And the constant taunting they get when they are not able to get 'expected' package . 'Oh you are from IIT why working in this startup at such low package. My friend from XYZ college is working for much better company/salary than you.'

Interests, skills, background, ambitions and the human behind the degree all goes to hell.

The constant comparison to others really hurts. One is never happy, always looking at the next move to bring happiness which never happens.

"Interests, skills, background, ambitions and the human behind the degree all goes to hell." This. Can't agree more.
