The advice i can give is, from my experience, Practical knowledge and confidence is more important then Book knowledge and Percentages, the corporate world is now coming up with some many options for Young Grads, they should have certain road map about there career.

Growth Strategy:

I follow simple logic Leader always has to Lead his team and the Company, Get sync with the technologies and be up to date with the new Enhancements happening around the IT industry, I follow one thing Your growth is always directly proportional to your Effort and Development goes along with Growth

Plans For The Future:

I dont want to be some where in couple of years, i want to be in a situation to provide employment opportunities to young grads,giving them an oppurtunity to work with my Dream Project.. VASYAA

Required Reading:

The First thing i would say is If some one is interested in certain industry first study that industry, see most of the videos on YouTube which takes about that industry or technology, coming to personality development, i would recommend everyone to read " The MONK WHO SOLD HIS OLD FERRARI"

Done Differently:
