I have applied at AZB Delhi several times and never got so much as an interview call. Ask me how difficult it is to earn even half of what you do. There’s no certainty in my life in terms of workflow and revenue generation. A lot of the work that’s moving around is taxing and super low paying. Here’s some context to drive home my point - I don’t make a sound when a client short pays me by almost a lakh on a 3 lakh rupee bill which stands on 14 days mixed work to the tune of ~ 300 hours. This client now has a cash flow problem and has paid me 25K on a 2 lakh bill. India is full of trashy clients like this. What’s worse is that they, more often than not, are gullible as hell. Clients like these get easily swayed by bad (cheaper) shortcuts then come back after burning their fingers demanding to be saved.
Long story short - be damn grateful for what you have. Work hard and save your tier one job like your life depends on it. Outside it is a boundless sea of mediocrity, which will most certainly break your spirit.
