I moved to the US for a new job and the imposter syndrome is like 1000% . I can’t even participate in conversation as I don’t really have any context to their discussions eg I don’t really vacation or surf/ski watch that yoda movie everyone else seems to have watched 😅 etc lol. (From a “3rd world” country)

This is quite normal but don’t let it get to you. Focus on your work and keep telling yourself, “I might not be the smartest but I’ll strive to be the grittiest”

Had it bad when I first started work, you just need to realize that you have strengths, find work that tailors to your strengths and ride it out until you gain confidence to try something new

Tier 2 MBA colleges and growth dilemma

At most companies your CTC is decided based on which tier your college is classified under. Most of the times even with a really high experience and stellar performance you won’t be able to match CTCs of freshers from Tier 1 colleges.

How do you solve for similar work profiles for Tier 1 and 2 grads but lower pays for Tier 2 grads?
