I was oozing with confidence after completing #ca (1st attempt) with an AIR 34.
I got a call for my 1st interview. I was confident enough to crack the interview & come home with an offer letter!
I waited for my turn at the venue with both eagerness and anxiety.
As I went inside the interview room, I saw a team of 5 interviewers ready to grill me
OMG the 5 panelists were specialists from their respective domains & I realised I would have a rough time.
I was asked how I would leverage my Rank. I said “I would like to capitalise on my rank” & next 20 mins I was bombarded with ONLY accounting questions. Phew!
The next question was “Define Debt Trap” & I did a good job as I was able to answer it. Self kudos
The next question & answer I would never forget in my entire life.
The interviewer asked me to tell India’s exact amount of debt trap. There was pin drop silence in the room & after a few seconds of thinking I said “Dear Sir leave aside the thought of actual debt trap, I do not even know the approximate”. I got REJECTED!
When I look back to think today that 1st rejection grounded me & made me more determined to find my way through the maze.
