Corporate cholestrol

An enterpreneur alumnus of XLRI while presenting about his venture to us, introduced a term "corporate colestrol". The term refers to the feeling of getting used to all the comforts of a well paying and full-of-perks job with MNCs, that many MBAs get into. Since this man left his campus job to start his own business, he says that initially you find it really tough to adjust to living on normal means (no five star dinners, no executive class air travel etc). The corporate colestrol creates a minimum expectation in you of things to expect in life, which if you do not get, you get a set back.
