Talking to people much older, and much younger, and listening for what sparks their interest. I do a lot more trendspotting by paying attention to what they’re paying attention to, than by going out and searching up trends on my own. When I discover something new (because they’ve discovered something new), it invariably triggers my creativity response.

I like this. Getting insight from people who’ve done the work and those who are learning how to do it. Things change so that insight is important.

Creating “mind maps” and constantly being a student of a new skill that strengthens my creativity

That’s interesting. I’m going to look into your mind maps rec. I find myself coming up with a lot of ideas and I think mapping them out will help with the implementation part of it.

Counterintuitive but having downtime. I’m a slow thinker and need time with minimal stimulation.

This is something I need to start doing. I find that I don’t have the time for idea generation as I’d like and some of my best ideas come up when my mind isn’t actually at work. Gotta give myself the space.

Hello everyone,

I wanted to know how long does Course5i take to release an offer, I cleared all rounds last friday and was going to get an offer from HR early this week (by Monday evening or Tuesday) but didn’t get any offer till now.

I loved the role and I am still excited to join the organisation so mailed a follow up to the HR yesterday but did not get any response till now. I do not want to follow up for the next 1-2 days since I feel it would be too pushy from my end.
