Strategy 🐠, I'm curious about your day-to-day, and overall work what you actually do. Can you share?
I do business transformation and change management, but I'm curious to get into that side.

Is the bulk of your work slide making and creating a story to tell executives? How much data crunching, or data analysis do you do? On a project, what do you spend your time doing? A lot of research? Interviews?
Sorry I genuinely don't know and would like to know if I would enjoy the day-to-day work

I recently had an interview with HCL and cleared 2 rounds of technical interview. I waited for a week for HR call but no such call was received.

This was 1 week ago and I have still not received any call. Has anyone else faced the same issue? And if yes, should I even expect a call fro HR?

Everyone works on their own thing and stays muted during work blocks, but videos stay on. It reminds me of studying in the library vs at home
