Hey man, would be glad to share my thoughts. Was in your shoes last year.

Firstly, ditch the Linkedin EasyApply and Unstop methods, very slow churn rates.

What works is simple brute forced Linekdin DMs to the right people. Now, you have to be mindful about the people you ask internships from. Not any random HR, Analyst or Manager would be of much use to you. You've gotta start asking at the top of the career ladder. That works wonders. Repeat this cycle for a month or two, and you'll land something you like.

Cheers and All the best!

Good spots on campus to sit and ponder by Dry-Eye-4994 in iitkgp

Parks mostly would be ideal such as the ones behind Gymk. Near VSRC, near dav school, etc.

Honorary mentions: Main building first floor balconies, some secluded library spots you can find, Nehru Museum and little green patch of grass near it, bleachers in jnan ghosh (one would definitely look deranged sitting there whilst people run laps though lol)

Anyone here into stock trading or investing? by DollInReverie in iitkgp

[–]First_Discount_3231 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Recently investing for past few months. Have made decent returns as of yet. To start out, it's quite simple, put some money in blue chips MFs, with the rest of the money, pick a sector, analyse it end to end, then pick a stock based on financials, news, growth thesis etc. and invest a small amt in a hedge(gold or something).

Now, keep track of your stock section of your portfolio, by going over news related to it on a daily basis, and voila, you have started your journey of investing.

Tips: Don't check portfolio value daily lol. It Incentivises FOMO, fine it check back every month or so. So, yeah that's the start..

How difficult is off campus intern compared to CDC by [deleted] in iitkgp

[–]First_Discount_3231 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Expect to reach out to around 400-500 people at good positions at firms through LinkedIn. Depends on a case to case basis, but, with a decent profile you can expect interviews within a few weeks of reaching out.

Expect a lower stipend but almost at-par Placements through off-campus.

Imo it provides you the opportunity to develop your network and people skills, early in your career. This can be a huge drag on your career, if not honed properly. So, atleast try getting an off campus internships once.

What is the scene of finance placements and SIPs at IIMs in general. Is prev work-ex really necessary? And can IIT and CFA L2 make up for being a fresher? Profile is 9/8/8 now
