalty from employee.
@@debajyotibhowmik1495 exactly..... Dont let them gaslight you.
True
😊
Loyalty is weakness and it doesn't work anywhere, be it at your job or relationship. One day everyone will betray you and leave you
1. Teams in corporate are for namesake..mostly people work as an individual contributor and the sum of their individual work= work of the team rather than collaborative output
2. Emergency fund cannot be the only saviour..maximize your earnings and spend judiciously..that will give you the most optimised savings
3. People who keep all communication documented in email are the most respected in corporate
4. Switching jobs after few years is very important..for salary growth, personal growth as well..
You survive only if you know someone , and your boss- team works then. If you use your brain then you only end up working.
Teams in the corporate world are mostly cartels, mafia, gangs. If you are part of it, you prosper, survive.
Sir you are saving coming generations from double edge swords of corporate mafia.

ఏ కంపెనీ తమ ఉద్యోగుల అభివృధి గురించి ప్రామిస్ చేయవు ఒక వేళ మనం కంపెనీ కోసం ఎంత కష్టపడ్డా మనకి ఒక పొగడ్త తప్ప ఆర్దికంగా ఎలాంటి ఉపయోగం ఉండదు ఇంకా నమ్మకంగా ఉంటే అభివృధి ఉండదు మనకి మంచి అవకాశం వస్తె వెళ్లి పోవడమే మంచింది మాటు మాటుగా కంపెనీ మరే ఉద్యోగాలకు చాలా అభివృధి అధికారం ఉంటుంది అని నా భావన im feeling proud to share my feelings in my native language hope you respect 😊😊😊 mr pavan

My growth is important to me because if we do hardwork like donkey for the company we get the same salary that were hired for 😂😂😂
Harsh truth is regular Donkey usually do not work after 7 pm .
Corporate donkey has no life and can be called to work at 3 Am ,on weekends on holidays whether you are at home or even in hospital 😂😂
😂😅
Everything is coming with pros and cons, adaptibility is the key here.
Spot on!!!!
More than technical skills these are the truth that everyone in corporate need to know.
Hello sir, it will be very helpful if you can address this following situation. I am a general category candidate, I have done my MBA HR from a tier 3 college and aim to give 2 serious attempts of upsc cse while working. I have researched in depth regarding all the services, have talked to many officers and came to the conclusion that I will be filling only 2 services in my preference IFS & IAS. If I don't get any of these 2 I don't wish to stay in India. I aim to work abroad and pursue a PhD from an Ivy League university. But my close friends and family members are making me feel very guilty and bad, they insist that I should at least fill 6-7 different services in my preference. Now this has confused me a lot. I don't wish to join services like the IRS, IAAS, IPS, IDES etc as it does not match what I actually want from my life. Am I doing something wrong here, please sir I request you to give me your valuable input and guidance.
The corporates satisfy the ego of person.
1. Employees are proud to display their ID cards and want big names in their resume.
2. Employees talk about 3 years experience and join TWITCH companies. The smaller companies become stepping stones.
3. Employees want onsite opportunities, stock options, work from home, medical care for self and family, ambience, get togethers and all kinds of fun activities.
4. Employees want pay hikes with seemingly no change in the work that is done. Neither in terms of quality or quantity.
5. Employees expect corporates to train them in the name of reskilling.
When employees expect so much of safety net and perks, employer for sure will treat them as bonded labour.
The returns are poor if the risk is less. Top Executives are paid based on the business they get. The profits are shared by the company and the executives.
Super video.
Side hustle will become the primary source of income if you don't give up on it.
Teaching is my passion and I quit my corporate job for it.
Thank you ❤ sir
Bitter truth analysis
love the content bro.. should have known these years ago.... already ruined now
Hello where is the video on communication ?
Good videooo ❤❤❤
Your last sentence was so 100% true. I am going through that already. As a result put in my resignation. and looking for a new switch to get plugged. Also investing in my skills and certifications online as many as I can do. For the last 7 years my company coudln't spend even a ruppee on my development, being part of L&D. They have money for parties, lunches and dinners. But not on me. Instead of feeling shameless and sorry, they feel ok for me to resign....although with little shallow attempts to retain.
If my company helps and provides for my personal growth then company growth would be required as well .
I'm looking forward to becoming a AI engineer, should I consider moving abroad or stay in India for work experience?
Pavan you are a Guru
What if i have money? Have 2 sources of good income should one work a job? What should one do then? I have lot of time on my hand
Very nice video
Very realistic
While I am not from IT, the concept, I think..., is sector agnostic. you explained it well. One thing always bugs me....while i understand, effective communication is not English alone,but does it mean, being open about your ideas and thoughts with your colleagues and boss or something else.
Though I don't mean to be biased, my experience is, I see a lot of flocks from North being more communicative and outspoken in or related to business, while people from South are a bit low on this count
Personal growth
Talking so good.
I always admire listening you
After Reading "One night at the Call Centre" by Chetan Bhagat and seeing this video, it really gives chills through the spine 🥶
Treat your Job as your Friend, If it gives Benefits then it's Real, if it's not then it's Fake 😅
Is 6 months of emergency fund equal to 6 months of salary?
U-day Benjamin🖐
The only labor laws applicable in a corporate are the leave policies 😂
Pavan side hustle is making UA-cam vedios
It is!!
👌👌👌
Family man reference 😂😂
It is more scary than a horror movies 😂
If one does not have a loan emi, just put a case on the company!😂😂😂😂😂
Cheap people are slaves of corporate culture!
Instead, of 6months, the standard spewed out on the ordinary people. Let the money be generated by cash flow!😂 It is eternal!😂😂😂
Side hustle is always required!😂😂😂
10 corporate problem 1 solution, start preparing for upsc or ssc😂
You think it's easy 😂
@@Aryanman89 well, not east but not impossible either.
Utterly negative and pessimistic thought process
When u IT anacondas earn millions every year,then why u cry like a female,have u ever tried even to understand the pain of chemical, mechanical,electrical engineering sector employees??first there should b strict regulation to reduce salaries of IT sector,IT has created the biggest socio-economic rift in hindustan,my friend in Pune works in govt petroleum industry,still did not get home in Pune,as he is chemical engineer,only alloted homes to IT employees in that particular housing project,this is darkest reality of IT
Government petroleum industry salary is low ???
@@sundarnarayanan3511 It's not as high as a 22yr kid got crore CTC in LPU in IT industry
@@sundarnarayanan3511 What out of this world talent IT engineers have to get crore INR CTC,can you explain, why is logic 1 or 0 and not 1 or 2??
Jungleraaj 😂
_/\_
I think 70 percent of points only applicable to service company employee
Are you from product company? Which one??
u might have got fired for his laziness and now he has no other way to live his life
Are you from IT?
@@gastro1497 Yes ofcourse. And unlike this crap youtuber who is demotivating energetic aspiring software professional, I am self motivated and voracious for my professional growth. He is simply triggering negative mindset to people and earning his livelyhood. Its not good for Indias growth. We are not like developed countried like Europe or North America and sad part is that if you do not do your job properly, there are 1000s to do that.
