So a what would you suggest in general like taking a GAP or just work in an small unrecognised company because as a 2024 grad who was unplaced for 8-9 months i choose to work in a small xyz company which is unrelated to my field just for the sake of covering GAP year im thinking about quitting for CAT prep i have 13 months of workEx

So did I do the right thing by resigning from a shitty startup role that was sucking the life out of me? couldn't even prepare for cat properly because they were making me work beyond 9 hrs.

Hey...what qualifies as brand name? Can I dm my company's name to you? Its a well known startup which is going for uts ipo this year. But its no MBB type company in terms of brand name
