Do you ever feel that others may see something in you that you do not necessarily realise?
I have recently received a big award, ranked a high outperformer in my team and received a lucrative offer from my client to join them. The funny thing is when i interview externally i don't think that i "communicate" my full proposition to the interviewers. Therefore, i have initiated a journey of self reflection to see what i am missing...

This for sure. I’m in the same position as you OP

Yup, imposter syndrome. It's a bitch! I've extensive experience!

When people ask me what I do: "that's a really great question - I mostly coordinate stuff around the place and help other people sort things out. Other than that, heaven knows. They seem to think it's useful enough to keep me on for it!"

When you ask my boss: "that's my chief of operations right there!"

It is nice to see that a number of us have similar experiences. It would be interesting to understand what you guys do to address this so that it doesn't hinder your progression.

Hi, been stuck in the contract analysis/review cycle. I have asked a few recruiters how to make a lateral move into in-house.

Hi Guyz,

I went through the entire recruitment process and got selected for IBM ISL. Now I am being told by the HR that they are unable to release offer as there is a hiring freeze.

Can any one please tell me if its correct or just an excuse not to give me offer. If its true, when will this freeze be removed?

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.
