Omg. That's crazy! A 28 year old telling another 28 year old what to do. I wonder when the birthdays are.

How is that odd?

You’ll probably be reporting to and have people reporting to you that are above/below your age.

Are you going to act weird if someone is older/younger then you but you’re supervising them?

Still don’t get it. People have different life paths to where they are today.

At the core of it, I’m not sure myself and others will ever want to spend BTC, even if fees were negligible.

I have cleared all 3-4 round of interviews in Apisero by 26 Dec. HR also taken all the documents like salary slips etc.

Is this correct? Apisero is not rolling out any new offers?

The interview process take weeks of time and multiple rounds. So just wanted to know what is the point of all these rounds.
