Could anyone share some practical tips/methods/maneuvers to manage anxiety that results in clouding of consciousness? I can't think straight, only negative thoughts are coming in my mind, I couldn't revise much due to anxiety. The Whatif thing that I could have studied better is killing me. Any insights or words of encouragement would help
Used anki for only long term purposes, my brain is confused as what exactly to do at this 11th hour before exams, dont feel like going through all the cards again. Any tips would be advisable, thanks
I am someone who got a chance of getting cs in the top nit of this country. The median package of that nit is around 30 lpa. My dad didn't allow me to go there cause indian parents feel engineers ki job nahi lagti plus doctor banke gareebo ki sewa karega toh samaaj mei naam kamayega. I am not even exaggerating. Saw tears in the eyes of my mom when I told her I didn't want to do mbbs. Joined a college in Delhi.
One of my friend has gotten at the same place in MECHANICAL. In the same college. He had graduated from there at the age of 22, got placed in a fintech company, recieved a 4lac rs signing bonus and is getting 30 lpa at the age of 25. He has saved a whopping 12 lacs in a year, has been to a trip to china from his company, has an amazing work life balance that you expect in corporate. He has an amazing personality, has a healthy ongoing relationship and he's living his twenties. He has time to pursue his hobbies, goes to a gym. Afterall, he has worked for it during his college days!
Note that this isnt an outlier figure, almost 60-70percent of the batch had placement stats like that, with folks from cs even getting much higher!
I am someone who earned 26k per month during my internship. Used to work 60 hours a week. Scut work. In the dirtiest of the environments. With the worst segment of the population. I used to send my entire stipend to my home, sold my anki decks bit by bit online to buy a laptop. I am 24. I have inicet exam in a week. I am jobless rn, cramming up guidelines and useless criterias that my hospitals will never use. Just so that I can earn ~1lac per month in my residency with inhumane working conditions.
I come from a lower middle class family. Didn't have money to buy books. Didn't have annual trips or fancy outings every weekend. Life has always been tough for me when it comes to finances. My dad was employed in private company with a fixed salary. He did what he could do. It was very unwise for me to choose a career as mbbs where you won't earn that much atleast till early 30s.
Slouching in a chair with a potbelly, i have forgotten what's it like to have hobbies, what's it like to have a normal life without a constant fear of exams. Its interesting to note what my life could have been, while what is it now. Sure my neighbours know ki ye iska beta doctor ban gaya? But beyond that?
Don't pursue this stream if you aren't interested in it. If you are getting alternative career options at good places, go for it. Everyday some optimistic bloke will comment this reddit has largely become an echo chamber for the ranting, but that's absolutely justified when I look at people of the same age from other professions. We have never been paid the way we deserve, this thing is gonna get worse with future influx of huge number of mbbs graduates. The only people who'll be spared from this, would be your 2nd gen doctors, ones with generational wealth and ones with reservation. These three mainly are the ones who comprise the optimistic blokes of our community. The rest shall suffer.
