Hi, I’m Vickram Agarwal and since joining General Motors Middle East in the Marketing Department nine months ago, my life has radically changed.

My life for used to look like this:

  • Wake up - 13:00
  • Long run - 14:00
  • Shower - 16:00
  • Pub - 17:54
  • Club - 21:58:04 (Just in time to avoid cover charge)
  • Bed - 04:36

Now, my life looks like this:

  • Wake up - 05:40
  • Drive to work - 06:25
  • Meeting with Field Sales Manager - 07:00
  • Meeting with Regional Marketing Manager - 07:45
  • Meeting with Pricing - 08:30
  • Meeting with Creative Agency - 10:00 Lunch - 13:00
  • Meeting with Media Agency - 15:00
  • Meeting with Regional Marketing Manager 16:15
  • Meeting with Marketing Director - 17:00
  • Start replying to emails - 18:00
  • Finish replying to emails - 22:00
  • Drive home - 22:30
  • Dinner 23:00
  • Bed - 00:00

I would like to say this was not an easy transition, but in fact it was far easier than I thought. To be honest, I had no clue what full time employment would be like. I graduated a little over 9 months ago with a B.Sc. in Business Administration from the University of Cardiff in the UK and now I’m on the Product Marketing Team for Chevrolet cars in the Middle East.

General Motors is an interesting company to start your career with, and I believe it will cloud your vision if you ever attempt to look at a life outside of it (this is why people don’t leave), but from the little that I see so far, I love it.
