I remember it was just after my summers when I went home. My father asked me what are the next steps now I told him that in my fourth sem we all will be getting placed I told him that the average salary had been 6.5 last year for our seniors and I atl least come in the average students of symbi so I should be able to get atleast 6 lakhs easily and even if I don’t push myself too much i might get at least a package of 4.5 easily. God I really curse myself why did I ever said those things why did I see dreams like buying a digi cam for my father and an LCD for my mother giving gifts to my best friends. Nothing is going to come true at least not In this scenario. Companies not doing recruitments, placements not happening nothing going on people fighting for even packages as low as 2.5 lacs. I mean I don’t say its impossible to survive with such a package but in a city like Bombay I still doubt it. And than what you get is sales for god sake if not a good package at least give a good profile. But no nothing at all people have reached their desperate levels where they are going for anything and everything they are getting. People who had egos about their so called work- ex are all now working at the same platform competing with the freshers. Well its not their fault its just this period which everyone is going through. You call your friends who are working and they say we are saving our necks, our pays have been cut. We didn’t get any rise, etc.. what to say this recession is taking a toll on everyone.
Dreams, ambitions, interests doesn’t matter now it’s a fight for survival now and the one who sustain through is a clear winner. May be it’s a test that god is taking well sometimes I say why does it always happen when I am there but no everyone is going through the same phase except that some have been a little lucky but all in all everyone can just hope that everything will come back on track some day. What we can do is to wait and watch and survive till than!!!!!!!
sweets, there is nothing wrong in dreaming big for your parents!!! only the time is bad. Give time some time. let it settle down and then you will surely make it big
