Everyone has had the feeling at some or the other point of time. I have been lucky to have had it a number of times. But THIS was something special. Something Out of the World. Something Unbelievable. Yes, I finally am employed.

I had been interning at one of the best places in the world. There is not a single person who could disagree. However there were many who dissuaded me. Some knowing of my goals, some …, and yes it worried me to think I would not be able to study for my placements and that I would also not be able to prepare for November the 18^th. Had I put in too many eggs in the same basket???

Finally I am able to set to rest the uneasiness in my mind (Well it happened a week back, but anyway).

I was fine with not making it into one in the top bracket, I felt smaller than the rest, felt less prepared. Then DE SHAW happened. I got to sit for the interviews there. It went well but didn’t get selected. It hurt my pride (call it my ego if you want to). I could not make it work in an interview. I had failed! An INTERVIEW!

I had just decided I was going to start serious preparations for the campus placements that TI came along. The interview went fine, I was skeptical though. I wished I got through just because I couldn’t bear with the agony of failing another interview, and then I got placed!

And how does it feel was the question on every ones lips. Everyone that mattered! All I could muster then and all I can put to words now: AMAZING. I did get a job on my own after all! I did deserve it after all!

It truly is the best feeling in the world… Cheers! Now next on the checklist…
