🧠INSIGHTS
Viram had a lot of insights and some amazing recommendations. Here are our favorite insights from the episode.
🤔 Why everyone should work a fast-paced job at the start of your career? - Viram talks about his job at J. P. Morgan where he was working crazy hours. But he said it was an important experience; his exposure to a fast-paced company culture helped him with his MBA program
🎓The application process for an MBA in the US? - Viram talked at length about his MBA process. In his first year, his application didn’t get selected in any of the colleges.
Here are some of the lessons he shared - finding out what’s wrong and correcting your application mistakes, applying to colleges that you want and align with you instead of spray-painting your applications, and most important of all, telling a story in your application!
👨💼Advice for all budding entrepreneurs - One piece of advice that Viram shared that is applicable to all the budding entrepreneurs (everyone actually) is that test before you invest. If you have an idea - test the waters, see if you see any ripples.
