No IIT or IIM degrees. How a 22-year-old bagged a Rs 1 crore-plus job after 300 rejections
No IIT or IIM degree or any fancy finance MBA in his kitty, and yet this fresh college graduate has landed a job opportunity most can only dream of—a quant trader role that came with a salary of Rs 1 crore! Taking to the Indian Flex subreddit, the techie shared his journey from being an average student at a tier 3 engineering college to landing one of the most coveted positions in the finance world. Academic Struggles and Strategic Choices This young achiever pursued electrical engineering from a relatively unknown, tier-3 engineering college . He didn't boast a high GPA or any top-tier academic credentials. In fact, his early academic journey was marked by average performance and even a couple of backlogs. After not getting into computer science through JEE, he strategically opted for electrical engineering, as it still offered access to analytical and computational subjects. Despite the setbacks, he pushed through with determination.

While others around him might have been unaware of the world of trading and markets, he found himself increasingly curious about how money moves, how deals are structured, and what drives financial markets. Though he wasn't in a conventional finance program, his hunger to understand this world only grew stronger with time. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like 15 most beautiful women in the world Undo From Campus Placement to Turning Point He initially secured a decent job offer from a multinational company through campus placements, with a salary of around Rs 7.5 lakh per year. The offer was set to begin the very next day, but he made a bold decision—he declined it. His heart was set on quantitative finance. He wasn't looking for stability; he was chasing passion. Hundreds of Rejections, One Breakthrough Over the months, he applied to more than 300 internships, often hearing nothing back or receiving rejections. Undeterred, he taught himself skills like financial modeling and company valuation and worked on personal finance projects. Eventually, he managed to land an internship in quant research , a pivotal opportunity that changed the trajectory of his life. Landing the Dream Role After working several part-time roles and facing hundreds of full-time job rejections, his persistence finally paid off. A London-based high-frequency trading firm offered him a full-time role with a total compensation exceeding Rs 1 crore—including Rs 72 lakh in-hand salary, a performance-based bonus, and profit-sharing. No Privilege, Just Perseverance Without industry contacts or elite credentials, what propelled him forward was a constant thirst to learn, the ability to bounce back from failure, and an unwavering belief in himself. His journey stands as a testament to how resilience, self-education, and passion can break through even the highest barriers.

Sirsa inspects Norway plant to model Delhi's first e-waste park on ‘best practices'
Delhi environment and industries minister Manjinder Singh Sirsa on Monday visited an e-waste processing facility in Revetal, Norway, as part of a technical study to incorporate international best practices into Delhi's upcoming e-waste park in Holambi Kalan. Delhi environment and industries minister Manjinder Singh Sirsa at the Norway plant. (HT Photo) The ₹150-crore facility planned by the Delhi government is touted as India's first e-waste park and will have the capacity to process 51,000 metric tonnes of electronic waste annually. Officials said the eco park, to be built under the Public Private Partnership (PPP) model, will cater to all 106 categories of e-waste listed in the E-Waste (Management) Rules, 2022, and is projected to generate over ₹350 crore in revenue and create thousands of jobs. Sirsa, who holds dual portfolios, said the project will reflect Delhi's commitment to integrated progress. 'As both the Environment Minister and the Industries Minister of Delhi, I will not allow either to suffer because of the other. Our goal is integrated progress, where clean industry fuels economic growth and safeguards the environment,' he said. During the visit, Sirsa conducted a detailed technical inspection of the plant, run by Norwegian company REVAC. He interacted with senior engineers and operations heads to understand dismantling, segregation, and material recovery systems at the facility. REVAC's plant was selected for the visit due to its annual processing capacity of approximately 110,000 metric tonnes and its internationally recognised environmental practices. 'The terrain and climate conditions of Revetal are similar to Holambi Kalan. That makes this comparison meaningful from a design and operational standpoint,' said Sirsa.
