This is quite an interesting yet amusing discussion. Interesting because it surprises me how people expect the earth & the moon in the initial stages of their career. Amusing because they see the seniors enjoy their fruit of labor and cannot understand why... your seniors incidentally went through the same grind that all of you are talking about today. The ones who learned grew and became successful, the others are still grinding away their life.
The first few years are formative years. You learn the tricks of the trade. Mentally and psychologically this is the time when your last thought should be money. have you ever seen any one who is really good actually complain about lack of opportunities. This complaint will only come from people who are average / mediocre or lesser. The secret is to become GOOD if not Excellent and the only way to that is work, learn, work more in these 3 - 4 years. Rest (finance & fame) will Follow.
Their is science behind communication and you need to learn it. Here is a scenario that should get all of you to think...
Bandna had been promised an increment in 3 months. At the end of the 4th month, she goes to her boss and says... I would like to sit with you to take feedback of my performance and how i have not met your expectations. Since i have not received my increment as promised by you, there must be something that you are not really satisfied about my performance. Since you have not mentioned the same to me, i thought i must have a conversation with you regarding the same. This will help me not only to improve myself but also to bridge the gap so as facilitate my increment.
What do you think would have happened in this case...:-)
There will always be a good way, a bad way, a wrong way and the right way... The trick is to understand which should be used when!!!
