Hello Fellow Rodinhooders,
I come here to seek advice and ASK something that has been perturbing me for the past many months.I will put it in bullets so that its easy to understand my predicament.
1) I am employed as an engineer in a good for nothing PSU having learnt nothing but how to sit and just stare at things being done the “usual” way.But fortunately for me Rodinhoods gave me the impetus to decide to take the plunge. thereafter, i have had a meetup at Kolkata with budding entrepreneurs all in ventures less than an year old. I also had a hangout session with Mr. Sameer Guglani of Morpheus and thus I understood that this is what I want to do and do not fear failure.I am employed in a remote place and its an overnight journey to Kolkata.
2) Unfortunately,soon I realise that Kolkata is not the happening place at all even though a metro(also was advised by some business people there). There’s just not enough traction as compared to other metros and some tier 2 cities. So I get an interview arranged for myself in a big consultancy firm in Pune.However , I am facing it with zero years of experience just because I don’t want to waste my savings on the bond amount that I would have to pay if I leave my job now. If i pay the bond , I am left with negligible money to start with my ideas.
So here I am facing a ditch and behind me is a well. What would be the most intelligent decision here? Some have suggested to be in this less tasking remote place job and implement ideas from here bu they don’t understand that I just can;t always connect with people in Hyderabad ,Delhi and Bangalore just on the net. On the other hand, should I join the more tasking consultancy job, I may be busy but i have this problem sorted out.
P.S I have my interview two days later

Ananta,
I Understand your Predicament when You said You would BULLET them out and you Numbered them 🙂
This is something we all do at sometime in Our Lives, so you are not away from your DREAM too likewise!!
First is Find out what Intrigues and Moves You to Do something Close to your Heart and You can Do it 24 Hours 365 days a year if Provisioned too, that would become the Base for your Passion to Stay on Ground ROOTED. If required find out and connect with a Mentor appropriately who can help you clarify these confusing Dilemmas too along with guidance in your related Chosen Field of Interest and Work accordingly as well too.
Once You know this Don’t Think with Your Normal Brain on the Shoulders, Think from the GUT and Dive in with Preparation and Planning so You know what comes NEXT, Big would eventually follow as well too if You keep the Perseverance and Stay Committed 🙂
Get in touch with Some of the Wonderful RH’s from Kolkata and meet them up if possible over the next few days as scheduled per your Time availability, you can also connect with Tier2 Cities Nearby Kolkata maybe Guwahati, Odisha, Assam or others as well too and See if you can solve a pain point or help make things better already serving their purpose if not reinventing the wheel maybe collaborate with some one near to your Field of Interest and Work with them together towards a common Goal if Agreed!!

Kolkata E-Rendezvous
This would be something which You yourself should Decide, rather than Some one else Suggesting anything with this regards, since you are the Best to Know about Yourself!
Hope this Helps!
Stay Yourself, the Best would Happen Eventually!! Cheers!!!
