Amit Ray's Story
The Journey So Far:
You have to be genius else you are out. In this competitive world you should be very sharp and knowledgeable to be in any field. I faced many difficulties initially but gradually as I became stronger the opponents became weak. I followed this:- When the going gets tough the tough gets going.
Job Profile:
I am working as a nuclear scientist. I am part of a project started by the government. Basically I am in Process Designing and reviewing.
The Decisions That Matter
Not to join the companies that selected me during CAMPUS interviews. Although I was selected in two companies but I didn't join it and as a punishment I lost some precious years of my career. I was struggling but at same time I was trying to keep muself engaged in one or other way.
Career Profile:
Currently I am in Department of Atomic Energy working in Designing and project activities. And previously I was in Reliance Industries and worked their in Design section.
Degrees That Matter:
As such certificates doesn't have value until you have the real knowledge. Writing an exam and getting marks is different than handling a project as a team leader. An average student can do better than a 90% scoring candidate. Try to gain as much knowledge as possible. Certificate is secondary.
Working Life Management:
I do Yoga and Pranayama in the morning hours. This keeps me hale and hearty. I am able to manage many activities at a time.
Done Differently:
Right now I am a Chemical Engineer but if I would get another chance I would join B.E in computer science. I love computers. Its my passion.
Plans For The Future:
I see myself in switzerland. Not settled but on a tour with family. I have a goal to start my own company and have a bank balance of 10 figures. Though I have permanent job as a scientist but my aims are different. I am working day and night to achieve that.
Changes In The Professional Environment:
Bit relaxed I feel. I can independently handle projects now.
Growth Strategy:
Leadership is a quality which only leaders possess. A cat cannot lead tigers. Similarly if you want to lead a team you should be able to guide your team to the right direction. You should be more knowledgeable than them. Spend time with them and remove their weaknesses.
Role Model:
My role model is a person who was a handicap with no legs but still he was able to complete IIT and start his own company. I like his dedication towards study and work Though I dont remember his name but the face is in my heart.
