A Decent Start
No. of emails exchanged:
16
Things I came to know about Saumya:
She's currently looking for a job switch, preferably in Gurgaon or Bangalore.
She was born in Bhopal and brought up in Delhi. (I thought she was from Mumbai, and she was surprised I didn’t know this.)
The ‘18’ in her email is because she created that ID when she was 18 years old.
Her time in Delhi wasn’t great. She still has some traumatic memories she can’t forget.
She has a brother who is married and lives in Gurgaon. If she gets a job in Delhi, she plans to live with them.
Special moments from this week:
She appreciated my efforts in the nicest way. Honestly, I didn’t expect that message - it was really sweet. :)
She shared a few things about herself - like her critical nature, overthinking mind, the meaning behind “18” in her email ID, and her thrilling school experiences - which makes me feel she’s genuinely interested in having a conversation.
She noticed small details too - like how I researched a lot about her but still missed her birthplace.
She also mentioned that she’ll get back to me about the website I sent earlier, once she’s free from interview stuff. I’m not completely sure, but I feel she still wants to explore it properly.
And for the first time, she started her email with “Hi, Vishal.” :)
Thoughts:
It was a good week. I liked it. She seems a bit anxious about her job search. I have been through a similar phase, so I understand how that feels.
