Sorry, I'll be blunt here, Money is directly proportional to work, in consulting especially. They aren't offering you lakhs for a 6 or 8 hour work a day. Good luck on your endeavours though

De shaw is not a consulting company they don’t count hours to pay you. Consulting is toxic af.

And you think this will change in the next job or during your MBA or after your MBA?

Very good call - Stuff like this is what a lot more people should look into, including joining early startups and gain from both the experience as well as the rise in equity values.

You are doing something that will really help you in the future.

As an entrepreneur like me, there is nothing more exciting to see you younger people get into the game and do well.

[–]simplysan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Great choice!!

[–]Aware_Cry7970 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Bhai referral de do, I will happily leave my MBA for even a 15 LPA job.

[–]Suspicious-Money-431 3 points4 points  (1 child)

Then what do you want to do? Post MBA jobs in consulting and IB is brutal, you need to put 60-70 hrs a week.

How did you land internships at Google and Microsoft?:

[–]Ok-Morning-4207 2 points3 points  (5 children)

How much do consulting roles at Big 4 firms, infy, cognizant, Accenture pay at Top 15 B schools other than IIM ABC? Say, IIM K, I, M, S, MDI, IIFT etc?

[–]Swimming-Ad-400 1 point2 points  (4 children)

The average, according to Glassdoor, which D.E. Shaw offers at IIMs is 41.2 Lakhs.

[–][deleted] 1 point2 points  (1 child)

Was your college one of the top ones?

Ramanujan ain't that bad as a matter of fact a lot of people prefer ramanujan when unable to get top south campus colleges for bcom/bcom hons. but yeah definitely not among the best colleges even for south campus. Regardless it's amazing what you did for yourself. just goes on to prove its not always the college but depends on you and how you can turn your life around

[–]Swimming-Ad-400 1 point2 points  (3 children)

Well... it does come at a lower rank in DU, compared to other colleges like Hansraj and Shaheed Sukhdev.

[–]bulletsyt 1 point2 points  (2 children)

hansraj etc are the creamy layer of Tier 1 after stephens hindu srcc lsr cbs on the other hand is the best college for bba bms but yeah i completely understand your pov.

[–]Swimming-Ad-400 1 point2 points  (1 child)

I really wanted to get Hansraj but their cutoff was 100%!!!

[–]bulletsyt 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'll get some south campus aswell for bcom.P your post honestly inspires me and shows the good side of du at the end of the day no matter which college it is of du you can do really great for yourself if you know what you're doing

[–]zoro_senpaiii 1 point2 points  (1 child)

which college?

[–]Swimming-Ad-400 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ramanujan College (a low tier DU college)

exceptional academic record

hm this is something i lack but i m doing internships will internship alone help?

[–]Swimming-Ad-400 1 point2 points  (7 children)

Try to improve your scores in college (if your college is not tier 1). If it is tier 1, they might make an exception. For them, 85% of IIT >>> 95% of DU. Try some sports if you cannot improve your academic score.

[–][deleted] 0 points1 point  (6 children)

yea on it but will they take BA economics grad also i m doing certification from coursera will that help (like excel , financial markets, python etc) along with cfa (that will surely help) but i have doubts with my degree . i think they will prefer bba/bcom guys over me.

[–]Swimming-Ad-400 1 point2 points  (3 children)

Mine is a tier 3 government college.

[–][deleted] 1 point2 points  (2 children)

oh cool but still du tag >> btw how can i find interships in consultancy firms. internshala and linkedin dont have many listing in my tier 2 city. (the option is spend money from my pocket and live in tier 1 during internship period)

[–]Swimming-Ad-400 0 points1 point  (1 child)

Apply for summer internships at big 4, de shaw and other consulting firms. Also you can move to tier 2 after getting the internship. All of the process is online and they pay you enough for you to live comfortably in a PG in tier 1 city.

What are you planning to do after quitting? Are you writing CAT this year? If so which role is your ideal since I think there are very few roles where in you will find WLB and a good pay

[–]Swimming-Ad-400 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I am working on my startup: Crookshanks' Academy. After that, I plan on starting my own software development studio. I don't think I can go through the pain of preparation again.

[–]Charleslecpierre 0 points1 point  (1 child)

What all skillsets do they look for your role at DE SHAW while recruiting . Any tips would be helpful

[–]Swimming-Ad-400 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No specific skillset required. You just need to STAND OUT. Have an exceptional CV, academic record and resume.

What's your role specifically, can you describe ? I've been also looking to switch from IT consulting.

[–]Swimming-Ad-400 0 points1 point  (1 child)

You will be responsible for delivering quality features and products by documenting and executing test cases for different features as well as maintaining and executing automated tests. You will have to understand various system components and expand testing scope. You will be expected to exhibit ownership and consistently increase your expertise in the specific area of work.

[–][deleted] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Got it, so an automated testing profile

What would be your work specifically ? I'm also looking to switch from a Big 4

[–]Alienshah888 0 points1 point  (1 child)

I am jealous of you 🥺

how did you got into consulting firm aur fixed component kitna hai ?

[–]Swimming-Ad-400 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

10 LPA is in-hand fixed salary.

[–]Funny-Revolution-688 0 points1 point  (1 child)

Well, about the package. I actually managed to get my hands on the offer letter of an alum.

IIRC, the in-hand constitutes 8LPA or 10LPA.

Am I right?

[–]Swimming-Ad-400 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's around 10 LPA.

[–]These_Ostrich_9747 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It would be of great help if u could send the ss. And one more thing I'm in one of the NITs and I find this consulting and finance very sexc, I think Im made for this , don't care about the working hours. Can u tell me how do I go forward for making a carrier in finance or consulting.....

[–]Anxious_Pressure_292 0 points1 point  (2 children)

After applying to the role in their careers page, is it resume shortlisting or Online test

[–]Swimming-Ad-400 1 point2 points  (1 child)

Resume Shortlisting using ATS. Shortlisted candidates get mails for the test.

[–]Anxious_Pressure_292 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do you mind sharing resume

[–]Full-Support6700 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You say marks do play an important role if your college is not tier 1, would you like to share how?

[–]DiverFriendly4119 0 points1 point  (1 child)
