BSE Intern to Deloitte 15 LPA — And Beyond, EPISODE-03 of Inside Conversation by Mexybo🎙️

📸🎙️ INSIDE CONVERSATIONS by Mexybo | Episode 3 Do you need a "perfect plan" to build a great career — or just the willingness to keep starting over? Can someone who started at ₹18,000/month, missed a big opportunity by forgetting to submit a form, and switched careers five times still end up leading a 25-member team at Deloitte? In Episode 3 of Inside Conversations by Mexybo, host Ankit Goyal, Founder of Mexybo, sits down with Sushmita Singh, a Consultant at Deloitte whose career refused to follow a straight line — and turned out stronger for it. From Commerce to Bombay Stock Exchange (BSE), from a dream of studying at Trinity College Dublin that COVID cancelled overnight, to switching domains inside Deloitte through sheer networking, Sushmita shares the decisions, doubts, and quiet resets that shaped her career — and her life. This isn't just another career podcast. It's an honest conversation about non-linear careers, money mistakes, self-doubt, marriage pressure, and whether AI can ever replace a real mentor. In this episode, you'll learn 👇 💰 How she went from ₹18,000/month to a 15 LPA offer at Deloitte 📝 The one missed form that cost her a big opportunity — and what she did next 🎓 Does an MBA actually change your salary, or just your resume? 📉 A financial mistake she made trading F&O at 24 — and what it taught her 🔄 How to switch career domains inside a company without a technical background 🧠 Why she says "I reject myself more than anyone else ever has" 💍 Handling parental pressure around marriage while building a career 😤 Dealing with jealousy and comparison when your peers move faster 🤖 Should you use AI as your therapist? Her honest, unfiltered take ⚡ Is a non-linear career a weakness or a superpower? Whether you're stuck at your first job, considering an MBA, switching careers, or just trying to figure out your next step, this conversation offers real, unfiltered perspective — not a highlight reel. 🎙️ Guest Sushmita Singh Consultant at Deloitte Leads a 25+ member team on healthcare client projects MBA, Welingkar Institute of Management 🎙️ Host Ankit Goyal Founder @ Mexybo 🔗 Connect with Ankit Goyal 💼 LinkedIn [/ankitgoyal2310] -   / ankitgoyal2310   📸 Instagram [/@ankitgoyal.life] -   / ankitgoyal.life   🔗 Connect with Mexybo 🌐 Website: https://bit.ly/mexybo-website-wa 💼 LinkedIn: https://bit.ly/mexybo-li-url 📸 Instagram: https://bit.ly/mexybo-social-instagra... 📲 Download the App: https://bit.ly/download-mexybo-yt ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 💡 About Mexybo Mexybo helps people learn directly from experienced professionals who have already achieved what they aspire to achieve.
