I've had a hybrid role for the past 4 years where I get unlimited sick days (well 14 really until fmla kicked in), 3 weeks of vacation, 3 personal days. I am also given the week after Xmas off. if my toddlers are sick I can work at home with them. Interviewing w fortune 500 that offers 15 pto days that have to use for sick days too.Strictly in office job 9-5 and dress bus.prof. These bad benefits? Outdated culture?I am a seasoned professional. Seems tough.

Hi fishes,
Why TCS is so rude and self proclaimed kinda. I declined TCS offer last year as they were giving very less CTC. Now I got interviewed again with TCS and cleared all the rounds but they are not reactivating my ibegin portal for document upload since I rejected them last year...in this way u think they will never ever reactivate my profile.

If you're trying to find out more about a specific career, it's really useful to chat to someone who's already working in the job. I've come across this mentoring/messaging platform that has quite a few UK professionals who are ready to answer questions. It's called Connectr (formerly My Kinda Future). Here's the site (it's free): https://inspire.connectr.co.uk/BrighterFutures/mentors
Hi folks,

Say that profit = Revenue - Costs. Always a solid way to start
This was literally the only framework I used in all my consulting interviews… it worked lol.
Bye bye potential offer

People prep for interviews? I’ve winged every interview I’ve ever had
At least memorize you 2-3 min "tell me about yourself" script
Bold strategy cotton...let’s see if it pays off
Update - I nailed the interview 😊
Haha I’d typically do at least some prep but winging it for the interviews I’m not particularly interested in hasn’t failed me yet!
always put yourself in the scenario of the role and provide suggested solutions. Some tips
- take your time to read the case
- confirm the objective of the challenge needed to be solved
- thank the interviewer for providing the case
- ask questions about possible past ways they tried to solve the questions
- request a few seconds to think of solutions
- think about the intended steps you would use to solve the solution
Hope this helps and good luck!!
Be yourself

How’s this going OP????
Trrat the interviewer as a colleague and walk them through your thought process. And help lead the discussion. Explain why something is important
Remember to mention potential risks/mitigation when you give your recommendation!
