Getting out of the comfort zone

June 19th @ XLRI
A call which had to be taken, was taken.Getting into XL was difficult , once the hurdle was cleared the greater diffculty lay in tackling an existential question of whether to quit a comfortable lifestyle and a successful career ( reasonably so ,very humbly) and take the plunge.

A rather intimidating question for the newly married's and for one of us who was about to take a five day leave in the middle of the programme to get married.

Even this could not flinch people and now we have a group of guys with an average experience of 84 months, with as diverse profiles as you could possibly imagine. We do have professionals from PSUs and IT . We also have CA's, Ex defence personnel , scientists and hold on - a Jesuit Father on board with us. Also need to mention the women partcipants who are managing quants and their kids with amazing ease. And for once average figures not to be taken with a pinch of salt, in Team GMP there are no outliers.
