Getting dinged for relationship counseling at MEPS when trying to join again after six years, honorable discharge. Is it a sign? Should I remain a free man? Worth the waiver? MEPS is mad annoying.

“You got out once. You dip so much as a pinky back into this pond... you may well find something reaches out... and drags you back into its depths”

What are you getting back in for?

Oh that’s different I say go for it. I’ve seen people go back to active duty after a few years of working a normal job forgetting all the BS and seriously regretting it.

This is a sign of things to come. If you think this is annoying, just wait.

I was recently interviewed for a position at PayTM for DevOps Engineer, and was required to solve a simple search DS/Algo question on Python. After that, I was asked to optimise it's complexity and talk on it further. The interview revolved around using operators (not covered by a standard CKA exam afaik), dangling images reaping automation and ACL/SG on AWS. Just wanted to know if this is an expected format of interview for this position, since it was my first one! YOE = 2

In this case, is an MBA required to succeed or progress to the MD, partner, C Suite level? Or should I grind my way through the industry given my interests are so pointed?

Would love a convo and/or guidance.
