How do you all get prepared for meetings that you have to lead and get decisions made? I hate them with a passion and do better one-on-one with a client than a group.

I ask the below question first to myself while preparing and later at the start of the meeting .

Question: what is the outcome we want out of this meeting.

This centers everyone on what to achieve and I use this to navigate and steer the meeting.

I also have a deck or a wiki page that has an outline of the discussion topics, last meeting action items..etc I use this as a meeting minutes to follow up

Hello,
I’m a junior data scientist and in my current job I mostly code using Pyspark (no machine learning) so I would like to work on a side project that could leverage my profile and data science/ML skills. What project would you advice me to work on ? (it can be a kaggle project, or a classic task that you do at your job, or a paper that you read).
I’m overwhelmed by the many suggestions online and would prefer to get a suggestion directly from professionals.
PS : I’m not a beginner.

Hi Everyone what is the pay scale for C2 level in India for Dynamics CRM professional professional.

Hi everyone,

I appeared in L2 round of Capgemini recently.
Just after the intro first question they asked me " Do you have any offer and amount?" This question was asked in technical round.
I'm sure that guy wasn't a Manager.

I don't think he know how to take an interview.

Even after creating 2 asked program and answering 80% of their questions correctly.
Got rejected.
Didn't expect this kind of L2 round from Capgemini.
