Yea that's good too but I really feel like their placement results are skewed. Like most of those MBB placements are sponsored MBB employees already

How about INSEAD?

Literally any M7

Insead is a joke school, all their placements were from those places already. But insead clearly has a great marketing department

Hi all 8.7 YOE now, Joined wipro 4 months back with 26.5+1lac JB. Skills business analytics. My current project does not follow agile processes at all, very relaxed client. However what im worried is after 2 years would interviewers expect me to have handled a project all alone and acted as a product owner. Thats what i sense once i have 10 YOE, if i switch it would be 6th company, (2 years break due to MBA ofcourse)

Thoughts on seniority? Also, any interview resources for PE portfolio roles?

So, a recruiter gave me feedback that my lack SPHR or SHRM-SCP is causing my resume to be knock out by AI and human recruiters despite my position and work history in Multinationals and being in Technology.
