Hi, I hope this message finds you well. I am a young supply chain professional with experience in the FMCG/CPG sector. I have gained hands-on experience working in sourcing, procurement and External Manufacturing at conglomerates such as TE Connectivity, Estee Lauder, Unilever, and most recently, at Kenvue.

I have since left this role at the end of June and am currently searching for my next opportunity. If you have any advice, questions, or just want to connect, feel free to message!

After document verification how many days it takes to release offer letter in TCS

Huh… my company made me drive cross-country with a load that should've been refrigerated, only to be scolded at my destination because said load arrived spoiled. I only transport goods, it's not my job to ensure the quality of said goods!

What part of supply chain management is your favorite? I am partial to procurement, but I know some people prefer to work in warehouses.

Hi all, I’m looking to learn about how one can transition from PwC AC to PwC India.
I joined PwC AC Bangalore as a fresher and have been working here for 13 months.
I was randomly assigned to SAP, but I’ve realised I really want to move away from this and move towards what I originally planned on pursuing i.e. data analysis, I was already well versed in ML and DL with python.
If anyone has made a similar transition, it would be great if you could help me understand how do I go about this.

That was a fun little tremor last night...

Started going to therapy early 2020 and had a few sessions where I really felt like I made a breakthrough and left feeling like I was on cloud 9 after every session. I stopped going (it was the through school and I graduated/covid happened) but recently started again with a new therapist. I am not feeling that “breakthrough” feeling after any of our sessions and see it as more of a burden than helpful - is this a sign that maybe this therapist isn’t for me?

I need to let it out but I’m so fucking proud of myself and I just realized how lucky I got and it took me until just now to see it. I started in the military and it only took 2 months for me to get out and fall into a bottomless hole of depression. My transition went from: $13 an hour part time, separation with the wife, new job at $18 an hour for physical labor, hit with disability diagnosis, then $20 an hour new office job, reconnecting with wife, having 2nd kid, nearly divorcing (cont.)
