IITian Employees Meets Non-IITian Employees | The Difference

We delve into the experiences of both IIT and non-IIT employees as they share their perspectives on how their educational background has influenced their careers. With firsthand accounts, they discuss the advantages and challenges they encountered along their professional journeys. Moreover, they ponder the question of whether they would encourage their own children to pursue an IIT education, weighing the pros and cons based on their personal experiences. Join us for a thought-provoking exploration of the IIT versus non-IIT debate, as we uncover diverse perspectives on career growth, financial planning, and parental aspirations.

Interesting conversation ! Less of a IIT / Non-IIT thing, more of a general life and career discussion. Loved the content !

Being at IIT doesn't mean you stop working. Let's be aware of the fact that the compounding advantage only works if you work hard after graduating

[ZubinJames]

Darpan seems like an amazing personality, absolutely hilarious guy. I think that's what IITs do-Personality development.
Loved the video. Bring more content like this.

Started from an unknown college in Uttar Pradesh, but with a great passion in coding since early childhood (not coming from a privileged background so less face-time with computers) completed electrical engineering in 2012 (was pressured into pursuing electrical instead of CS by family because of government job prospects)
Worked for an year 2012-2013 at 2L CTC
Studied to crack GMAT and GATE, did both (2013) but as luck would have it - didn't pursue GATE M. Tech. but enrolled in MBA through GMAT in a Tier 2 college (turns out GMAT requires work experience too, to be more potent). Couldn't take a drop year or continue the job (family pressure). Had offers from good international universities with scholarship but family/relatives scared me into not joining them (cost was too high)
In 2013 enrolled for MBA to finish it in 2015 with an education loan on my head (15L including P+I)
Got placed by college in an awful job but had to take that due to family pressure and loan in 2015 at 5.5L CTC (in Indore)
Didn't like the job so left it in 2 months without telling my family and came to Delhi to take up a dead-end job with Big 4 in 2015 at 3.5L CTC
Worked with Big 4 until 2018, last drawn salary was 4.5 L CTC (had to manage loan + living alone in a city which wasn't my hometown)
In that time, studied my ass off and went back to my passion of computer programming, networked with people and took projects outside of my usual work.
Switched jobs in 2018 to a consulting firm as a data scientists (finally) after 100s of interviews at 9L CTC
That company went bankrupt so had to move to a startup within 6 months (2018) where I worked for less than a year at 7.5L CTC
Moved to a great company in 2019 with all the efforts and the diverse experience I had accumulated (finished my loan) at 10L CTC
Worked my ass off in that company until 2022, left at 25L CTC - created a brand for myself in the market, had meteoric growth. They were ready to retain me at 40L CTC.
Had created a niche for myself in the market when I switched and now sitting in India with $200k (50-50 in-hand + equity) ~ 85L fixed CTC

I am a non-IITian but cracked ISRO. Worked for 7 years and switch to private. Now my words are equivalent or more valuable then IITians for my seniors. Except few people which make me feel that I am non-IITian but one thing i agree is that even now sometimes I have to prove my worth. But this is how world work.

[saurabhzaware]

Oh I love this video. Experience of IIT vs non IIT, mental challenge, investment, behind-the-scenes of hiring etc. Many questions I didn't know I had

[ajay-pzqd]

darpan is funny af, you can see his personality is not restricted to his degree from iit

[gyandasari]

wint I have a video suggestion " Inherited vs Self made crorepati's" do look into the idea

[richajha]

I really appreciate the mature and insightful conversation in this video. It's great to see people from diverse backgrounds coming together to discuss their experiences.❤

[yfgbyuxgbrtuhbreufyu]

Dad funded & dad made vs self made, huge respect for Pedegrees, sorted & achivers & yet humorous & chill because they internally know who's the winner

[harishgupta]

The kids of these people when they grow up and look back at this video is when they are going to realised how much their parents love them.

bro defined my whole life goal. Just leading a happy life for yourself is really easy. But when you have a goal to impact the world, it's really really hard to do and you need a lot of money for that. Some people see me wanting to earn money and they think it's greed, while in reality I need the money for noble pursuits.

[khageshingulkar]

IIT students get about 5 year advantage at graduation - later growth depends on performance.
