Hi fishes,

Can you help me out with this- I have two opportunities at hand as a Manager in Genpact and Infosys BPM? Which one would be better in terms of career progression and value addition to my profile?

Working on some law firm applications tonight and it sucks that I know that I am so capable and have a strong work ethic but firms can’t see beyond grades or the fact that I didn’t go to a t14 law school or prestigious undergrad. I’ve worked twice as hard and feel like I’ve barely even gotten half as much. It’s discouraging sometimes especially because I worked so hard with pretty much no guidance (first gen, poc, low-income) to get into college and do well and then get into a t30 law school

how do we get out?! i’ve been doing office work in a grocery store for too long… this was supposed to help me transition out of hospitality but it feels like i’m going to be stuck in a grocery store for the rest of my career

Hello! I look forward to engaging in rich conversations about how to improve overall climate and culture in schools. I am in the climate and culture committee and I look forward sharing ideas

Our district is so lax on the students this year. With tech issues and distance learning days, we’ve gone from accommodating to enabling real quick. No penalties for late work, taking excuses for attendance, lower academic and behavioral standards... We were beginning to make so much progress on transforming our school culture, but this year is erasing that and then some. Is anyone else concerned about how to raise the expectations and students’ self-discipline back to pre-enabling levels?

What are some good tech companies that aren’t the typical ones you think of (FAANG).

Hello! Very little action in this bowl but it’s worth a shot. I’m considering interviewing with Alpha and would like to know what the culture is like in the US offices. Seems suspect based on comments below. If anyone can speak to this, please lmk.
