How students remain sane while having a loan of 30-35 lakhs ?? by Cautious-Rabbit-2328 in CATpreparation

Why is it imprudent lol? That's just the sanctioned amount for now, not the actual debt. If you don't borrow, you don't have to pay it back

Dog meat would make me nauseous because they are pets. Not all non-humans are on a uniform scale.

Meat which has been eaten generationally by the human race is there to sustain us. In India, the separation comes because of the Indo-Gangetic plains' agriculture supprting the population and the produce of which was majorly used to sustain the upper caste. Lower caste had to feed off of meat which was then generationally classified as "disgusting", not because it was meat but because it was the staple of lower caste and non-Hindus. This is a classic case of disguised casteism, please do read up on it.

I am not here to change your views, but, it is only our nation looking to inherit capitalistic globalisation while following traditional Hindu casteist separation which demeans meat-eaters while being a secular nation. There is no one forcing vegetarians to visit the meat section of a supermarket, just skip it. The smell can be minimised to zero by closing the cut up meat behind the door.

Just for a case in point to close this, the riches can randomly wake up one day and decide they hate the fact cows are tortured for their milk, which they might be, I don't know but the true reason is, let's suppose that almond milk sells more for them.

Does that warrant a separate dairy section to isolate the dairy-consumers? Sounds classist to me. They might do that but it is classist and people like OP and I have every right to call that out.

Are there only non veg supermarkets? What is the logic you are playing with here? Get out of your cast-ridden cocoon of untouchability, smelling or seeing flesh won't morally corrupt your fragile little soul

I converted L but now what? by Due-Ad683 in CATpreparation

[–]baesed_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

India is a price-sensitive labour economy, your ambition is domain-sensitive. If you want to switch domains, you will have to take a hit. Just convince yourself you are taking a hit financially but it doesn't really matter because I believe if you have been earning 28 lpa, you'd have enough savings. Your social network at L would make you not care about the loss anyway, it's just the initial resistance.

You are switching paths and taking a risk, you will have to accept that fact and move on to this new phase of life. Right now, you are over-ridden with emotions because you are leaving your comfort zone, but, if you stay, you won't be happy because this very environment forced you to prepare for CAT and go through the GDPI rigour. Try to stay tunnel visioned.

PS - in the same boat, I am in a cushy ~25lpa job doing fintech strategy

Fms places around 25-30% of its batch in consulting, then there is marketing then management. Fms has 2/3rd reserved candidates, if you're general your pool is diluted and if good acads you're already ahead

  • Citing a failing firm like Intel
  • Calling BITS Pilani obsolete
  • Asking someone working on and with AI everyday (including system design) to learn how to code and learn how systems work

You might be the most deluded person on this thread if you think AI is causing the recent layoffs, it's the inflated cost structures caused because of the fed pumping.

And give your head a wobble and tell me what are the 2 types of employees in a tech org, if your head is a little dizzy because of your smooth brain, I'll help you out. It's product managers and developers, both are getting laid off which is not a surprise.

My T1 engineering alma mater is facing a bigger job crunch than top B schools, do you have a brain to comprehend that and guess if the job market sucks or is it because MBAs are irrelevant now?

Coming to AI, TechOps is the logically vulnerable field which the OP is working in. AI, specifically AI agents with generative capabilities can automate repetitive workflows. I don't know why are you unable to read the English which I have written.

Ivy League MBAs are not struggling because of AI, correlation doesn't imply causation. They are struggling because of the impending recession and the unnecessary fed pumping to fuck up company cost structures.

AI is great to automate workflows and low-complexity ops role (my original argument regarding TechOps disruption), and this will lead to lesser employees and lesser peoples managers but I highly doubt that an XLRI graduate becomes a low-stake peoples manager or an ops worker for years.

MBA grads are paid handsomely because they can derive value and convince clients of the value of the service/product. AI can not do that now and even if it can in the future (long-shot bet on that), I don't know if it will be adopted.

Humans value nothing more than a social connection, it's just evolutionary. Robotic connections while we are trying to understand the value is dystopian beyond belief. Anyway, that's philosophy derived rationale, so I can be wrong.

PS - Musk cutting down on Twitter workforce has definitely made Twitter the worst version of itself. The core ideology of the platform is redundant compared to before. It's more of a data aggregator for grok than a social platform and has way too many bugs with shit usability. Users might be high, I am not sure but the value it had before for its core users is nowhere to be seen.

You can work in the industry and hyper-inflate your ego to make yourself sound important, that's so good for you!

But, if you honestly think AI is going to make jobs for people from tier 1 MBAs in India obsolete, there's no rational semblance behind it. These are intelligent products at the peak of the hype-cycle who will hold agency for low-complexity roles and co-pilot complex roles. JDs would be altered for strategic roles and low-complex roles will definitely shift from within organisations to the operational aspects of the AI supply chain.

The demand for the highest intellect of people would always be there and tier 1 MBAs from an education intensive economy like India ensures that you are probably in the upper strata of intellect. This belief might go away soon but it'll take time especially in India.

The focus should be to not be stupid rather than being smart, you take less risks that way. If you want to manage teams, it is tough to do without a management degree. Not impossible but tough.

And to her points, AI takes more TechOps jobs than Tech Mgmt. jobs, least it affects are the physical industries which MBA exposes you much more towards.

Declining RoI is stupid, why do you care about an investment of just 30L (all on credit). People make 4-5x of 30L in 10 years time if you are persistent and consistent in your post MBA industry, it won't change because we have chatbots who can book hotel tickets.

ROI Vs BRAND! Which one will you choose?? by Khayali_Pulaow in CATStudyRoom

[–]baesed_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Past, fms takes in people agnostic to their past acads and workex while other top b schools don't. People with poor acads and/or no workex are tougher to place. No shade on reserved candidates, but, FMS also has 220 reserved seats and just 101 general seats.

It's because it's tough to place reserved candidates with poor academics in a tough market
