College to Corporate

The transition from college to corporate is drastic and expanded. 

It has changed me the way I behave and the opinions I used to have. There are different corporate cultures and I would like to give only that I have experienced.

The first thing that I am impressed and happy about was the security people. I am really scared and disliked those security in my college. They felt like that they had power over us. In contrast the people here greeted me. During the initial days I used to laugh and then it had been my pleasure to greet them back. In a way, I felt free that no one is pushing me here. You could relate me only if you have frightening security who would threaten you saying, “I won’t allow you until you get permission from HOD/Dean”.

The second change is that we don’t need to write down anything. In a way it is like a paperless environment. You don’t write letters to get permission for anything, we e-mail things. I know that pain in going around my associate dean for permission for literally everything.

The third change is that you don’t study overnight, you study daily. For some it might be painful task but think in a perspective that you are going to research now. It feels awesome to have no boundaries. No, you don’t have out-of-syllabus concept. You need to look nook and corner to know the stuff you are going to build upon.

Although you would miss those breaks and lunch with your friends and having that big noise outside the class and the low-cost canteen food, you have a different environment here in corporate life. Everyone would be friendly with you.

P.S: These are particularly my views as an experience being in corporate and doesn't reflect as an AVNET employee. This is not a PR.
