Sounds like impostor syndrome. Very common in consulting

Yes. It’s extremely common in consulting. Insecure Overachievers and people w Imposter Syndrome permeate our business. At the other end you have people who are not self aware and over confident. No middle road

Force your supervisor to give constructive feedback to you. Some are uncomfortable or don’t have the backbone to do it, and all 🐠 need feedback, so have some specific points to jump start the convo

Enough. Everyone agrees that I am doing my job right, but idk I just feel always anxious about how people perceive me? Have you guys ever felt this way?

Yea sorry, I meant to say impostor

Think it stems from the fact that we don’t really ‘make’ anything. Innovation and creativity are valuable assets and you have it.

Hi Fishes,

My last working date with TCS is on 4th March 2022 and now they are offering me 80% hike and Canada onsite opportunity and telling that will initiate visa as soon as I take resignation back and also ready to provide written confirmation. On the other hand I have an offer from IBM of 120% hike fixed and performance bonus would be there which I am not considering now.

Which one would be better? please suggest based on your knowledge and experience.

Networking question here. A retired partner at the firm I used to work out reached out to me recently about attending an afternoon during the week (b4 4/30) with one of his long time clients. The partner and I have kept in touch since I joined my new firm and I feel like his invitation is a great networking opportunity since the client (who I have worked with before) is on a number of boards. Torn as how to request off as an S3. Could materialize to nothing but could be good for reconnecting.
