I measured the zero character of the typeface Univers (get it? universe…) at 12 pt which is 1.97 mm wide and 3.04 mm tall. The thickness of ink on paper is around 10 µm (0.00001 mm). Let's disregard the paper, because it's more interesting that way. The total volume of one 12 pt Univers zero is then:1.97 × 3.04 × 0.00001 = 0.000059888 mm³, or 5.9888[math]^{−14}[/math] m³As I will make no assumptions about the size of the entire universe, I will go with the observable universe, which is estimated to have a comoving distance of 46,6 billion light-years, putting the diameter at 93.2 billion light-years. The total volume of this space is 3.58 × 10^[math]{80}[/math] m³.Thus, the amount of 12pt Univers zeroes needed to fill the volume of the universe is: [math]\frac {3.58 × 10^{80}} {5.9888^{−14}} = 2.7330… × 10^{91}[/math]Now let’s calculate how many 12 pt Univers zeroes printed on paper will fit into the universe. Regular printing paper has a standardized thickness of 0.1 mm. The volume of one 12 pt Univers zero including paper (of the same width and height as the zero) is:1.97 × 3.04 × 0.10001 = 0.5989398888 mm³, or 5.989398888[math]^{−10}[/math] m³Thus, the amount of 12 pt Univers zeroes printed on paper needed to fill the volume of the universe is: [math]\frac {3.58 × 10^{80}} {5.989398888^{−10}}[/math] = 2.1267… × 10[math]^{88}[/math]That’s 21 octovigintillion 267 septenvigintillion 12 pt Univers zeroes!For comparison, the number of particles (protons, neutrons and electrons) in the observable universe is estimated to be around 10[math]^{80}[/math]. This means that to fill the volume of the observable universe, there will be 1.84 × 10[math]^{40}[/math] times as many 12 pt Univers zeroes (excluding paper) than there are particles in the universe. This equals an increase of roughly 2.73 × 10[math]^{13}[/math]%.But of course the particles enjoy a lot of empty space, whereas in case of the 12 pt Univers zeroes, space is completely packed (except for the counter space and negative space), the mass of which will collapse into an “ultramassive” black hole provided the process isn’t halted by radiation pressure.

How to be amazing at everything you do, and make amazing possible.This recipe for success comes from Elon Musk. It is the most hardcore recipe, and is certainly nowhere close to be called “easy”, but if one was to follow this, they would beat anyone and everyone around them. One would solve the best problems of all times and would walk an entirely different pathway to success. The formula sounds simple – work 14-16 hours a day. But this is the most difficult formula of all times. There is absolutely no beating around the bush. Period.Below are the barriers one would hit as they would attempt this recipe for success.The first barrier one hits is ~ BiologicalThe pain of working more hours in a day does not go up linearly with time. It goes up exponentially with time. Elon Musk admits this himself, but he keeps going. For a normal person, this is not impossible but it is certainly extremely difficult. You are not just testing your physical capabilities, but also mental capabilities, emotional capabilities to handle stress for those long hours, and more than that you are separating yourself from friends and family. There is even a saying in the startup world ~ Want to run a successful startup? Work, Sleep, Family, fitness or Friends: Choose any three.Biologically, this is achievable. Think about the times when you are partying with friends. You can be awake for long hours without feeling bad about it. You certainly would be a little tired later, but you easily pull it off. The reason is not that the activities don’t require physical work, or mental work, but it is because you “love” to do those activities. The reason you don’t want to work for 16 hours a day is because you do not love your work.Elon loves his work, and he tells this formula.Practice managing cortisol: The second aspect of this is that when you are with friends, your body gets a rush of serotonin whereas when you are at work, your body gets a rush of cortisol. To adapt biologically to achieve anything that has to do with ~ 16 hours of work per day, one has to embrace a very good response about cortisol rush.Look to the solution:And there is a hard but possible way to do it. No matter what the situation is, you have to look at the situation from the point of view of engineering problem, and deriving an engineering solution.If you were given the same problem to solve when you had all the time in the world, vs when you have been given the task to solve when you have only an hour to solve it the difference would be that the latter builds stress – sometimes an enormous amount of stress.Calibrate each task: Learn to get more efficient at embracing stress. To do this, “calibrate each task”. Think about a simple situation: You head out of your home to catch a flight, and you are stuck in traffic. Your stress level increases very quickly. If you were to calibrate this, and say – no matter what the traffic conditions are, no matter what the weather is – the journey to the airport from my home takes ~ 35 mins. Then if you take ~ 55 minutes in hands and travel accordingly you cannot be stressed out.Do not stress: Most efficient people do not stress about a problem. They just identify it quickly, plan a good solution, and work on the solution. Their stress level remains low enough, and therefore they are able to make this a habit.Do not let others get stressed out: When one person in the team panics, many others panic. It is very important to keep a very cool temperament when stressful situations arise. If a soccer team coordinates well, while keeping a cool temperament, they can win a match with one fewer player. But if one player demoralizes the whole team, they would never win a match.The best of the best team players, do not lose temper, and do not let others lose their temper too.Simple answer: Calibrate. Keep cool. Practice. Do not stress.The second barrier one would hit is ergonomic barrier:Probably there are still a lot of safety and ergonomic caveats that must be thought about while working 16 hours a day.Elon doesn’t mention his formula, but it is clear that he takes care of this.Take enough breaks, drink enough water, eat balanced diet, and do not just eat anything and everything.Take at least 7 hours of sleep, and if possible, try to put at least 15 to 30 minutes in workout.Make every activity ergonomically correct. Marathons are not ran with incorrect shoes, or incorrect stepping. Correct those first, then build your way upward.Simple answer: Be fit, take rest, and exercise.The third barrier one would hit is ~ psychological:This barrier simply means that you would be faced with situations where you are doing what you are not liking, and it becomes very hard to work on it. There is probably no way around it but to approach this problem systematically. There exist systematic steps one must take to resolve the problems.Elon’s formula is ~ Love your work. If you are constantly on a hot seat, and you are the root-cause behind every problem, something is not right, and you must make a change.Make your work likable: If your work was your favorite thing to do, you could do it endlessly. Think about your favorite activity to do, which can be making a painting, playing piano, shopping, and so on. If the activity is fun, you can do it for long hours.Automate: To make work fun, make the tasks you do not like easy to do, and as brainless as possible, so that a computer program can do them.Train and delegate: Often, there is a bucket of work to be done, but one might like only a few things out of the bucket, whereas someone in your group may be a person who is capable of taking care of the other things. It is often better to sort the buckets first and divide the tasks so that there is a one to one match between personal choices and tasks.You are your own savior: Your supervisor will not do this for you. Some supervisors are very capable of doing this, and will do it too, but all in all, you are the best judge of your own problems and you must solve those yourself.Simple answer: like your work, and make it better yourself.The forth barrier one hits is boredom:No matter what you do, and no matter how much you like to do it, if you are only doing menial tasks, then you would certainly get bored of them in long run. You must continually work on things that improve your work.Elon’s formula is - Always focus on signal vs noise.Signal vs noise: When you work on signal, that is, the problem which will solve bigger issues, you would always have better problems to work on, and better temperament to solve them. Those who have interesting problems to work on never get bored, and continue to work on them nonstop.A simple example could be this: Customers come to my shop, and I make them fill up a form.Because they need constant assistance, I have to work hard to keep up with them.Can I build an electronic form so that when they book an appointment with me – they can already fill up this form? If the answer to this question is yes, this is like working on a signal. Whereas assisting each customer to fill up every detail on the form one after the other is like working on the noise.Soon when your customers get trained to fill up the form, and fill them up accurately, you would have to do less and less of this noisy work.Simple answer: Focus on signal vs noise.The fifth barrier one would hit is the core:What usually happens is that the most interesting problems to solve are actually the ones that need scientific thinking and are the hardest problems to solve. But those people who have enormous patience to solve them, acumen enough and time enough in their hands are the ones who learn the physics, and solve them.Elon’s formula is - build things upwards based off the deepest and simplest physics concepts.Often times, most people think from analogies and try to build solutions that are analogous to solutions to the existing problems. If one thinks from the very basics, probably better solutions are possible. There is absolutely no doubt about this, and if one thinks from the basics, tries and experiments with the deepest possibilities, and explores more and more, one would fail more, but each failure will bring a new learning, and leach new learning will bring a better solution.The reality is that most people do not dive deep into the manuals, and are always struggling to solve the problems. The most hardcore people do not just dive deep into the manuals, they write them. They are the ones who define how problems are solved and how to best approach them. Therefore they are the ones who become like Elon Musk.Simple answer is: Learn continually, ask deep questions and work hard on finding right solutions.I believed in this recipe for success, and tried it for many months and I know it works. It is not easy, but it is not impossible. I have made others believe in this recipe for success. And they have made it possible for me to believe in the belief.Stay blessed, and stay inspired!

I have collected a nested set of leftover plastic lids in one of my kitchen drawers. The largest one was saved from one of those 32 ounce containers of cashews. Or mixed nuts. No matter, as it’s a big lid of about 4.25 inches or 11 cm, and is a perfect size for a burger that shrinks to fit the usual burger bun. The smaller lids are for the occasions I’m feelin’ kitchen frisky and step up to the extra time to make baby burgers or sliders as named by some folks. Who needs a burger press when you can virtuously up-cycle a plastic lid?Now I betcha you’re wondering how a lid is going to work without making a mess. Most of the time I’m making burgers ahead and freezing them because I’m processing a grocery deal on bulk ground beef. Fix it and freeze it!The burger mixture is divided usually into “quarter pounders” or 5 parts from a pound if I’m stretching the meat. 8 parts if I’m heading toward baby burgers. A square of clear wrap near 3x’s the lid width is nested into the lid. The pressed ball of ground meat is then flattened firmly into the lid to fill out to the edges and a small indentation is pressed at center for less swelling later during grilling. Sometimes I need to add a little or take a little of the mix if the lid, also functioning as a measure, shows the ground meat portion isn’t quite sufficient or too much. A quick yank on the edges of the wrap pulls the new patty out of the lid form leaving no mess behind. The excess wrap is then folded over the top and smoothed to cover, then placed on a cookie sheet to freeze hard. Later, the individually wrapped patties are stacked into a labeled ’n dated freezer zip bag and tucked into our chest freezer.The patties are near perfect in a round, but, more importantly, they’re very even in thickness meaning they’ll cook for the same amount of time. Hard-pressed to about 1/2 inch, deeply chilled or frozen, they hold together well and end up with the crispy edges I love. Bon appetit!

EDIT: Please do not PM me about how to get a job at Google. There are a ton of brilliant Quora answers out there which will be able to guide you much better. Thank you.Disclaimers:1. All views listed are my own. Google doesn't endorse them. It may or may not be applicable to other Indian Googlers. Most points are based on my perception. Some one else may have perceived things differently. Let’s agree to disagree :)2. I worked in Hyderabad office. So some of the answers might be more applicable to Google Hyderabad vs Google Bangalore or say Mumbai. I have not worked in all the organisations at Google India. Most of them may be more applicable to my organisation than others.3. I am no longer employed with Google. I left to pursue higher education.What is it like to work at Google India? Let me share some of my experiences in form of short stories/snippets. I have divided the answer into 2 sections - Exceeds expectations (thing that Google India does really really well) and Needs Improvement (things that can be made better).EXCEEDS EXPECTATIONSa. PERKSOne fine Monday morning, I had a single ten rupee note in my wallet. I checked my wallet again on Friday evening and it still had that single ten rupee note in it. At Google I don't spend a dime during weekdays. I signNow office in an office provided cab, eat at the free Google cafes, have snacks and dinner at the office itself and then signNow home in one of the office cabs.One of my favorite perks of working at Google India was sleeping in the office cabs on my way to home after a hectic day at work. Also, the cab service is only offered in India. In US, Google provides a shuttle service but the cab service doesn’t exist in any other country (to the best of my knowledge).Talking about wallets, the security is pretty great. You can leave your wallet, watch, laptop etc. anywhere in the office and can expect to find it back in the same place the next day or with security. In my 2 years at Google, I never heard of anyone’s stuff getting stolen.Most roles allow for some overseas travel opportunities. I went on a business trip to Europe. I followed all the guidelines for daily allowances (which is pretty generous) and wasn't asked a single question about it. I had drinks when I wanted to and had all kinds of exotic food on the company's card. Some Companies are cost driven where as Google is Value driven. (The cost of asking for business justification for each & every bill is more expensive than letting the employee do some productive work in that time. See point no. 4 under culture)Google offers a generous dental and vision insurance on top of health insurance. I underwent LASIK surgery and it was covered by Google’s vision insurance completely. Generally LASIK is considered as a cosmetic surgery and is not covered in most insurances.I know a couple of Indian Googlers who will never leave Google just for the amazing health insurance that it provides to some of their family members who need permanent medical attention.During employment, if you undertake any professional course that is related to your job, then Google reimburses 2/3 of the total cost. In case of personal development, Google reimburses 1/3 of the cost. Guitar lessons, Dancing lessons, learning a new language etc. come under the purview of personal reimbursement. I have used personal reimbursement couple of times and it was a smooth process. (Upload the bills and fill a small form and done)Much has been said about Google’s food over the inter webs. I don’t have anything new to add to it, but you realise the importance of it during the weekends when you have to get your own food. (I am a bachelor who lives alone and doesn’t like to cook)Other perks that I have enjoyed during my tenure in Google India - On site Gym, playing table tennis, pool, xbox, foosball, concierge service which takes care of all your daily errands like dispatching a courier, paying bills etc. (not free but nominal), laundry service (not free), mail room where you can order all your Amazon and Flipkart goodies :D. Also, there is an in house coffee shop(free), library in the office, culture club, theatre club, football club, cricket club,basketball club (in Hyderabad at least).Google tries it best to care for you. They celebrate every employee’s work anniversary by decorating their work desk and offering them some massage points which in India translates to 60 minutes of free massage.This is how my desk looked like on my 2nd work anniversary. If it makes any difference, I was on my notice period on this day.9. Free Goodies. Team has extra budget? Great, let’s order some goodies. Organisation has some cash leftover from the annual budget? Great. Let’s order some goodies. I have received Google t-shirts (5–6) , couple of hoodies,external hard disk, wireless speakers, headphones, backpacks, selfie stick, neck pillow, keychains, pen drives, coffee mugs etc. in just 2 years. The amount of money Google spends on each employee is staggering.A lot of other companies would pat themselves in the back for saving some money from a party budget and carry it over to the next year. Not Google :)Talking about goodies, the grand daddy of them all - the annual Christmas gift awarded to each employee. I received a Nexus 5X last Christmas and an Android One phone the year before on Diwali.b. CULTUREGoogle allows you to be yourself. They don’t have a one screw fits all bolts policy. Come at what time you want & leave when you want to. There is no concept of attendance or normal office hours. One of my colleagues who got an exceptional rating last cycle had the habit of coming to office at 3 pm. (In his defense, he did work till 12 in the night.)You can wear whatever you want to. No dress code bullshit. You are not judged on how well your shirt is pressed.One of the unsaid rules of working at Google is - Be Nice and Be Respectful. People hold doors for you. You will hold doors for people. Expect to hear the word “Thanks” (or some variant) every other sentence.Elimination of bureaucratic bullshit. Google tries its best to eliminate hassles for its employees. There are proper channels for everything. Have a question about your latest payslip? Mail an email alias and get your concern addressed in 24 hours or less. Need to get some expenses reimbursed? Go to an internal portal and fill out a form and done. You don’t have to jump through the hoops to get things done. This is true for pretty much everything.There is an internal memes site ( check out Eric Schmidt’s book for more details) where you can criticise the CEO, senior VPs, management etc. without any repercussions. You can voice your disagreement and it is OK!. You can respectfully agree to disagree. Also, Googlers are the first to be up in arms against any decision taken by the company which may not be in the user’s best interests. ( Integrating G+ with Youtube was an unpopular decision internally and people weren’t shy when it came to expressing their disagreement)Google India celebrates multiple festivals every year by decorating the office and preparing special food on those days. It also has Bring your children to work multiple times a year where they install make shift slides & play houses in the office for children. Also, there are multiple initiatives organised by Googlers and for Googlers to give something back to society.c. WORKYour work will largely depend on which organisation you join and on your skill sets.Annual increments every year are quite generous. The only time people bitch about their increments is when they compare it against their neighbor. “I only got 20% while so and so got 30% last year blah blah”. Obviously, increments are dependent on your current base salary and your appraisals.You can say NO to projects. If the project doesn’t interest you, then you can decline to take it up. Obviously you need to convince your manager. Most managers will agree to not give you some project which you don’t want to undertake.Google has a pretty good internal mobility program. But the competition is very immense.( See point no.1 in Needs Improvement section)Needs ImprovementOne of my colleagues used to jokingly say that Google hires Ph.Ds to work as janitors. This is true to a large extent. Google hires CEOs to work as mid level managers. Most of the people who work at Google (and in India too) are way over-qualified for their jobs. If Google India wants to hire someone to write an email, they will go and hire a topper from DU. If they want to hire someone who can provide call support to users, they will go and hire an English hons. topper from DU (Do remember that you need some 99% in your boards to just clear DU’s cut off) . There are Ph.Ds at Google from IVY league colleges who just move data from one database to the other. You can see the pattern. This leads to immense competition.Most of the interesting roles are in Mountain View. The Engineering division in Hyderabad and Bangalore work on Google Apps for Work. It is a small team. I am not sure about the exact numbers but it is definitely less 1% of the total engineering workforce at Google. The two largest organisations at Google India are the sales org and the anti-abuse wing of Google which take down offensive content. If you come to work at Google India don’t expect to work on some cutting edge product like Driverless cars, Brain or Loon. Expect to work on something boring.Google India offers very limited scope for career growth. You obviously can’t become the CEO/SVP/VP working from India when more than 80% of your workforce is based out of Mountain View. The roles in India are very limited too since only a handful organisations are based out of India. Sooner than later, anyone, who has some iota of ambition and are not constrained by family, move to Mountain View. (The internal mobility is pretty great by the way minus the tons of competition for good roles. See point no. 1)Google runs a lot of programs to train its management and provides a lot of support to its employees to keep them stress free and remove all politics from the workplace. However, Google is a system run by people and at the end of the day people are flawed. Some politics does creep into the picture. It might be comparatively less than many other places but it does exist.Promotions in the non-tech organisations are very messy. It comes down to how much your manager is willing to push for your case. So, if you don’t have the best of relationships with your manager or your manager doesn’t like your face then find a new manager ASAP. If your manager is someone who backs down easily then say bye-bye to your promotion. I knew a guy on the floor who would stand behind his reportees like a wall (the noun, not Rahul Dravid). Multiple reportees in his team got promoted each cycle. Same cannot be said about the manager who had the reputation of backing down easily. It is not like there weren’t any hard-working or deserving candidates in the latter’s team. The scene is signNowly different and less messy for tech ladders.Talking about Promotions, the lack of transparency around the committee who sits down to evaluate your candidature for promotion can be unnerving. Google allows you to be yourself & disagree with the decisions of the upper management. But at the back of your mind, you are always scared of what you say because you never know at what stage it may come to bite you in your backside. Almost any senior person on the floor can get you screwed out of your promotion. You absolutely cannot afford to piss off anyone who sits in one of those promo committees. What if the senior manager whose XYZ decision you disagreed with says he is not happy with your work in one of those closed committee meetings. If your immediate manager doesn’t fight tooth and nail for you, your promotion is gone. This point is specially true for Google India. I don’t think Google India managers are good at taking criticisms from their reportees. Almost all the questions asked during town hall meetings are anonymous. If the management doesn’t allow anonymous questions for some town hall, no questions are asked in that town hall. There is a lot of mistrust between management and non-management.This needs to be FIXED ASAP.Google India takes an awfully long time to weed out bad managers. Managers with bad approval ratings are given multiple chances to become better at their job. It can take anywhere from 3 years to Never for Google to identify a bad manager and ask them to either become an individual contributor or find another role somewhere else. Problem with this is the following : A bad individual contributor screws up a project. A bad manager screws up the career of their multiple reportees, multiple projects, the entire team and relationship with stakeholders.That being said, Google does put in some checks through the internal culture & escalation mediums that ensures that your manager will show consideration for you as a human being (unlike the notorious Indian IT industry where you are addressed as a ‘resource’ and not a human being). However, some people are simply not cut out for people management. I don’t blame Google for any of this. I simply hope they get better at filtering out such candidates early on and removing them sooner. They should also change the annual Manager feedback survey to bi-annual and make it more actionable & hold the manager responsible. Currently, the manager feedback survey is useless and is only used for the manager to self-introspect. So, if a particular manager thinks along the lines of ‘Hey. I am a good manager. All of these people reporting under me who have given me an approval of only 30% are idiots. I don’t care about this survey’ then the survey becomes entirely meaningless. There is no accountability for a manger with a bad survey rating.This might be slightly controversial but - Google doesn’t fire anyone for low performance. How is this a con? Let me explain. Amazon has a policy of firing 10% of its staff every year after stack ranking them. Google rarely fires anyone for low performance. At best after multiple bad reviews, they are asked to find a new team or job and are given enough time to do so. Both Google and Amazon in my opinion are at the two extreme ends of the spectrum. One leads to slack while the other leads to stress over fear of losing your job. I think a middle path is a more suitable approach. My 2 cents. That being said, Google does provide incentives for you to work hard. Hard work leads to good ratings which leads to better pay, more equity, better & faster career growth. However, you will occasionally find some people who are content with putting in their absolute minimum at the job and are simply happy with their take home salary and flying under the radar of the management.Google India is notorious at hiring people at the wrong level. I know so many people who were hired one level below than they should have been. If you are offered a job at Google India, then definitely try to signNow out to an existing Indian Googler and evaluate which level is suitable for your profile and try to negotiate with your recruiter. Also, don’t let them push you around. Some recruiters think they have the birthright to hire you at the wrong level for a low salary because they are offering you a chance to work at Google.Again, this point is applicable only for non-tech ladders. Google uses internal tools for everything. You will learn a lot of skills during your job but most of them won’t translate to something that you can re-use in the industry. You will have to rely on your soft skills to get your next job.Open Work space: The floor can be very noisy at times (specially post 5 pm) and sometimes it can be impossible to work without your headphones on. For whatever reasons beyond my comprehension, a few folks used to take meetings from their desks and take 30 min+ personal calls sitting on their desk, happily oblivious of the amount of noise & annoyance they are causing to everyone in the bay. You either need to put on headphones or go up to them and request them to move somewhere else. Most often than not, it is you who will either put on the headphones or move somewhere else because you don’t want to appear rude.The amount of freebies & other perks can sometimes make you entitled. Some become more entitled than others. Some bad apples do treat the temporary employees (TVCs) with disrespect. Some engineering guys do look down on non-engineering guys. (Please notice the word - some. Some doesn’t mean all)Your work doesn’t speak for you. You need to spend a lot of time to market your work. This includes sending emails, signNowing out to upper management during their office hours and very subtly praise yourself and your work, speaking out during meetings and again talking about your work and so on. This can be difficult for introverts and for people who are uncomfortable with boasting about their work.Related to Promotions - The amount of work put by you is completely meaningless. To get promoted, you need to deliver on projects and show impact. If the management keeps flip flopping on the scope of the project or you are collaborating with someone who doesn’t care, then either you need to Superman up and deliver the project end to end all by yourself or forget about your promotion. Also, even if you successfully execute a very complex project but for whatever reason, the metrics gods aren’t favorable to you and the impact numbers don’t look good, then it won’t do you much good. On the other hand, it is quite possible for someone to land a super easy project and gain a lot of brownie points by showing some good numbers thanks to business requirements of that particular product.The Microsoft Problem. Google India, like Google is expanding at a fast rate. This means more competition and lesser budgets for everything. The budgets for parties, gifts, events, off sites have decreased over the years. Don’t get me wrong, the perks and budgets are still very high, but every time the number of coffee machines on the floor get reduced or your favorite expensive candy in the micro kitchen go missing or the size of the packets of cookies in micro kitchen go from large to small, a lot of old timers start speculating about the upcoming apocalypse. (Apocalypse here being end of perks and culture as we know it)Throw Nooglers in the ocean and let them either learn to swim or drown completely (metaphorical). This is more of a Google culture and less of a Google India culture. As a new joinee, and after a couple of short meetings explaining the role of your team, you are expected to fly on your own. You are given a span of 3- 6 months to ramp up and learn things on your own. If you run into a problem, you are expected to signNow out to someone and seek help. No body will come and ask you if you need help. I am not sure why I am including this in the needs improvement section. Google hires self-starters & ambitious people who like to get things done. However, in the beginning this can be very intimidating and you are expected to struggle a lot. Even basic things at Google from getting the right accesses and getting added to the correct groups to submitting a simple change in the codebase will require you to read some internal documentation or ask someone for help.Bottom line :You will come to work for Google India for the brand and leave to pursue better quality work elsewhere (either to Mountain View or to another company). Google India is a very good employer and treats you well but once the honeymoon period is over, it is the quality of work which will keep you satisfied (or dissatisfied) at the work place and no amount of free chocolates or other freebies will be able to compensate for it. So choose your role wisely and don’t expect flying unicorns or something. Do keep in mind that all the free stuff will cease to excite you..just like your cell phone isn’t exciting anymore and just like your last car or clothes stopped pleasing you after a couple of days/weeks.

Consider my case.I have deactivated my social networking accounts for more than 8 months.I use mobile as less as possible. 30 minute quora+ 1-hour music. Some days only 1 hour of music.I don't go to/attend any family functions.I don't go to a family picnic. Well, this time I have to go due to my mom's request.I stay at 23×7 at home. 18×7 in my room. I only go outside for about 1 hour daily to get some fresh air and sunlight. It is a cold outside dude. Sunlight is needed.I don't hangout with anyone. Last I have visited the town's market on 5th December to fill Jee application form. Before that in the month of October.I don't know how to ride a bike. My friends tease me about this.I never go to restaurants to waste father's money.I don't buy unnecessary stuff, dresses.I have no shoe. I bought one in 2014. But as I grew older, it doesn’t fit me from 2016.Contact with friends-0, friend circle-0.Time to with family- 6 hours. I use 3 hours,other 3 hours goes for lunch, bath, dinner etc.TV- Nill. I don't watch TV or movie.Cricket match- Since 2014 I have never watched full innings.Study time - 12+/-1 hoursLearning time-2 hours. Total involvement time- 14 hours(12 hours syllabus+2 hours out of syllabus topics for a science student like philosophy, psychology, economics etc)And the most important for a foodie- I say no to heavy diet as it makes me feel sleepy.As I am a self-study student, I have to do more mental work as that of a normal student. So these sacrifices are worth if I will get my dream college.Thanks.[math]Tripathy[/math]

Where to start.First, the insurance industry is going through a major upgrade where a lot of the past inefficiencies are being solved and ironed out.There are inefficiencies at various stages of the insurance process. I will discuss two of the major ones:DistributionWhen you buy insurance, there are three main ways to buyGo to a lead generator online that shows you multiple quotes and then sells your information to insurance agents.The Problem: no one likes being cold called and having their information sold for a profit. You have to finish up your buying process over the phone and are often tossed around between lead generator, insurance agent, and insurance carrier. An example of a lead generator is EverQuote. This is the worst experience for the customer.Go directly to a carrier website and fill out one application and get their quoted price.The Problem: First, the carrier you go to may not be a good fit and just outright deny you a quote after all your work. Second, if you want to check prices on 5 different carriers, you have to fill out five applications. This leads to entering a lot of information five times. You also don’t really have an easy way to compare what is offered in the policy and how the coverage in the five policies compare.Go directly to a brick & mortar independent insurance agency, speak with one of their agents in person or over the phone, and fill out one application and get many prices.The Problem: you may have to visit a physical office. Only open during business hours 9–5 M-F. You have to make one/multiple phone calls. That being said, this is your best option out of the three listed, because you get an experienced professional looking at what you need and shopping not just on price, but quality and value of your policy.I’m trying to create a fourth option to make the insurance buying process more efficient. My goal is to make insurance shopping as easy as buying a plane ticket:What if there was an online insurance agency that allowed you to fill out one simple form online, you submit, and they do the shopping for you with multiple carriers, never sell your information, and send you multiple insurance packages to compare from multiple carriers all crafted for your specific needs. I work only online, email, text, and chat. No picking up the phone, no going to an actual building, and no “only open M-F 9–5”. Of course you can still call or come visit us if you want to, but we realize that is a less efficient shopping process.Now on to another inefficient area of insurance…Inspection & ClaimsInspection and claims is another part of the process that is extremely expensive and inefficient, but it is harder to solve without increasing fraud. Keep in mind that around 10% of claims paid out by insurance companies are fraudulent, so you often need an experienced professional to do the inspection during the initial application of the policy and during the claims process. This is inefficient because it requires scheduling a time, having a person physically drive out to the location of the property, and spend an hour looking at the place and writing a report. This person is expensive.This process is being improved by technology in ways such as using google maps, drone imaging, and even asking the customer to take video and photos of the damage or property to be covered. However, it still has a long way to go before it is anywhere near automated.

I was selected for a summer internship 2016.I tried to be very open while filling the preference form: I choose many products as my favorite products and I said I'm open about the team I want to join.I even was very open in the  location and start date to get host matching interviews (I negotiated the start date in the interview until both me and my host were happy.) You could ask your recruiter to review your form (there are very cool and could help you a lot since they have a bigger experience).Do a search on the potential team.Before the interviews,  try to find smart question that you are going to ask for the potential host (do a search on the team  to find nice and deep questions to impress your host). Prepare well your resume.You are very likely not going to get algorithm/data structure questions like in the first round. It's going to be just some friendly chat if you are lucky. If your potential team is working on something like machine learning, expect that  they are going to ask you questions about machine learning, courses related to machine learning you have and relevant experience (projects, internship). Of course you have to study that before the interview. Take as long time as you need if you feel rusty. It takes some time to get ready for the host matching (it's less than the technical interview)  but it's worth it of course.

As a headhunter, my entire job profited off of career decisions on a mass-scale. My role was to guide, advise, and coach my candidates to position themselves in the best light to land an attractive job offer or multiple offers for those who were really “lucky”. Every time I successfully placed a candidate in their new role, I’d earn a lucrative headhunting fee.After consulting thousands of professionals from Analyst to Chief-Executive level (ages 35–70) make life-altering career changes or the chances they missed or mistook, I see that my happiest, financially-secure/affluent, most well-balanced candidates adhered to this one common theme:Constantly refine YOUR OWN mission in life.This seemingly simple piece of advice is multi-layered, multi-purpose, and will deeply change the way you view yourself and your ability to succeed.Here’s how this single piece of career advice will change your life:#1. Most people flounder in their careers because work is a means to an end, unrelated to or not closely incorporating one’s natural strengths nor desires. The biggest mistake would be neglect your true self in an effort to continue pleasing your parents, your classmates, and adhere to your professor’s/boss’s/society’s rules. There is nothing more meaningless than living a life to win others’ approval.Nothing you will do will ever please or impress others enough. They’ll always want more and demand it from you. You must start LIVING FOR YOURSELF according your own mission. Do what YOU can do well and PERSEVERE at it, learning and pivoting on the way.As a young graduate, plenty of people told me what I should do. Doctor, lawyer, restauranteur, stockbroker, wouldn’t a stable, secure job like an accountant be nice? etc. Although I’m extroverted to the extreme, I actually don’t like working in teams and relying on others to get things done, plus my technical skills were passable at best. Sales appealed to my strengths in communication, writing, and persuasion. Despite everyone cautioning me against it, I took my first headhunting job right away and the rest is history.#2. Your mission makes your daily activities meaningful and will fuel you to signNow success faster. I recruited people in the pharmaceutical industry - my candidates who truly believed in the importance of their role and their impact on creating life-saving drugs found their jobs more enjoyable and exciting! Instead of dreading work and doing just the bare minimum to stay employed, they were highly attuned to: how they do their job better, who they needed to network with better to get the job done, and how else they can influence their industry/company/impact. They were highly engaged and were more likely to signNow the next stage in their careers due to the high quality of their work and their infectious positive energy.TIP: Hear why Doing What You Love actually creates a noticeable career advantage.#3. Your mission will push you to think bigger. Many people say they don’t really have a mission and are happy with status quo. I believe that is an unintentional lie. We’re so used to saying that we’re content, we’re happy with the cards that we’re dealt, we’re doing well, why complain (or strive for better)? These types of phrases undermine the capability within each individual. I truly believe that the economic value of people never realizing their potential is probably half of the existing GDP.Too many people have their dreams crushed from a young age, so just like in the movie Zootopia, the Dad and Mom bunny tell the main character, Judy Hops, that:“Ever wonder how your mom and me became so happy? We gave up on our dreams and settled. … That’s the beauty of complacency.”Having a mission will propel you to examine the next level-up of your potential. It’s no longer just about making XYZ dollars, achieving XYZ title, buying one house and one care, thinking yay! I achieved someone else’s definition of the American Dream. What is your own version of the American Dream? Why are you working so hard? What are you actually doing for the world? What is your legacy and fingerprint on this world? How many people can you influence more every day?It doesn’t have to be Bill Gates foundation big, but it can certainly be Big Brother Big Sister big. How else are you giving back to humanity? What causes can you contribute to?Thinking beyond just me, myself, and I (my family, my friends, etc.), who else or what else can you do on this earth while you’re here? It’s time to get out there and explore if you haven’t identified a cause to work for. Our humanity is in our ability to use what we have internally as gifts, and share it with the world. Is it your gift: singing, dancing, writing, acting, mentoring, motivating? By neglecting our true gifts, we’re depriving the world of our contributions!I have no doubt that if we all had the guts to pursue our missions day one, instead of waiting 10, 20, 30 years to do what we’ve always wanted to, we’d all be more happy, successful, and healthy.
