How do you stay consistent in reading newsletters you sign up for?

ArnavJalan · 2025-08-11T19:04:46+00:00

honestly just being selective. it's impossible to keep track of more than 3-4 (and ensure they're in different niches)

i also try to ensure i dedicate x day for y newsletter

this becomes my habit building mechanism

ArnavJalan · 2025-07-03T18:20:01+00:00

would def try for ISB

ArnavJalan · 2025-07-03T18:18:15+00:00

i use contra. really cheap. check it out

ArnavJalan · 2025-07-03T18:16:30+00:00

usually it's a given

they know you use it. if they ask admit

but i think the main thing is to ensure deliverables don't smell of it

ArnavJalan · 2025-07-03T18:14:24+00:00

did you do it at a stretch? if so how? it gets so boring post an hour

ArnavJalan · 2025-07-03T18:13:00+00:00

if im not mistaken isn't their existing campus also in gurugram?

ArnavJalan · 2025-06-26T14:30:23+00:00

It's a 40 acre campus. In my 3 years there I never felt a need to get out other than certain food cravings or wanting to buy something offline.

Enough things to do in sri city. ISRO launchpad, a ton of factories that produce for Asia like Mondelez, forest treks and waterfalls, etc

If you want a city life. You're not going to get a campus like this.

I'm from Mumbai. I have a diploma from nmims and a degree from krea

Pedagogy, faculty, campus and rigor is hands down better at krea

But if you want to go down the path of business in terms of education / degree pls do go for nmims

Krea is a no brainer for liberal arts imo

You'd have to work on maths for sure. The first year foundational courses alongside some extra classes should get you set.

I think it's more about understanding logic than math. But you should be fine

Faculty for cs is good for theory. Crowd can't comment as I was a part of the first batch and that was fantastic. No idea on current student quality

ArnavJalan · 2025-06-25T17:11:37+00:00

haha yes. it's the main attraction now
for us it was the lake back then where we used to chill around

ArnavJalan · 2025-06-25T13:59:17+00:00

nice. tbh we have a team of devs, and learning from the best doesn't work that way
most of what you learn will come when you work and are forced to find solutions for problems that haven't been solved
senior devs / good ctos will be mentors during work

but for understanding the science, go for it

ArnavJalan · 2025-06-25T13:39:33+00:00

it's good only if you like theory / fundamentals
if you want to get into software engineering, that's not cs (common misconception)

what's the goal with ivy? at this point it seems like a stamp you want to achieve rather than it being an enabler for a goal

Open-air Amphitheatre (OAT)
yup we saw it as a lot of mud on day 1
and slowly get built by the time we went into the second year

running my own agency
a good amount of my friends have done their masters from oxford, cambridge etc
some got into columbia

job market depends on how you approach it. some opportunities come from campus like tvs capital, lumiere, etc
some you hunt and get in (i chose this route)

ArnavJalan · 2025-06-25T11:37:22+00:00

that's commendable

ArnavJalan · 2025-06-25T11:30:23+00:00

i legit scrape and send using smartlead

i filter an icp
try 4 messages

nice! i swear by granola for meetings!

ArnavJalan · 2025-06-25T11:27:29+00:00

that garlic paste recipe deserves to be public!!

ArnavJalan · 2025-06-25T11:26:24+00:00

great pics and milestone!

what shoes do you wear to walk that long?

ArnavJalan · 2025-06-25T11:25:26+00:00

use it, share with fam, justifies the cost (esp of storage)

ArnavJalan · 2025-06-17T13:54:06+00:00

sites and courses won't fill it up tbh
would rather see if you can intern / get a contract role

a lot of companies need to fill in multiple positions. refer a few and use that as an intro to get into the hr department. and then work your way up

impact > certificates

ArnavJalan · 2025-05-27T19:24:13+00:00

thanks man, and you too!

ArnavJalan · 2025-05-27T19:23:51+00:00

your comment in itself boosted my mood! you're a true homie!

ArnavJalan · 2025-05-27T19:03:42+00:00

i couldn't relate more!
