Well, I’m impressed that your writing has improved! In my experience, people’s writing tends to degrade as they progress through their career. Take, for example, one line answers with typos from MDs to a carefully crafted email.

I mean I just need to look at my 14 yr old emails

Its a bell curve. Email writing ability peaks when you’re mid career and the drops off after that

I have the opposite feeling. Years ago I provided good and insightful comments, and now it's a bunch of one liners.

Hey fishes,

I have a question. Currently I'm working in Mindtree as a Infrastructure Engineer and basically there is nothing much technical in it.

I am very much interested in cloud and Devops and currently started learning about it as well.

I just wanted to know, how much tough it would be for me to switch from a support role to Devops role? (I am having 14 months of experience)

Larsen & Toubro Guys , Please advice me on below scenario. Suppose we have offer of Company A of 10 LPA ,later we receive call from Company B then they will ask Do you have Offer in-hand? Now my question is , do we need to tell them that I have offer OR let all the round get complete ?

Thought behind asking this question is, in first call if we tell them that I have offer then they might not go with next rounds.
