Me except I was D & EY. I got CISSP last year and it was a good experience and I’m sure it’s great for my resume but I haven’t had much benefit from it staying at my current employer, it just feels more like a “checklist” item.

I also have no idea where to take my career from here, and looking for high paying roles outside of consulting / fully remote. This may be a common theme and I haven’t seen any good answers.

Have you considered GRC since you want out of IAM? Without checking the cert box, you really have to sell your skills and experience or they'll start you at entry level.

Hi, fishes.
A quick query here.

I'm going to move from non IT profile to IT profile. Basically I'll be applying as front end engineer in new company. Previously I was working in a BPO profile.
Just wanted to ask if I'll be provided training in my initial months as a front end engineer or am I expected to work from the very first day.
Your comments will be really helpful.

Thank you.

Hi all,

I had two technical rounds in tcs last month and now I have got the offer letter from tcs.

But I found one thing unusual that I did not have any salary negotiation call neither any hr round.

They released offer letter directly on ibegin portal with 60% hike on my current ctc .

Should I consider this as a fake recruitement.

Please let me know your thoughts.

Thanks
