I am back

My last blog was just after getting placed in Accenture....should say it was a gud company to work with.But its a non-dream job which i needed just for a safety in case i dont get a dream job.I did nt get back to this blogging world coz i was determined to write my next blog only after geting a dream job

Dream job!!!!!!
Uh....Dream job is a job of everyone's dream....As soon as i was placed in Accenture in the very first attempt, i was jumping with confidence to get placed in a dream job but all i got was rejections, disappointments, filled along with some cheap politics and hence some unexpected results until came Symantec, the job of my dreams to recognize my skills and recruit me.
I will blog on the entire details about getting placed in Symantec in a separate blog which would be pleasant and happy one,in this blog i will be writing about all bitter experiences which where on my pathway to Symantec.And about all those failures which were stepping stones to my success

Well let me begin right after Accenture placements...I was back to normal work at Aricent...was giving final touches to my internship project,it was July 3 and i was to finish off my internship on July 8th coz Dream jobs were coming after that

Some how on July 8th everything got over and i returned my Aricent ID card and came back

3 rejections in a row :(
Dream jobs start..... I dont remember the exact dates of the companies .....i should say lots of companies were coming this year....
It started off as usual with Deshaw and as usual IT topper[which is mostly a girl] from MIT would be placed in it......SURPRISE...it was kutti senior our Sandol,the guys topper of IT got placed....next came Microsoft....In both these companies i was not even shortlisted,...our ka praveen got shortlisted in Microsoft alongwith and Gokul....Google intern Sidharth go placed in it frm MIT....then i decided due to internships i did nt hav enuf preparations....so i need to start preparing and i did nt attend the next companies which included Commvault,Exeter,Thoughtworks[all had 5 lakh pay]......then came Informatica(7.2 lakhs)....again it was disappointing to not get shortlisted in it too......

3 Shortlists came for a relief
Amidst these 3 rejections there came few other companies which i skipped which included Cisco(7.2 lakhs),HP(4.8 lakhs)...btw Cisco had recruited 22 last year from both CEG and MIT......many attended it with gr8 hopes and to their disappointment it recruited only 3.This was when i started to fear.....last year it was abundant dream job offers and this year i think the IT industry is on for a gr8 slide and it eventually happened as the GREAT RECESSION in september....
So the next dream after informatica was Global Scholar(chennai based with package of 8.5 lakhs)....got shortlisted for the first time and was rejected in 1st round.....anyway no one can reach the top in jus the first leap....but i was asingapaduthified in the interview slightly....its my fault i had nt prepared well for interview.......my aim all these days was to get shortlisted....i achieved it now hav to start my preparations for interviews....then suddenly chronus came....its a not-so-good company with package of 5 lakhs,and workload of 17 hours being a start-up....i was shortlisted in that too ,had my interview at 9:30 at night and was rejected in the 2nd round.....IBM which had been reported to be non-dream came as a dream(6.0 lakhs)....v came to know after reaching college....rushed from college to ceg.....traffic jam at pallavaram due to Sonia Gandhi coming...got train and reached CEG by 11:30 and wrote test ....again got shortlisted alongwith Raghavan and Gowri....i was rejected in the 1st round with jus 3 questions asked......Gowri got placed in IBM
And amidst this some other companies which i skipped include mu-sigma,starent(in which Raghavan got placed)
Yahoo had said they wud come but later cancelled

3 Unexpected twists in the tale
Then came Oracle in which my senior Meenakshi was placed....Would have been happy if i had to become her junior again in Oracle....But it was a different kinda test....an online test.....rejected in it......Lalitha got placed in consultancy and Revathy & Divya got placed in Server Tech....The next beating came from Google....No MITian was allowed to write written test......the reason v came to know after the issue became big......some1 had uploaded their resume in google website.....and VC had fight with them and google was sent back......
Then i skipped photon infotech reading about their worst work culture and experience frm their employees.....Next came Nortel.....reached late for test jus 20 questions got 12 correct was shortlisted for interview....Cleared the C round.....Cleared the N/W round......and attended the HR.......results wud be announced on Monday(Nov 3rd).....Ashwant,Bubly Praveen,Gokul,Soundarya Bala got placed in photon.....Srivatsan and Better Sathish got placed in Nortel.......Me,joe and RN vinodh were rejected by nortel.......

Suddenly came Symantec on Nov 5th..we were informed the package is 5.5
