Here you have to work hard to stay in the competition. “See, if you are hard-working, if you have the dedication you will find work here. Here everybody is professional. There is plenty of opportunity and the remuneration depends on your role. So far, I have had my luck. Yes, there’s a tough competition and you need to be patient and focus on your aim. Then everything will come in your way eventually.”
