Lol. Things I've taken from the responses - 1) people assume being south Asian means you work in technology. (I don't) and 2) Wondering if EY1 is the same islamophobic deuche talking shit in the other thread. Thanks for the feedback fellas, minus David Duke Aka EY1

When you look at statistics of business school admissions look at the 75% percentile and not the average. Also it's important to be differentiated in terms of experience and volunteer work. Being an Indian IT drone is way too typical.

Definitely at least somewhat disadvantaged. I know a couple guys who got into business schools that were ranked around #15 and neither had amazing GMAT scores, but it was definitely harder for them. Then again, I also know another guy who somehow got into Kellogg round 3, although he had a good GMAT. Thy all came from SAP too - I think it makes a difference if you come from S&O. It's easier to get in to a lot of schools from strategy instead of tech.

Very. south asians are disadvantaged at everything, jobs women, college appa etc. until they put an end to bickering and self depreciating their background and start standing up for themselves

Hi folks, need guidance. Skill - . Net + azure and YOE - 4.

After two tech round received email for documents. HR said that she will discuss regarding my expected offer with the team after receiving documents from my side which I sent yesterday.
Today evening I got technical interview assigned mail with meeting invitation for today afternoon itself. It is very confusing to me.

Are they trying to take my one more round of interview? I was hoping to get offer after sending documents.

How can entry-level candidates stand out during the interview process?

I'm not good at my tech stack. I've somehow managed to perform all my tasks without any escalation/blunders but that also by some help/googling.
I also managed to switch from an Indian mnc to a reputed company and now also somehow cleared a FAANG interview,but i know I'm not much knowledgeable in my tech .

I often fail at some interviews badly.
Not sure till when I'll be able to carry forward by this and the hard wlb at FAANG companies is giving me a fear.
