The recent Linkedin publication of the founder of Shaadi.com Anupam Mittal on Hustle Culture set fire to the Internet, attracting praise and criticism to an equal extent. Sharing his beginning of career, Mittal wrote: “When I joined Microstrategy in Boston, they offered me $ 55,000 – below the market rate of $ 80,000 that everyone pocketed. Do I sulk? Negotiate? Complain? Nah. I felt shit but I took it.
Mittal detailed its meteoric climb: “A year later → I was at DC headquarters to help build a new start -up division from zero. 2 years later → Director of strategic partnerships ~ $ 200,000 + crazy stock options. »»
His “cheat code” to succeed? “Manifest like a baba. Work like a beast. Party like an animal.
He rejected the recurring debate on the balance between professional and private life, writing: “Professional exhaustion is real. Balance counts. But let’s say one thing – the best people do not count the hours. They align themselves with the results. »»
He said: “But → the demonstration only works when you correspond to Grind. And yet, every few months, the debate of the work week of 70 to 90 hours explodes online.”
Mittal then talked about what he did to achieve what he has today. He said, “Here is what I did – 1. Location, disciplined, without excuses does not work” Ye Uska Kaam Hai, Ye Mera Kaam Hai. “If something should do – outside my department – I did it. I was an employee, but I developed a” state of mind of the owners “.
How did internet users react?
While some applauded his grain, others were not sold.
A user commented: “The demonstration only works when you associate it with Grind. This line made my day, Anupam Mittal. But another has rejected, saying, “I respect your opinions, but you were in the United States, not in India. Scroll through LinkedIn more, log in with ordinary people and observe how toxic it is to work on the scene of Indian companies. »»
Another criticism highlighted the factor of privilege: “Your trip is impressive, but not everyone can afford to accept a low salary, work 70 to 90 hours per week and hope for a long -term gain. Many people have financial obligations, health problems or personal circumstances that do not allow such an intense approach. »»
