2014 End.
During my exit interview in TCS HR asked me :- Why are you leaving? Where will you join?
I remember clearly what I told.
"Other than the role and package, Cognizant's dresscode policy is better. Till date I never understood what does a tucked in Shirt and a belted Trouser has to do with implementing logic to code? Infact it has no logic. Another is Cognizant offers free coffee and I need that too."
He laughed but I was damn serious.😷

Amen! IT in deloitte also has a dress code it seems. Waiting for office to resume and check how real it is.

I don't agree. The dress code policy has to be there. Imagine you are inside the toilet, you can't wear the same clothes while you are in your kitchen.
Plus it reminds you that you are working in an office, not in your backyard.

Hi folks. I’m a data scientist at a T2/B4 firm that does fairly technical work. I am prepping for interviews to transition to SWE-data at a big tech company and currently have a little over 1 yoe.

Since prep usually takes a while for swe, I have not started seriously applying. However, I am likely to receive an offer for 110-120k at another consulting firm. I was hoping to get some thoughts from other technical folks that made the transition. More in comments
