just got a call from some software engineer who i don’t know… said he got my number from some IITians’ network!
he talked about some “royalty business” which one can do by the side of a software job…
he said we’d need to invest 5-6 hours a week and Rs. 5K initially and then can earn around 2 lakh per month in 4-5 years’ time… and talked of some IITD guy who’s retired at 28 doing this…
tried to convince me to go meet him TODAY… and said that i have an extremely closed mind and stuff when i told him “no”… said that the max i can get from an IIM job is around $100000 a year (more than what JPM (i’ve almost forgotten about that!) was offering me) and that i can make many times more through this…
one of the flip-sides of being part of a well-connected network i guess…
