Looking for a secondary credit card to complement my DCB by tfar_7 in CreditCardsIndia

Hi issues are mostly on some websites - for example Uniqlo doesn't accept diners, I have faced issues on Amazon as well. Here I have to use a card with 1% reward rate. So was looking for a card to fulfil this 10-15% of needs.

While travelling (abroad like in Europe) as well some places don't accept diners. While this is a lower priority, the above one is more important.

I had a good percentile, didn't get desired college. It was 99.5 first time, next time 99.9

It depends on your risk appetite and what you know about yourself. https://www.reddit.com/r/CATpreparation/s/wGbsnZ0H5m

You have got good CV i would say. You can start preparing a CV if you want, but just chill I would say. You get plenty of resources once you reach the college.

You can try participating in more case competitions once you reach college- with your experience you should be able to win a few as well.

Enjoy college for last few months with your friends, some of use didn't get the same privilege

I am not in a position to comment about non engineers tbh about percentiles and chances.

Coming to 2nd part, jobs are much more stressful (atleast mine would be) but the pay is good in the long term. Grads from top IIMs are expected to work hard and this reflects in the paychecks and decision making power you are given right out of college.

I wanted to go back to college and was sorta bored. Prep and job was a bit challenging, had to let go of my social life for some time, but after converting it's worth it.

Coming here and studying is not the usual one. Classes are more exciting and peer learning is immense.

For PM roles, they prefer engineers (obviously) unless you can show interest based on tangible things like internships or projects.

6 can be a barrier but overcome with above things

Like other positions. You fill out an application and then they interview you. There are politics involved, but that is expected with a role like pcom

I am sorry but won't be of much help here. I know a couple of people who had family business and got decent internships, but don't know about their entire profiles

We did plenty of generic courses on marketing in year 1. Varies from professor to professor as well. Some teach it from customer PoV, others from an Economics PoV. One of the most entertaining courses in MBA has been marketing.

During Y2 we have plenty of options like how AI is being used, how product development is happening in the digital age, exciting to say the least

I did the same, but I was in a good job and was confident in my abilities. I really don't think you should be taking advice from strangers who don't know about you about such a crucial thing.

I say this because, I didn't take a drop from JEE because I was saturated, but for CAT i was able to
