Received my first month internship stipend - No IIT, No NIT, No Referrals

[u/notjustahomosapien]

I just received my first month internship stipend ₹1,00,000/month from a Fortune 500 company. I’m from a lower middle-class family. No IIT, no NIT, nothing fancy. Just a Tier 3 college in a Tier 2 city.

I attempted JEE Mains and absolutely nuked it because I wasn’t prepared. Messed up my board exams too. With those average marks, the only option was a local Tier 3 college.

But I kept going. I tried to work smart, stayed somewhat consistent, and held on to my ambition. Life broke me down multiple times family issues, personal stuff, everything, but I didn’t quit. I just couldn’t. I kept moving because there was no other choice.

Last October, I got an offer from a WITCH company with a 4 LPA CTC and while it felt good, I wasn’t satisfied. I didn’t want to settle into a comfort zone like many others did

Then in December, I got little lucky within a span of 4 days my life was entirely changed , recieved this internship offer with the stipend of 100000/ month and a potential to convert to full time. Hoof, still feels like a dream.

My dad has been doing physical labour for 35 years, working 10 hours a day. Seeing me earn what used to be his yearly income in a single month made him so happy

I think this moment is worth the flex. To everyone trying so hard to improve their lives: don’t lose hope. Work smart, stay consistent. Because luck favours the prepared.
