I found it to be really bad. I wondered how they were able to get such big names to spend so much time preparing hours and hours of content. Then I watched them and realized, oh, they’re just asking these folks questions off camera, like “what’s your process” and then turning their off-the-cuff responses into “lessons.”

Honestly a pretty efficient content creation technique, but don’t go into it thinking they’re fully fleshed our lessons. At best, they’re parroting canned anecdotes from previous interviews / books / talks. And it shows.

Yeah. I got a free 1-year membership when I interviewed there. It’s cool to hear people dive into their passions, but as far as “teaching”, you can get better instructional videos free on YouTube.

Also it’s a subscription service. So you can’t just buy a class and call it a day. They want you locked in.

Them are good. But some of them the celebrity is just killing time on camera and not teaching you anything. The David Sedaris when you mentioned it looks like he’s bringing his mom on, his sister on, and basically doing a talk show versus critiquing and explaining humor writing

I have a non business background, and I often noticed that to go a bit further on certain cases or distinguish yourself from others, some knowledge about the industry/sector can be good. Do you have a website/ressource where I can have an overview of the most frequent industries? Thank you in advance :)

One of my junior associates recently resigned and I've been trying to make an exit myself for several months now.

My physical and mental health have been suffering, so I really don't think I could stay. How did you avoid the guilt trips from Partners/Senior staff trying to get you to stay?

Hello Fishes,

So far I received offers from PwC India, Capgemini and Lexmark for Data Engineering.

More are in pipeline from KPMG GS, TechM, Accenture.

But one peculiar thing is happening. I have appeared for 4 Cognizant interviews but in all I have been rejected. Whereas most of my friends had easily cleared Cognizant. I am switching tech, so I am a bit concerned like whether my knowledge is too shallow😐

Is it sign of an Imposter Syndrome 🥺
