I am hugely bullish on learning in life than degrees. To learn directly from top CEOs and Industry Leaders like Toshan on how to advance your career in #ManagementConsulting, Impact Investing, #PublicPolicy and Product Management; get employment support- feel free to check www.globalgovernanceinitiative.org/impact-fellowship *Impact Fellowship* Program. We are starting a new cohort on this Independence day this August 2023. I'm also excited to share the new POD of our new series - The CEO Diary where we are capturing a CEO's journey, their hard decisions, their skills, and everything that gets done behind the curtains. I look forward to giving back my all to my growing KZfaq community. If there are other CEOs you know you'd like to come on my channel, feel free to add in comments.

There is something fundamentally wrong about the way Indian students and their parents glamorize high paying jobs ("packages"). Count the number of KZfaq videos that say "How to get a Rs 1 cr package" or "Want a high paying job." A person's worth is determined in India by his riches. I live in the USA (passed from IIT) and most Americans don't have this mentality. They have bigger goals in life than to work for a FMCG and make a boatload of money. Ask Jeff Bezos, Elon Musk, or even Mukesh Ambani what their goals were. They will say things like "grow their company" or "build new products", but not "make more money." They are also not eager to jump ship at the first opportunity. Bezos never sold his Amazon shares and Musk didn't either (until he sold some Tesla stock to buy Twitter). Therefore, these guys are the richest people in the world. Our greedy IIM grads will do well in life, but will never become Bezos or Musk because they don't have the staying power or risk appetite of Bezos or Musk.

ALL Business schools are started to make money If you are too naive to understand that nothing can make you see the light. Almost all people who go to business schools go there to make money... nothing wrong with that but accept this reality. If tomorrow Civil work starts paying 10 times the salary of a MBA........MOST will quickly switch over to Civil. There is no such thing as work life balance when companies are paying you through the nose. Crazy deadlines are set and the consultants are forced to follow these ridiculous timelines. Maybe after many years of experience under he belt a consultant may be in a position to choose projects with 'sensible' timelines...but by that time the new batch of fresh recruits are more than willing to take up 70+ weekly work from these former overworked consultants. Let's be real and at least have the balls to speak the truth.

Hi Shatakshi, I have been following your KTs here on KZfaq, digging deep into consulting, and trying to reach out to you for real guidance. As you know in India there are a lot of talented candidates who don't get the opportunity to go to IIM/IIT/Abroad for their studies but they deserve to get a chance in MBBs and other consulting firms. I have been meaning to ask you if there is really a way for us to get into the top consulting firm by bringing knowledge, enthusiasm, and skills to the table and getting hired on the basis of the same? Also, will you hire us in your company? I really need you to guide me as you are the last hope for my dilemma! suggest a way and skills we need to upgrade.
