Ah shit, here we go again. When placement season rolled around in college, almost everyone was looking for a job. I decided to take a completely different bet—I skipped the corporate route and went all in on CAT preparation. As a fresher, passing up a steady paycheck wasn't an easy decision. There were moments of doubt, pressure, and uncertainty. But I believed in the process, kept my head down, and gave it everything I had. The journey was filled with late-night study sessions, mock interviews, rejections, self-doubt, and a lot of learning. Looking back, every bit of it was worth it. I'm grateful that the gamble paid off with 10+ IIM and IIT conversions. After a lot of thought, I'm excited to share that I've officially joined IIM Mumbai. This is more than just another milestone for me. It's the beginning of a new chapter filled with opportunities to learn, meet incredible people, challenge myself, and grow. A huge thank you to my family, friends, mentors, and everyone who supported me through this journey. I couldn't have done it without you. The grind resets now. Let's see what the next two years have in store. 🚀 #IIMMumbai #MBAJourney #CAT #MBA #IIM #NewBeginnings #Grateful
