PwC 1 are you saying even from SA1 to SA2? I’ve heard that’s almost a given.
I understand lower utilization means no chance at 1 or 2

You will probably go SA2, I didn’t start getting B until my fourth year.

Utilization is god in our industry, especially at the SA staff level. Plain and simple. If you don’t meet your utilization target you don’t get promoted no matter how awesome your snapshot and volunteer hours, etc.. are.

You can still move up a cohort

Hi Fishes,

I am looking for the job change in ServiceNow profile and having a experience of 4+ yrs.

Currently I am trying to create network in linked in and naukari but still not getting the response from some companies like JP Morgan or mindtree etc.

Can u help me to understand what is the best way to create a network to some major companies.

I know applying directly to the company site mostly doesn't have any benefit or will take long time to schedule the interview.

I am trying to figure out how to switch to SWE. I have a masters in civil engineering and have a good background in higher level math. It looks like the better coding boot camps are quite expensive. The alternative is another masters in CS which is the same cost as many boot camps. Any recommendations on picking between a coding boot camp and getting another masters degree in CS? I’m looking to get into the best position possible after getting an education in CS (get a job quick and good pay).
