8th July - Random

I have written my 7th July journal! It is a super long ass bitching session where I complain about every single fight I have had with Musti this week.

Also, hello. Today is a monumental day - because today is the day I put in my papers at McKinsey. I have sent it out, guys. I don't have another job offer in hand, but I have sent it out anyway. I just have spent so long not liking what I had, it made sense to give a shot searching for jobs elsewhere.

I felt very numb after doing it - I mean, I spent so much time planning for it, it wasn't a spontaneous action at all. I do have a pretty decent pipeline, and I think I do have it in me to be amongst the top 10% applicants wherever I go.

However, I spoke to someone not in McKinsey, and I noticed the following:

Immediate admiration 10x increase after knowing I'm from McK
Admiration for the job - it is really cool, right?

But here I am, just hating what I do on a day to day, haha.

I have also attempted building out apps on no-code tools today. For some reason, it seemed like it would be very simple, but it wasn't.

13th Feb

I am feeling very overwhelmed by my work. It seems like a never ending pit of tasks to do. No matter what i do to figure it out, it is still pending. More and more and more. I cannot seem to reach any conclusion. Perhaps this is because it is such menial, manual work. Perhaps because it is the extent of operationalizing everything. This is painful. But I know what I need to…

28th Jan - facing the very real possibility of what I thought would be “impossible”

Maybe this is a lesson in never taking anything for granted. I’m not even sure why and how we’ve landed at this place, but we have. Questioning the foundation of something I never thought I’d need to question. Because this was the axiom upon which everything was built. But I guess, here we are. Time to wait and see what is to be said. Feels like the ball in your court. I’m…

27th Jan 23 - Conversations with Appu

By age 27, all of us have become scarred by our experiences to some extent. I can see that most of us have done things that we regret, have reacted in ways that we shall not anymore, now that we are stronger, better wiser. Is part of growing up also just learning to make peace with past mistakes and past regrets? I was having a conversation with Appu today. To rant and to…
