It is placement season and I can sense the pressure on all the faces. Fortunately for me, I am out of the process since I will be going back to my previous company. One way this can seem to be a fortunate one, but I am also not sure whether this really means loss of my competitive spirit. Only time will tell the correctness of the decision.
Coming back to others, I am sure everyone will get placed at the earliest time since the kinds of companies that come are excellent and numbers seem to more than add up. At an individual level, what matters is maintaining one's cool irrespective of the results of a few processes. After all, not every one can be picked up by the first company on campus. Students will face the real test of their perseverance and confidence in these couple of days.
The week ahead is poised to be more interesting as I will find my friends getting placed in various companies and be prepared for a corporate life in few months down the line.
One thing is clear, placement is not an end to an MBA education, it is part of the MBA programme, since it tests all the characteristics of a good manager. It is after all handling pressures, tensions, surprises, disappointments at one go.
