Update from Sgp !!

Guys,

Time for update from my side.

I moved back to Singapore campus and its great to be back. Having lived across the campuses, I think now I am in a position to compare:

- If you are looking for relaxed, good times, go to Singapore.
- If you want to study hard and learn a lot of models and frameworks, go to Fonty.
- If you want the career services to kick ass, then go to Fonty.
- If you want to be in Europe post MBA, go to Fonty. If you want to be in Asia post MBA, go to Singapore.
- If you enjoy looking at trees all day long, go to Fonty.
- If you can either cook your own meal or can survive on donner kebabs then go to Fonty.
- If party for you is about seeing the same people every night out, then go to Fonty.
- If you want to try your luck with new non-MBA women, then go to Singapore.
- If you want to increase your chances of getting laid, go to Fonty.

Yep, that sums it all. Singapore is my favorite campus. This place ROCKS! The atmosphere is lot more relaxed, intimate and there is a positive vibe about this place which is missed big time in Fonty.

On other news, I had my first interview and got dinged. Well I kind of fucked up the interview. Important tip - dont drink too many espressos before an interview. It takes you to turbo boost mode which does not go down well with the interviewers always.

The whole gang of consulting firms is coming on campus next month. Although coming to campus and making offers are two different things. Banks are absent all together. Its no more sexy to say you are from IB.

In terms of job search, its not very promising but lets see what comes out of it. Recruitment freeze is still around in most companies and it sucks to compare the list of companies visiting Fonty vs Singapore. Fonty wins. Singapore career services needs more local folks with years of Asia experience and network.

And finally, an update for David vs Goliath. Its not over yet. I am still in with a chance. I always knew it will be tough but am glad I survived this far. I should have another update on this within 3-4 weeks. I will let you guys know what it was even if I fail. And no, its nothing to do with jobs or women. Although I could potentially get women and jobs if I am successful ;)

And YouTube of the day !
