Software Engineer or IAS?😅
So, this might sound crazy to some... I just graduated IIT with a CS degree and landed a sweet gig as a software developer at Microsoft Corporation in Hyderabad. Perks? Amazing. Work-life balance? But lately, there's this itch I can't ignore - the IAS exam keeps calling my name.
Don't get me wrong, this Microsoft life rocks. But there's this fire in me, a desire to serve the country in a bigger way. The IAS feels like the path to make a real difference.
Anyone out there been down this road?😅 Please help.

IAS is only for people who wants to work for public and people not to show off since the selection chance is very less you have to spend at least 2 years full pledged preparation.

So, I got invited for this interview, and they told me to be there at 9 AM. Of course, I get there early, like 8:30, because I don't want to be late. But then I end up waiting for 1.5 hours... read more
