Finally got my bullet point :)

Over the past few months, ISB junta have been travelling all over India and also to thunderbird in the quest for glory.They really have created waves everywhere and I was too lazy any to do any of this stuff.But, if most resume's have bullet points like this, I felt i should ave at least one.Picked the marketing case competition at Posiedon and we got the 2nd place and my coveted bullet point.

Thats that and got some decent cash from the whole exercise too :)

Overall, I found my self becoming way more confident than ever before and I really stepped into the audience...however a couple of takeaways...

• Actually listen to the questions before you answer them :)
• Do not be defensive if encountered with a difficult question!!!

Now that Iam back into marketing, grades have started picking up again....finally some good news.

Posiedon was very well organized and yesterdays fashion show was rocking and it seemed as though we were looking professional models on the ramp....simply awesome

Hats off to the Posiedon Core team!

75 days to go

Placement fever is picking up here at ISB and consulting is the most attractive option(as usual).....I wonder why though.Before i came to ISB, I had not even considered the option seriously, I was thinking more on the lines of marketing and product management roles.

The latest Gas is tha consulting prep can get you ready for all other types of interviews!!! Well.....Bullshit. Each of the other types of roles require different forms of prep.

This term Iam doing the following courses:

Customer focussed product development
Investing in private equity
Pricing
Global operations management

This has been alukewarm term so far....but lots to come yet.

Interesting times....

The past few days have bee very interesting for me.I finally started participating in some inter B-school competitions and finally got through in for the Marketing competition for Poseidon (ISB).Apart from that, We(AHEM! I) worked on this really awesome case from IIM C.It was set by Mckinsey and it basically covered concepts from Microeconomics, Operations, Marketing, Optimization etc.I worked on the numericals tirelessly and actually enjoyed it :)

The heat has started for interview prep and its focus groups galore.I had a couple of interesting cases today but I will have to review some concepts pretty quickly to stay on level keel.

My current thought, as Ford prefect put it "Sleep is overrated ! "

NOW...Iam enjoying my stay here....good set of friends, interesting courses and the end in sight....it is so palpable that i can almost touch it ;)
