How i landed a high paying job?
I am Aarihant Aaryan! Welcome to the Iron Sharpen Iron newsletter,
I share my weekly homework from my startup journey, learning about human behavior, and sometimes decoding industries and business models for fun.
I can’t control my curiosity :)
I landed a high paying job in 3 weeks without any CV, resume or any proper degree
As you know, I don’t come from a good college but i somehow started building my startup in the last year of my college, we built it for 3 years alongside that I used to write content on LinkedIn, Twitter, on my newsletter sharing insights on tech, business and human behavior
Writing content just didn’t build me someone level of online distribution, but helped me structure my thoughts and taught me to think really well
As of Thousands of people read my content and Last month I made an announcement on LinkedIn, Twitter, and my newsletter that we shut down our company and I have started looking for opportunities
Since then 30 to 40 companies from different domains like saas, fintech, consumer tech, marketplaces - reached out with offers, and I cracked most of the discussions but I was waiting for an opportunity that would fit me
That’s when PW COO reached out and within no time i signed the offer letter
All I can tell you is 2 things, If I didn’t share my failure and asked for opportunities I wouldn’t have landed a job - if you don’t ask answer is always NO Irrespective of who you are, write and share in public domains - it’ll pay off in the long term
Why did I join Physics wallah?
There are many reasons why I choose edtech domain and especially physics wallah, will share few of them:
Education is something very close to me, I know it’s broken and it has to be transformed - I have always been a big advocate of affordable experiential education and PW solves that very well
Exciting number of problems and challenges to solve that will make everything else i have done in my career like a footnote
I have build lot of fintech products before, I didn’t want to do fintech for more years as I want to be known as a great operator, who could make things happen in any segment vs being perceived as the fintech guy
It’s been 2 weeks since I have joined, this is looks promising, exciting and challenging.
Also, I really can’t wait to startup again
