One of the biggest challenges I faced was when I started my first job. It was a huge shift from academics to corporate life and also I had to go to Kerala and then to Pune. Few months into the corporate life while I was still learning and growing, I had to resign from my job to be with my family for support in a family medical crisis. In these two years at home after leaving my first job I have been constantly tested by life for my patience, ability to be optimistic and a will to never give up.
After a few months of me leaving my first job, I joined another job in my hometown just stay active and to not lose the confidence and the learning ability. As time progressed, the crisis at home started to ease out and then I started to look out for better career options for me. I had an aim of getting into a good B-School and do MBA and therefore I started my preparations for the same. I also gave all bank selection examination, a few government examinations just to get back in the habit to performing in the competitions. Finally I gave all management entrance examinations also but I failed by margins. And this is where I faced the biggest challenge in life, i.e. to cope up with failures. But I knew that I capable enough to give myself the beginning I wanted i.e. MBA form a good B-school. And therefore I accepted my failures humbly, analysed the gaps and with a will to succeed, I started my preparations again with even more dedication and finally aced the exams and got myself landed in SIBM Pune. The best part was that I learned to cope up with failures, have a never give up attitude and constantly try to improve in order to achieve whatever you aim for.
