u/AQUAJAVA

I graduated last year with a B.Com (Hons), attempted CAT twice (2024 and 2025) without a good result, and have since been trying to move into analytics. I like the work, but I worry about years of catching up on tech topics, and I want my evenings free for writing.

RBI Grade B feels comforting when I think about it, and I have about six months before the next cycle. I have not decided yet.

Would love to hear from people who have been through it:

1. What does a normal week in the General cadre look like?
2. Is six months realistic from a commerce background?
3. Is the work-life balance as good as people say?
4. Would you prepare full time or alongside a job?

Honest advice is welcome. Thanks! My DMs are open, you can text me there as well

Hey! A bed/spot is becoming available in an existing PG in G.T.B. Nagar and I'm looking for someone who wants to take over the spot.

Location: 2687, Outram Lines Gate no. 2, G.T.B. Nagar (There is a huge park infront)
Nearest Metro: G.T.B. Nagar metro station
Room: 2 - sharing
Monthly Rent: ₹ 9,000
Security Deposit: ₹5,000
Available From: 7th September (or as early as possible)
For: Male

Facilities include:
• AC
• Wi-Fi
• 3 times food
• Washing machine
• Regular Room Cleaning
• Gas Stove to cook and a Fridge

The spot is already furnished and currently occupied, so you can simply take over the available bed rather than searching for a new PG from scratch.

I'm moving to another accommodation, so I'm looking for someone who can take over my spot soon.

You can visit the PG, see the room, and speak to the owner/current residents before making any decision.

DM me if interested and I'll send the exact location, photos, rent details and owner's contact information.
