Any mallus who want to stay at 7 hills, Narsingi? Have a 4bhk semi-furnished (16+16+21+22k split)

DM for details

Got matched with a cute girl, a lot of similar interests. 2 days into talking, she drops the bombshell that none of the photos are hers and it was all AI generated. My heart aches a bit but I'm mostly just pissed how inhumane people are playing with feelings.

I have 8L kept in liquid and want to keep it as an emergency fund. My bank FDs max returns is 6.8% for 3 years and post office schemes for 5 years is around 7.5%

Quick background. 21M, just graduated in b.tech biotech from a tier 2 and got placed in a finance firm. Took the course cause I loved the field and lowkey wanted to be spiderman, switched cause reality hit. I wish I had someone to give me such advice back then so thought of putting a thread here. Hope it helps someone.

There is NO clear difference between a B.Tech and and a B.Sc. All the bs you see on one being more industry ready and other being research heavy is bullocks. You'll get the same curriculum and the same facilities. The only advantage of a btech over bsc is the flexibility to switch fields (like how I did). For proof, go on to Linkedin and see people who got employed in your dream company and check educational background, would be either of the two.

Your college decides the exposure you'll get. A btech degree would generally be more expensive than a bsc but if a tier 2 college offers both, get the bsc one. The network you make there and the connections that land you good internships helps heavy for masters.

If you plan on going abroad, opportunities are indeed more but get ready for market fluctuations and heavy competitions from people that have PhDs. People that thrive in this field are those ready to give up time (getting PhDs and post docs) and money cause your starting pay would be gruesome.

If you plan to stick here in India however, you should be aware the exposure is far more limited. But you'll still survive. Pay is horrid in institutes but food and other services are paid for or heavily subsidized. Just know you won't be reaching the luxury of owning houses or travelling from your expense any time soon.

In no way is this meant to demotivate someone to pick biotech. It's a wonderful field and I wish I could work in it but preferably in the commercial side. But one should know if it's really worth it. Hmu if you're stressed about what to do. I was there once.

Looking for groups that play on terfs weekly. Tried playo but haven't found much hope.
