Hey everyone! Any recommendations on what key metrics/buzz words to highlight as a sales engineer on a resume to stand out while applying to consulting/ba roles? I would like to attempt to make a transition into consulting at mbb or big 4.

You’ll stand out more by not playing buzzword bingo in my book but go ahead and drive stakeholder value through unlocking cross-functional synergies if that sounds neat to you.

Hi Folks, I submitted documents 2 weeks ago for BGV in Tech Mahindra. I have not got any response so far from HR. However, last week they scheduled another interview and dropped me email just before 15 mins, yet i joined the interview but no one joined from their end. Now, HR is not responding. What should I understand from this case? Am I rejected? Tech Mahindra Tata Consultancy

I recently interviewed with Natwest and I got confirmation that they wanted to offer a role. Salary negotiations were started.

He expects to resume the hiring for the role in Q1 '23 and would resume the process then. So is it the end? Honestly, I don't expect him to come back. But what do you think?
