Hi fishes good morning. I joined CapG on 26th may 2021 as a Associate consultant.  Till this date i got appraisal as well as promotion also.
But this is not sufficient  for a 5 year experience Data Engineer. So i resigned on 12 th june 2022. My current CTC is 9 lpa and i asked them 15lpa for retain. Everything is fine from my Capgemini manager and client manager. Only i am expecting HR Call and that will happen next week as my manager said. Any suggestion what will be next CTC ? Thanks All

Hello All,

Recently I was reached out by a recruiter at Meta for ML Engineer role. I have more than 5 years of experience in ML but I am not ready/prepared for an interview at Meta. What should I do? Should I just reject the opportunity or at least give it a try?

If I schedule an interview, can anyone help me with resources which can help me prepare in 15 days or so.
