A great strategy to use for time efficiency. No scratch paper, no calculator. Use excel for all math.

Hi,
I'm a BMS graduate from a top tier college in India. Have an experience of 1.6 yeaars in the US Mortgage industry (Secondary Market). However, I've resigned in June, 2020. Now, I'm looking for full time roles in core finance and I'm looking towards PE firms/IB. To upskill myself, I've also completed a PE course on coursera. Can someone guide me/provide leads about how could I be considered for an interview atleast? (I've been applying aggressively, but couldn't land an interview yet, help!)

Do NOT claim you are "colorblind" in the workplace. 1. DE&I knowledge is now a core leadership competency. Colorblind claims will earn you the reputation of being DEI-ignorant at best & racist at worst. 2. Colorblindness within the context of workplace diversity is an obvious lie. You do NOT want to be painted as an intellectually dishonest leader. 3. Colorblind claims signal that you lack the leadership skills & vocabulary to have key conversations. Ask questions here, in this safe space.
