Does this position have the word “strategy” in the role? If so it is likely part of our internal corporate development team.

Hello Fishes,

So far I received offers from PwC India, Capgemini and Lexmark for Data Engineering.

More are in pipeline from KPMG GS, TechM, Accenture.

But one peculiar thing is happening. I have appeared for 4 Cognizant interviews but in all I have been rejected. Whereas most of my friends had easily cleared Cognizant. I am switching tech, so I am a bit concerned like whether my knowledge is too shallow😐

Is it sign of an Imposter Syndrome 🥺

Pls help🙏🏾

Hi! I have a very demanding role as a comms director, but still make time to volunteer on the side for some women's organizations I am proud to support.

I don't want to leave the roles despite the overwhelm.
