did not get job in your target company ??

HI Friends, 

Hope you loved our earlier email titled  "3 Career mistakes you should know before you begin" 

• We busted the Myth 1 : Change jobs often is key to success
• The mail enclosed below

You did not get a job you were targeting in campus? 

• No need to be disappointed
• It could be a blessing in disguise
• If you pick up the right company it will turn out to be a boon !! 

We will bust the myth around renowned companies being good for starting career

Myth 2 :  Renowned companies provide great career 

• 2011 : Top students top talent preferred Intel over Nvidia
• 14 years later 
• Majority of Nvidia talent of that era is dollar millionaire versus Intel talent is struggling for job !! 
  
  
• 1988 : IIT top talent did not prefer Infosys or other mass recruiters of today !! 
• 15 years later the IIT talent who joined out of compulsion were not only millionaires but had amazing exposure in building business
• 2008 : Infosys most aspired for company but people who joined then are struggling !! 

What explains the above?

• Once company becomes big and employs large numbers, many average people make it through
• You may have experienced it first hand that lot of large names did remote tests in which your friends cheated and got selected !! 
• Average people hired before you are your boss 
• They have limited ability to groom or challenge you 
  
  
• Number of new opportunities decrease limiting your learning and growth 
• In 2008 Flipkart only sold books 
• In next 10 years they sold products in most categories
• A 2019 hire will not get an opportunity to start a new category grounds up 
• This limits your learning because now you have to execute the process already laid down without knowing why 

How to identify the right opportunity ?

• mentored by highly capable seniors 
• senior is not 2 or 3 years but at least 7 to 8 year senior to you, ideally 10+ years 
• if they have jumped lesser jobs and work content is good, they will typically be good 
  
  
• Company has growth opportunities or Intellectual property (IP)
• A Zepto can come in and challenge Blinkit or Instamart in big cities because the latter did not have IP but just money and size
• Smaller companies can do many many more things. Google of 2004 had just search but today it has Google Apps, Youtube, Cloud etc

So if you did not get that big brand to join which you dreamt of, be happy. Just search for the right growth opportunity. And for all you know that opportunity may come to you via eLitmus (like this one has come as you have subscribed to eLitmus mails). Let your friends also know how to subscribe to our updates over email or telegram (not more than 2 a month).

Subject: 3 Career mistakes you should know before you begin
To: 

Hi Friend, 

Congratulations !! You will be an engineer now. The wonderful four years of engineering come to an end. 

 

Welcome to the opportunity called Career. 

Does following describe you?

• Ambitious ? 
• Want to grow corporate ladder? 
• Be successful in life ??

We shall over next few mails share career mistakes you should avoid 

Career Myth1 : Change jobs often is key to success

Perceived benefits

• Better salary 
• Growth 
• More learning 

Reality is to the opposite

• Everytime you change jobs, you have to do things from scratch. Be is establish your reputation, learn what companies does etc. While it gives kick because there is new to learn, but remember you are being taught and not learning
• Sticking around means after a while you can focus on getting results rather than being taught and continuously appeasing new boss 

• If you fail to make it senior levels, you will lose out on huge salaries 
• Example Sundar Pichai is worth a billion dollar, his next in command $300+ million and level below that $100 million but equally he has batchmates who are not even worth $ 3billion
• So at junior level what you gain by changing jobs you miss out many times later

Data speaks

• Look at top companies in World or India, not only in IT but across industries
• You will rarely find a CEO who changed more than 1 job in 40 year career!! 

Examples

• Microsoft (Satya Nadella), 
  
• Google (Sundar Pitchai), 
  
• Coca Cola (James Quincey) 
  
• ITC (Sanjiv Puri)
  
• Tata Sons/ TCS (Chandra),
  
• Infosys (Salil Parikh), 
  
• L&T (S. N. Subrahmanyan and previously AM Naik)
  

So what you should do ?

• Do not join the first company which offers you in campus OR because it paid better 
• Keep options open beyond campus 
  
  

• How do keep options open 
• Do register on eLitmus and keep checking the jobs being listed there. Do it now before you start on the first job 
  
  
• Once you are in the job we encourage you to stick around and make a difference 
• You will never get a perfect job but you can be a perfect employee for a company and that is the trick in growth
• If a company can make you grow, it can help others grow too. But not many can make their companies grow !! 

Happy career to you

Register -> take test -> apply to companies -> Get jobs

Hi Friend, 

Telestream is a global giant in providing video technology to most major news giants. It has gone through its crests and troughs globally

But Telesteam India has been an oasis

• Current team evolved from Tektronix's Tek Video
• Average tenure is 7+ years
• Core product work where you work at C++ layer rather than write code on platform where even a below average recruiter can thrive
• Many senior people to get groomed for - many of them been with the company for over a decade

In summary a great place to learn and carry those learnings for life 

To know more and apply : https://www.elitmus.com/jobs/33262

In person drive in Bangalore next week - so you should be willing to travel to Bangalore at short notice 

• Do not have a pH Score ?
• pH Test is the level of filter 
• However if you have great work experience/ offer in a renowned India center of product R&D company you may apply
• Remember to mention your current offer in eLitmus login -> profile -> Work
• If the alternate offer is from a right company, Telestream will sponsor your pH test (keep the mail handy in your mobile where the offer letter from the company had arrived)
• Mass recruiters, GCCs with low bar to get through are not counted. You need to have a good pH Test score compulsorily
