I am an American woman and I have to say that i love your channel. Many of the pains that you share about the Indian corporate world apply to the corporate world in America as well. I’m finding such an empathetic and comforting voice here and you’ve shared so much wisdom. I love your point about not trying to tie your passions to corporate…it never works out. Thank you for being here!
I work for a US payroll firm and we're expected to work for 12 hours every single day. They're so unprofessional to even call us whenever they want even on WEEKENDS and ask us to login.
4:12 this is 100% true, I personally experienced this a lot. Managers of other teams are very nice to me when we have conversations over a coffee, but the team members in their team always crib about their managers, I used to wonder in the initial years
Wow Pavan thank you for sharing your valuable insight. I didn't know that most of the strategic decisions were taken in foreign countries and not in India. You had said in a previous video as well that countries like the US think of Indians as cheap labour and try to get a lot of support work done by them by paying very little. It's sad that Indians are still not taken very seriously when it comes to making important business decisions. We need to change that.
In corporate world climb the ladder. Outside corporate world build your own wall and ladder! 1. Save money! 2 invest saved money! 3. Buy assets. 4. When income from assets is more than earned income quit corporate job. 6. When in a corporate job enjoy your leave for going promotion or increment. That way one is happy.😂😂
Yes, consider your job as business and sell your services at discount prices. If you bring more value than the compensation you demand you can control your work environment and be happy.
It depends on the purpose of the joining a corporate job. When lower class get even a clerical-type corporate job, they are happier than doing odd labour jobs, which probably their elders did previously ( farmers, masons etc.). They have purpose of uplifting their family, educating their children better and build a place for themselves in society. They have fire in the belly and fear of losing out on respect.
Its not question about class its always question about lower or average or higher IQ/EQ ,most of the people working in IT sector from india are average IQ and managers are numbskull in terms of technology enhancements but better politicians than MPs and panchayet Pradhan as a result of which toxic work culture is everywhere more than ever.And in india purely this body shoppers (TCS,wipro ,Infosys etc etc )are responsible their only moto is to create personal wealth for their 10th successive generation at the cost of whole nation's talent pool and they defamed indian talent face by selling cheapest the best
Of course dost. But listen to the question asked inthe video. I mentioned you are assuming that what you have as a IT job in India is of low value, but what is "value". It will vary from person to person. Ok let's take an example. Just imagine if you're from a tier 3/4 engineering college. You know you ll have very little chances of beating folks from CS from IITs in top CS jobs. Now out of some networks, you got a basic Testing job say in tier 2 CS company like NetApp or even Capgemini in Bay Area or even say Texas, all sponsored and paid with salaries as there. Then what will you do? Is it not better life than that you'd have hardly had any chances of while staying in India with the intense competition (ive seen 40k applications for 1 job)? Something that's way out of your league here while having a tier 4 degree? Job might be shityy, no IITian would ever take up such a role probably, but for you, with your background and experience, won't this be a lifestyle changer ?!!. People think in multiple ways. Just similarly I said the corporate job satisfaction depends on what you consider as satisfaction, which varies from people to people. Trust me, I have seen the son of an auto driver who got a job in TCS ( probably earned the same as his father per month), but he had so much satisfaction and got so much respect in his lane of residence ( which had all families of daily wage earners), in fact he became mentor / role model to the youngsters in his neighbourhood ( he was called Ram anna).. he would daily wear clean formals and go to job - though it was typical TCS job. He was a BCA/MCA. You're viewing this from a single point. India is far far bigger than what we have seen, and most of us, seem privileged than so many more people who are just lucky to have job.
Informative video ! my opinion is happiness depends from individual to individual. Some of them might able to take risks going into entrepreneurship but definitely not everyone because they might be habituated and finding that happiness in their jobs itself
Pavan, you have a ability to put thoughts into words which resonates with others. Many people including myself feel frustrated at many things mentioned in your video, however when I listen to you it sort of untangles complex thoughts and provide more clarity. These are important issues which many of us go through but few have the ability, experience and resources to put them into words. Keep up your good work!
I watched one Vedio now. I will never miss your new video. Excellent topics and well explained in short tuke with practical examples and true facts. Keep it up!
HI i am inthis situation after 10 years career gap switched into software corporate world but obsolutely not satisfied here highly apriciated your perception in this session. Still I try to balance and be peaceful thanks for this session.
@@honchoabhi damn, I was thinking of an MBA but now idk if I should join corporate, I need a good work life balance, even if I don't get a lot of money it's fine for me. What would you suggest as options for me? Can't do business as I belong to the lower middle class group
@@arijit1809 hey, I guess you misunderstood what I mentioned. Both of them (IIM grads) - are intellectuals, with great companies (all they’ve earned from IIMs is good education & a platform). See from this point - if they work hard, volunteer & deliver results they’ll become CEO. Which you cannot without a good education (or MBA). Please note that: 1. As an average college grad. (you’d end up with mediocre people & job, where you may not have opportunities to grow intellectually). 2. Even if you work hard, volunteer & deliver results you’d not be awarded (forget about promotion) or CEO. 3. That’s why - understand - that when you’ve already have a good education (MBA brand) - and then if you work hard & do whatever is expected - you’ll grow & excel. 4. Don’t ever question (good) Education or take it for granted. 5. Probably after 3-5 years of corporate experience you can start a business, whatever & grow. 6. Don’t be overconfident - especially don’t discount formal education (there’s a reason it’s difficult to get into - in the 1st place). And what I wanted to convey that - even with great brands & education - if you don’t work hard enough & upskill you’ll end up at the same place (or worse - no where).
@@honchoabhi oh understood, I wanted to know, I got around 90%ile in cat this year which can get me an MBA from the best tier 2 colleges, but it's not enough to get me into an IIM, this was my second attempt, so should I try once again next year or join a tier 2 mba college?
It is very hard to cope up with the pressure in a corporate job. It is super stressful. Worst thing is that your boss, seniors and other team members don't care because they are also stuck there.
Pavan sir. I have noticed and experienced that drug addiction and corporate jobs have a lot of similarities in between them.. maybe corporate life is the main reason for increasing use of drugs in India.. office parties and team dinners are organised just to keep people addicted to each other's company through drugs. taki company ka faida hota rahe.. can you explain why is it so.. 🤔

Yes, we can. As long as we pursue detached attachment.
The reasons are sufficient to stimulate an idea of emotional resilience.
Thank you

DESI STARTUPS DESI FOUNDERS DESI DAMAGERS UFFF ...ITS MAX TOXICITY
Totally agreee
Main reason it feels that way because of culture of saying YES!
Depends on a lot of factors:
1. salary
2. flexibility
3. stress
Currently 1. and 3rd are not satisfied in my job

Your words indicate the dark reality of corporate life.
Thanks for spreading awareness.

The first two reasons for unhappiness that you told are highly accurate
Very pragmatic approach - just shared this with my cousins (both IIM grads.)
What did they respond? How are their lives in corporate? Are they happy?
@@arijit1809 - they said they too live a simple & mediocre life unless they work hard, volunteer & show results. Which is true for everyone else.

We tend to look for happiness at wrong places. The job is a place of doing business which can't afford to keep employees happy.
There is nothing like balance in the work life and after life as well :-) it all exists in our mind.
Efficiency 100% correct I'm working in us healthcare claims and what you said is correct
It is actually true in every industry
It is very hard to cope up with the pressure in a corporate job. It is super stressful. Worst thing is that your boss, seniors and other team members don't care because they are also stuck there.
