IIT Delhi had 1,200 offers while IIT Kanpur had 1,109 offers, a record placement season

Microsoft, Google, BCG, McKinsey all recruited, 80 got global offers after a lot of chatter last year on 30% IITians being unplaced.

Baby IITs might still be struggling a bit, but it'll get better with time for sure.

So whoever was trolling IITs last year, I hope you are studying for JEE this year!

IITs remain India's biggest Job enabler in current scenario!

Supporting each other through the ups and downs of work life

Day to Day Office

I’ve been working at a startup since 2018. We were in a temporary office on the outskirts of the city, but now we’re shifting to a prime location. The problem? We’ll have to pay for parking an extra ₹80K-₹1.3L per year.

It’s not a huge amount, and I can manage it, but it still feels like a sneaky pay cut. During the temp phase, we had free parking, which made it seem like parking would be covered permanently. Now, that’s not the case.

Should I ask for a raise to offset this cost? If yes, how do I frame the request without sounding petty? Would love to hear your thoughts! 🚦😕

Hi everyone, I’ve been working in Accounts Receivable (AR) for 3 years and am currently pursuing CMA US. I want to transition into core finance roles like financial analysis, FP&A, or corporate finance. Would love to hear from those who’ve made a similar switch—what roles should I target, what salary can I expect, and which companies are good for this move? Any advice or experiences would be really helpful. Thanks in advance!

I'm starting my backend journey with javascript but I'm hearing from many people that start with Java springboot.

Can you guys please navigate me from this.

Backend

I’m in a bit of a tricky situation and could use some advice. My boss is supportive, kind, and overall a great person to work for. Recently, he asked if I could occasionally drop his wife off on my way home since their house is along my route. He also mentioned that I could leave a bit earlier to accommodate this, which is a nice bonus.

While I don’t mind helping out, I’m torn about the personal aspect of it. On one hand, it’s a small favor, and he’s been really supportive of me, but I’m unsure if this might blur any professional boundaries.

What’s your take? Should I keep helping with the rides, or is this something I should reconsider to maintain a clear work-life balance?
