I’m very much sure that at this moment of time, many of them will be busy searching for jobs. Your parents might be frustrated as your friends may have started working in big MNC’s like Infosys, HP etc. Sooner your neighbors will start asking questions on your job. This is the tradition from last few generations
So before starting this let me ask you one question. Do you like to work in a place with lot of people who actually don’t know what they are doing and keeping looking their watch every now and then because they don’t like their work or do you like to work in a place where there are some energetic and passionate people almost of your same age who enjoy and at the same time they work !?
Definitely there might be some who likes to get a job in INFY or WIPRO, as they get a good salary initially and also a good brand value in marriage market. As Robert Kiyosaki said when you are young, work to learn, not to earn.
As fresh graduates, you should optimize yourself for learning. Whether it be any technical or management skills. You have to work somewhere in order to understand how it feels and also to get some discipline which you will learn only when you work under someone.
In order to learn new things by enjoying the work at a great speed and ease, The best way is to get a job in a startup. Here I’m listing out some advantages of working in a startup
1. Great Training and Mentoring
Working in a startup can give you a great training covering all the verticals. If you are working in an MNC. You will be trained on a single domain like .NET or JAVA and there will be team leader above you who actually get’s the credit. You will be asked to develop a small function in a module and you won’t be knowing what the actual product is!!. But in case of a startup you will be involved in a project from the initial stage like Requirement Specification to the final deployment hence giving you the full knowledge on it. You can get good mentor-ship also.
2.Passionate Team
When you work in a startup, you will be with people almost your age and same wavelength. What more do you want to enjoy your life. You can discuss anything dumb in front of them. Share your crazy ideas. Startups are the place where super ideas are generated as people from different fields is collaborated there.
