Corporate Life - Expectation and Reality

1 - Expectation

A great package & Now I can spend a lot on branded clothes & food.

Reality

No fun of having these without friends. You can't actually show off cK, USPA,Arrow in front of friends. Never enjoyed food in 7-Star or 5-Stars. Rather enjoyed a lot during B.TECH time at roadside having just 30–40 bucks in pocket or having 130/- econo meal in Mcd once a month along with all friends.

2 - Expectation

New bike in just 3 months. Full fun.

Reality

Got the same. But nobody was there on backseat to sing stupid songs with stupid lyrics. Missed the activa bike rides of university.

3 - Expectation

Brand new co's laptop & co's mobile with great postpaid plans, unlimited internet data.

Reality

Now i7 , 8GB RAM, 1TB HDD, 2GB NVIDIA GC, 2 in 1, is just being used for SQL, PPT & EXCEL. No time to call friends. Out of 100GB 4G data hardly 2–3 GB is being used monthly. Survival on 1GB 2G was the best part of life during university.

4 - Expectation

Excel in core field.

Reality

Excel in MS-EXCEL only.

5 - Expectation

Now I have a job & after 1 year I'll propose my university crush.

Reality

She is already a mother of 1 month child now.

6 - Expectation

Own cabin, A.C installed, free meals, free coffee etc etc.

Reality

Got fatty, instead of 6packs got family pack. Gained 14kg in 2 years & now trying to shed like anything.

7 - Expectation

Corporate parties.

Reality

Staying silent & having a glass of beer in formals is actually weird. Having 2 beer & 5 friends during university was the best part of life.
