Hi All,

Honestly I am nervous, I have no idea why. This is my first CAT exam.

I know everyone plans a path for preparation which suits them but there are something common in all.

Can any one help, how to head, ahead. Which books to start with and how to evaluate oneself from time to time.

Thanks

Hi Guys....here's another guy fighting his fate to come out of the <snipped> s/w life.
Preparing for My first attempt in CAT....CAT 08.
Thinking of breaking the two years bond that i signed with Satyam way back in OCT 2006...cause its really not giving any space to prepare.
I have already got a work experience certi untill now.
Any Ideas...what happens if i dont formally resign and just break the bond?
is the work ex certi all that we need to produce for showing relevant work ex???
Plz comment..as i am planning to take a long vacation stating health grounds and face whatever happens next...
Its well and good if da consequence is that i am asked to put my papers.
What i fear is sacking...will that leave a scar on my resume???
fearing that possibility i have obtained teh work ex certi to prove my work ex.
Am really depressed with the way this career is building up for me. No matter how much i learn and contribute...i honestly am not interested in this and moreover things are shaping up badly for me.


PLZ COMMENT>>>>waiting for u PALS to guide me

First of all, don't use abusive language of any sort, even if it's hidden as *.

Coming to your problem, getting sacked is indeed a big issue and no college will take this lightly. Unless and until you have a VERY GOOD reason to support your claim, they are very likely to hold you responsible.

Also, just walking out on a job without informing is something that I won't advise you to do. There may be legal hassles that you may get dragged into. Normally companies don't follow that route but who knows, you might be the unlucky one and they might sue you to get the money that you should pay them in case you break the bond.

I would suggest you to work till you finish with your bond period (which I guess is of 2 yrs. in Satyam) and simultaneously prepare for CAT. Although it's easier said than done but many have done it, including yours truly, and you can do it as well. It's not a big deal at all. Only thing is, you need to make time for study.

But if you're hellbent on leaving, I would suggest you to pay off the bond rather than walking out altogether. There may just be a 5 % chance that the company may come looking after you (to sue) but there's a chance nevertheless. If that goes against you, your career will head in a completely wrong direction altogether and that might become a problem in your career as nowadays, most recruiters confirm with your old employers about you.

I could only advise you on this front but you have to take a decision. You can choose either way but think long and hard before taking up any choice.

All the very best....

hi!
I can understand what you are going through right now........but just a few words from my end, and from my first hand experience.....

1. Dont take leave from job to prepare for the exam....be it any exam......because sooner or later you will lose the enthu and get back to your own style of killing time. You can maintain the tempo for a few weeks, but later you will chillax big time. So never ever think of taking leave from office to study.....it has never happened. You might think about this option when there is a month or so left for the exam.

2. Since you have some commitments to your current organization, so I would suggest that you finish the term and then only think of leaving the organization......else you wont get the work-ex certificate as well as it could look as a spot on your career. So leave the job only when you are done with the bond period.

3. Time Management!!!!!.........if you can't do this right now, how will you do the same when you are into some B-School? So whatever is possible do it right now....it will only make you a better prepared manager later.....

just keep the hopes alive....and keep working for it....you will surely get it.....

tension lene ka nahin.....sirf dene ka!!!!!

if you all are looking for some exciting daily-practice kind of material related to CAT then this site should be enough for you..... CAT4MBA | incites MBA | One STOP 4 ALL MBA Stuffs ....I guess the resource is more than enough for day-to-day practice.
