Life throws at you tons of choices at every moment of your career and sometimes it becomes difficult to take a decision, especially knowing that it would define how rest of your life will pan out.

One such moment in my life came when I was in 10th standard. I had a hard time deciding which stream to pursue. Since I had a good analytical aptitude and attitude, I went for the typical engineering route.

I was able to secure a three-digit rank in IIT JEE (and a good rank meant more choices, facepalm). After a lot of deliberation and discussions, I decided to pursue Chemical Engineering at IIT Bombay.

Career‌ ‌as‌ ‌production‌ ‌manager.

While at IIT Bombay, I was actively involved in the student body and went on to become the General Secretary. In my final year, I was pretty sure that I would be getting into a management consulting firm or a startup. But, as fate would have it, I got placed at one of the largest speciality chemicals company in India as Production Manager. Three months into the job, I realized that this is not something that I would enjoy doing in the long run and I resigned. Next, I joined a startup. I was doing really well until a point when my role became monotonous and work repetitive. This time I was clueless.

Much‌ ‌needed‌ ‌guidance‌ ‌and‌ ‌counselling‌ ‌from‌ ‌careernaksha.‌

While discussing this issue with a friend, I was recommended to try a career counseling session with CareerNaksha. Initially, I wasn’t convinced by the idea, but then my friend was able to persuade me to call Nimish and 3 days later, I had scheduled my first-ever career counseling session.

This session was one of the turning points in my life. In just one hour, Nimish helped me with personality analysis. He helped me understand what my character traits are, and which career trajectory will best suit it. We concluded, based on various factors, that a career in management will best suit my ambitions and personality.

I wrote CAT last year, got a 99.95%ile and received calls from best B-schools in India including IIM Ahmedabad, Calcutta and Lucknow. I started preparing for my B-school interviews and once again, CareerNaksha was instrumental during my preparation. Nimish personally helped me identify my strong areas and helped me overcome all the weak areas.

In most of my interviews, the interviewers delved into my personality and my career goals. I was very comfortable in answering these questions as I had done a similar exercise with Nimish during my counseling sessions in the past.

Because of this, I did really well and got admits from all the B-schools I applied for. I am joining IIM Ahmedabad next month and I can happily say that the credit of my success goes to CareerNaksha.

For all the confused souls out there, I highly recommend you schedule at least one counseling session with CareerNaksha and see your life change.
