And to be honest, I can't help but agree with their statement too. Job market is down, companies aren't exactly on a hiring frenzy, so I guess if you have a second lower, you really have to knock on the doors considerably harder than those with a second upper/first have to. |
Congrats, learn as much as possible. You are lucky to have landed the role in this market condition. I was a second lower too, but that was 4 years ago. I started at a bank too, not MAP. Now at a top company in the industry. Honestly I have never expected myself to have reached so far. So all not are lost. The moment you get the Ist job, your results will not matter 3 to 5 years down the road. People wont bother about them anymore, perhaps maybe for govt sector.
