He advised the students to gain information over a period of time, about the various professional roles being offered by these two stakeholders and decide what role suits them best. He shared with the students that a good strategy to follow in academic and professional life is to keep in mind the conclusion or the desired result and then work towards it.
He concluded by saying that for their first job, students should give higher importance to the profile than the salary as the first job is the best platform to launch their careers in the right direction and be a successful professional.
