Hello sharks,

Recently attended the TCS interview for the role of cloud architect and it went well.

HR asked me to upload all the documents and verified.
Then HR called me to discuss the salary and told me that she will inform the management.

Almost 3 working days after the call, haven't received any updates! Tried to call HR but not picking up the call. I assume it's because of these continuous holidays.

Is this usual!

Please let me know your thoughts and suggestions.

Got an offer for non-tech PgM (finance side) in Google Cloud. They told me I'm on the boarder of L5 but decided put me at L4. I also have other competing offers with higher comp than Google's preliminary offer (aka. range shared by my recruiter as comp is still working on the numbers). Thoughts on negotiation? Timeline to move from L4 to L5? Thanks!

Feel free to share any other tip with the fellow fishes!

Looking for practical advice on improving my attitude to work.

So imagine an imaginary scale where 0 is the worst piece of work a studio could produce and 10 is the best possible outcome.

As an animator working in an agency, I normally end up involved in projects towards the end, so by the time I get my hands on a project I can add between 1 and 3 depending on how much effort I put in.

If a project is a 3 when I get it, how do I summon the energy to make it a 6 that I could to make a 7 a 10?
