The Economist Group Discussions

5th September is my last working day at Infosys. Yoe=4+ yrs
Tech= aws devops
I hold an offer of 18LPA from KPMG with joining date of 7th September. (Wfh)
I applied at Workday on 15th May and went through 7 technical rounds of interview and received a verbal offer letter of 21LPA (hybrid)
Now apparently their technical panel "forgot" about the interview and wants to have a discussion again as 8th technical interview. HR says their joining date will be 19th September.

Should i join KPMG?

Off topic - I will be moving to Hyderabad soon and planning to get my Delhi number 4 wheeler along. I don’t plan on changing the registration number. Do cops create problems for outside number vehicles without NOC?

How long does it take for globant to come back with results/feedback from 2nd round of interview?

Is anyone going for Fall 22 2-year full time MBA worried about graduating into a recession? Or am I overthinking this? Currently in pharma/biotech hoping to pivot to LuxRet which will definitely be hit if a recession slides through.

Heard that Accenture gave promotions to all in the name of Fastrack promotion tag in Dec 2021.. as the attrition rate is high currently.. is that true...?

How negotiable are used cars from places like Carmax Carguru Autotrader etc?

Hey, international student here, struggling to find companies that will sponsor from a non target school. I have experience in both VC and consulting gigs, generally in healthcare but open to others. Any leads/referrals appreciated.

What has the radical left passed that infringes on your liberties?

If you miss the ‘Golden Age’ of television, I highly recommend tuning into Sean, Laura, and Tucker on FOX. An argument can be made that they are the Sopranos, The Wire, and Breaking Bad of their format. Unlike those works of fiction however, these shows and their respective hosts provide insight into our real world in a way no screenwriter ever could.

I’m 40 and recently transitioned to UX/Product Design. I completed a bootcamp, continue to improve my skills. I network, have coffee chats, attend virtual events, iterated my portfolio and resume. Everyone that I’ve spoken too so far say that I’m doing everything right and that my non-traditional background is an advantage. So why am I still unemployed? The few interviews that I have had, feedback has been I don’t have enough experience. I’m at a loss!

Does anyone else struggle with billing? I find myself working 12+ hour days and yet my actual hours are pretty modest. Seems like I’m losing most of my time on correspondence because I’ll forget to start a timer when I read/respond to emails.

There’s been some posts on the best planning tools (e.g. planners, calendars, etc.), but my question is how do ppl make sure they use them? I get them and am excited about the possibility of them helping for about a week then I just stop using it. Even if I find it helpful I just never stay consistent with it. Does this happen to others? Any tricks or suggestions to stay consistent using planners, to do lists, calendars, etc.

I AM A GRAPHIC DESIGNER
IF ANYONE IS LOOKING FOR ANY EXPERIENCED DESIGNER,
I AM AVAILABLE TO WORK

Would you mind helping an art director who also lectures in art direction schools please: what has been the most exciting or memorable or useful lecture in your Art Direction school/course as students? I want to give real value they can spend professionally and not blah blah, so I am interested in what you people have considered a valuable input.
Please no suggestions like "Change your studies until it's too late" (because I have already done that lesson haha --and they are still there)

Senioring my first job next week, let's hear your first senior experience horror stories. Especially you EY pippers.

What are some good investing books you'd recommend?
