I shifted to Pune for my first job @ HSBC GLT. I'm now called a TSE (Trainee Software Engineer). The technical training was arranged at Bharati Vidyapeeth where VESIT was an exception. All other colleges except VESIT had attended a Pre-Training during their final semesters. So, they made a batch of 30 VESITians and put us all in MainFrames. I always wanted to be around Web Technologies, so i requested for shfting me to java. They were reluctant but finally shifted me to a Java after a week's training in mainframes.
The training was pretty nice. All concepts from core java to basic design patterns were covered. We stayed at a hotel in Swargate,Pune during our training. Had lotsa fun there. My mainframe tutor was Mrs. Sheetal and java tutor was Ms. Darshana. I also made good friends with Gaurav(the guy from Amplify mindware).
After 1.5 month's training there, we had our induction in GLT. People from all departments came to tell us about what they did. Among the other sessions, the banking session(by Sarang Khare) and the softskills sessions (by Ryan). After all this, finally i joined work from 24th July '06.
The HR guy(Vijaydeep Joshi) from my department took me to my SPM(Cherian Thomas). It was after that, i met my PM(Sailesh Vaidya) who assigned me to my mentors(Shiju and Devdatta). The first few days were slight boring. My work was to just get software installed on my computer. Once that was done, i started reading and learning things under the guidance of my mentors. I learnt Execution Services(our framework) from the crash course taken by our group people.
Shiju and Dev were TLs and slowly i came to know more of them like Suresh, Kiran, Nilesh etc. There was another Kiran (Nidgunde) in my project whom i had never met before and mistakenly called the TL for a meeting once.  There was another guy who used to come to me and ask me about how i was doing / other stuff... This man spoke minimal and was serious all the time. I used to always wonder who he was and it took me some weeks to realise that this guy was my PL (JayaKumar) ..hehe
In between, we had our departmental(@Solutions) townhall, where i took part in a skit(Heaven and Hell Release 1.0). Those days were fun. The whole skit team was fantastic. We even went to Lonavala one weekend where we enjoyed a lot.
Life was cool...work was coming... i moved from one project to another... (STP to FVQ to FD-PWS and finally MSS). Then finally am still there in MSS. Will write more about my experiences here in the next post.
