The 23-year-old took to LinkedIn and narrated his challenging career journey in a long post.

He start saying that he started applying for jobs in March 2020 as he was about to finish his graduation at Yale. Unfortunately, the timing for Nahata was not right.

Since the Covid-19 pandemic hit the world, companies were on a spree to fire employees during that period and hiring was not actively pursued by companies.

Finally, after knocking on so many doors, his strategy paid off. By the first week of May, Vatsal Nahata had four job offers and he choose the World Bank.
