@dgreatvijay @ashwini215 @LODHA @lodha_thane I am in the same boat- is there any resolution now?

[Jitesh Phulwani @Xecuter101]

@ravihanda Not sure about your exact needs, but the GLA feels overpriced—small engine, tight space, and mostly paying for the badge. CLA is a better pick if going Merc (generally more reliable among Germans). My personal fav - X1/X3 for drive. Also consider the XC40 (if available)

@KushalVijay_ IITB released a post here.

[IIT Bombay @iitbombay]

Lately there has been news that over 30% of IITB students do not get jobs! An exit survey among graduating students in 2022-23 says only 6.1% are still looking for jobs. Here is the survey result for you to decide...

Retention Strategy

[Shreyas Doshi @shreyas]

The most important career lesson to internalize after 10-15 years in tech is to make very intentional career choices, based on

1) what kind of life you want to create

2) your superpowers

3) what type of work energizes you

4) what type of people you love working with

You would think that folks with great titles who are managing massive orgs must be making very intentional career decisions.

But you’d be surprised by the degree to which many folks’ career choices are just driven by the tendency to follow the most attractive career path that their peers are following, and then justifying taking that path with logic after the fact.

This is mimetic desire at work, along with conformity bias.

Some other folks make their career decisions primarily based on what is easiest in the moment, with the chief goal of avoiding any and all discomfort. They always find a great logical explanation for their choice after the fact.

This is known as the affect heuristic, basically a form of confirmation bias.

So here’s the surprising thing:

When you make your career decisions with sincere intent i.e. based on a thoughtful, drama-free assessment of the 4 factors I listed above, you might end up making very different choices than the vast majority of your peers who have similar experience & capability.

And as you make more intentional career choices, you will feel strange at first.

Some well-meaning “mentors” will even urge you to reconsider your choices. And by all means you should be open to feedback. But only if the mentor has actually taken the time to ask you about your preferences for the 4 factors above. If they haven‘t, and they are still dispensing career advice, it is likely that your mentor is also following the herd without being aware of it. Such is the power of the herd.

The beauty of this approach is that your intentional career choices will compound.

You will do better work than you‘re used to doing. You will feel more connection to your work than you ever did. You might still have some tough times work-wise, but you won‘t be as fazed by them because you know The Why behind your actions.

And lastly, once you have seen the power of intent once, you will feel more confident & courageous when making your next career decision with intent.

You are now playing a game you can master, a game you‘ve chosen to play on your own terms — even as most of your peers remain confused for decades about what game they are even playing & about why you seem so serene as you play yours 😎

I’m gonna give 10 random people that repost this and follow me $25,000 for fun (the $250,000 my X video made)

@ABiggerSpalash @ABiggerSpalash totally agree! Managing an event of this scale by 19-20-year-old students comes with hits & misses. It's a massive learning curve, & artists' reactions vary. Some understand, others not so much. Overall, an invaluable experience for me as well in 2 years!

@ravihanda Going by my wife’s experience: If you can’t be regular with charging (once every 1-2 days), then I’d say no. You will never find it charged whenever you need it.
