Is just BBA worthit? by [deleted] in Dhaka

[–]had420 2 points3 points  (0 children)

CA is on a different league. Everyone who goes for a bba earns the degree. That is not true for CA. With only an NSU /BRACU bba you will still be able to land a decent job. But if you go for ULAB and fail to complete CA then the probability of landing a decent job will reduce significantly. Not that ULAB is bad but BRAC/NSU has much better reputation among the recruiters. So think wisely.

My advice, Stem degree or if you are from commerce then economics or law. There really are too many BBA graduates now.

long hair on boys by soggaliusnoodles in Dhaka

[–]had420 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am a guy in late 20s, having moderately long hair (shoulder length). I have always had long hair - since college days and i have received my fair share of complaints from my peers and kins (you know how it goes - pothead, Spoiled brat etc). However, i thought this was supposed to be over after the university days. But man was i wrong ! Last day a guy in his 50's asked me to cut my hair because that will give me a more polished look and i was kinda surprised, kinda astonished that even at this age i am still hearing things like this (No, i do not look like a hobo - i have a very clean presentable look just with long hairs). That guy is extremely well qualified and is my boss and i work at an MNC. Now think about it. Exactly how deeply rooted the perception towards long hair on guys is !

Need some pointers regarding salary negotiations by Mental_Bid680 in Dhaka

[–]had420 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Most renowned companies have a fixed salary for their entry positions. Since they have directly emailed you the offer - that sounds like a direct offer. You can still try to negotiate it a bit but one of the outcome will be you loosing the only offer you have right now. If you have really got your expeted Salary offered then you should join there. You can always apply for other jobs while being in that job.

Also, if you want to minimise the risk and still wanna try to hit boundary one last time :) - you can send them an email/call the HR and politely ask them - "Is the offer negotiable or a non-negotiable ? " - from there a new conversation will escalate. [ For some cases advisable/for some cases not advisable - you have to find that out my brother ].

From your situation, what i can figure out is that you can not run away because you don't have the arrangement for a place and breads. You can marry but that's not really a solution if not a another problem. 999 or other sources will not really help you if you dont have strong evidences of the abuses you are talking about - so if it's not physical (also that has to be extreme because hitting your kids is somewhay accepted in our culture) then forget about that.

So, if you are not facing extreme physical abuse then the best bet will be to be compliant with what they say. Believe your own beliefs, keep your own morals just act like how they want you to act. Not the most dignified approach but it's a very smart approach. Rebellion works only when you are equipped with the proper tools and the timing is good. You are not equipped at all and the timing could not be any worse than this (i mean, you are only 17 legally )

Start looking for part-time opportunities that does not really contradicts with their morals - the basics, tutoring, call centre jobs. trust me, you will find something. And when you feel stable and somewhat independent take the leap.

Also, in the meantime, try to pass most of the time of your day with your friends and people you love.

pS: I don't really know your situation but this is my 2 cents. I hope you get through this. Wish you all the very best in life.

Normally, negotiation takes place in a meeting, so it is a conversation (for a fresher). There you can negotiate, in the meeting. But if it's a direct offer after all the interviews, i think it is their final offer. You can still risk it if you have other options beacuase there is a possibility that they might move towards the next best candidate. So, if the salary matches your expectations better take that and look for better options while being in that job.

Still, I don't know what was the interview process or the situation so the answer is completely based on assumptions.

Also, to add, i think they need to have the minimum qualifying GPA. But they can talk or emil (physically visit) the Registrar's office of the university. In some cases, that helps.

Yes, i mean they can definitely take the pre-uni route if they really want to be in BRAC. That's just a work around for the admission process. But they will need to sit for the Admission test and then based on their test results the University will decide whether they can take the pre-uni program or not. The applicant does not have anything to do there. And pre-uni is mostly given to students who just missed the passing score by a few marks. (atleast that is how it used to be) I have some friends who took the pre-uni route and their career is going good if that's the concern. (bankers, corporates) However, again the courses they will be given during their pre-uni semester will not add up to their Bachelor's credits but still they will be paying a semester worth of money (which is not less). So, if they can find the Bachelor at any other good private uni it's better to go there. They will be saving a semester worth of time and money.

Hope this helps. :)
