The Decisions That Matter

I started my career with low profile small company. My starting salary was 13000 which is nothing in today's world. But I worked very hard and listened to my instincts and learned a lot. I believed work should speak about yourself rather than your mouth. Due to which today I am in VMware :)

Other Thoughts:

Believe in yourself and god. I was kicked out of Infosys placement drive because I do not have 60% +2, have 75% in degree. I cursed myself and god but that's best thing happened to me. Otherwise today I would have not been in VMware.

Growth Strategy:

Keep on learning. The day when you on think you know everything, you have put a full stop in your growth.

Working Life Management:

Its very simple. Start working as you are doing your own work/business. This way you will not keep things pending and will get time for yourself and family.

Degrees That Matter:

I will recommend you to do certification related to your interest and profile. Which will help you to build your profile and salary too :)

Role Model:

My role model is an "Ant". Ant has never say die attitude and keeps on working.

Advice For New Professionals:

Always learn and do work honestly. Never try to do so called "jugad" with your career.

Prized Accomplishment(s):

I was awarded with "Star Rookie of the year" award for my first year of professional career.

Required Reading:

"Lead without a title" by Robin Sharma. Subscribe to any good magazine which can keep you up to date with new technology in the market.

Done Differently:

I would have done all things to learn and add to my wisdom rather than doing for the sake of doing it.
