Great Lakes - Updates
Updates from Vijay
Extended absence attributed to assignments and bad health.
It has been a while since I wrote something about our college. Term II has been lighter in terms of classes and hectic in terms of assignments and non class learnings. This term we had Financial Management , OB, Market Research, MicroEconomics, and Chinese. The term is almost over and time flies really fast.
We had a good presentation on our Market Research project. The concept was about the a value added service in a coffee pub. We learnt a lot about the perceptions of people during the course of this project.
All our seniors have been placed and we expect the same when we sit for placements in about 7 to 8 months from now. Our curriculum needs us to specialise in two disciplines. One major and one minor. I intend to major in Finance and have marketing as my minor. Crisil is offering three courses in the specialisation phase.
And yesterday we had a presentation by Deloittee on 'Careers in Deloittee'.
And our beloved Uncle Bala is here and he will be handling ManAc for us. He addressed the batch yesterday. People are destined to be motivated when they hear him. We also have a couple of Guest leactures in pipe line. And want to know who the speakers are ??
Mr Vivek Paul and Dr Jagdish Seth (remember Power of 3 ??). We had a Guest lecture by Dr YV Reddy (yes, Governor of RBI) last week and Deepak Jain (Kellogg School of Mngt) will address us next month.
So, lots happening at Great Lakes and we are confident that we will rise and shine in the corporate world.

My roomie works there, they're a great name to have on the resume but don't pay all that well for freshers. Unless you're an analyst ofcourse. But then if you are an analyst, you can get paid oodles of money just about anywhere.
For instance, you don't even hit the minimum $100k mark for quite a while, and they have a practice of an employee appraisal/turnover every three years for about 1/3rd of the folks.
Contrast this with several other consulting firms, which pay a lot more and are a lot more stable.
Deloitte is a good stepping stone, but don't consider it as a final destination unless you're willing to put in a lot of work to climb up really, really fast.
