How do you get better at leading a conversation? Client dinner went off the rails when the CEO started ranting about politics. (I did not bring them up, he did). I just wanted to close the deal, not debate world issues.

I prepared a presentation for an interview with a sales leader, it went well and I was offered a final interview with regional manager. The sales leader I interviewed with gave me a bunch of feedback, but said to find out information about tech stack, which I for some reason, didn’t consider. I come to find out that deep, hidden within the website of the hypothetical client, they use the service already. Do I roll into the final interview and play dumb or do i present and then come clean?

We have a project that would generate social impact, and our short term goal is to propose it to ASHOKA to help us develop it. Before that we would like to assemble a team that will be part of "the board" with all the resources we are needind and most importantly people that "empathically share our preoccupation for the immigrants". Any kind of feedback or volunteer would be appreciated.

Hey Fishes,

Will ECBA (Entry Certificate Business Analyst) certification by IIBA be helpful to me in my career ?

My background-
* B.E in Computer science
* MBA in Systems and Analytics (2019-21)
* It's been 6 months I am working as an Analyst- Data science at Infosys

Hi all. I’m looking for a referral at Roland Berger in Canada regarding an open role. This is a long shot but can anyone provide an introduction? Happy to share details over PM.

Hey Fishes. I wanted to understand one thing.

When you apply for any opportunity, how well versed should you be with all the things mentioned in a JD, like certification, experience, some tools and technology, coding language. Do you see a 100% fit before you apply or go for the opportunity if you see the responsibilities meeting your expectation and know only like 60% of the expected or desired skills.

Have you been selected if in case you applied knowing you meet less criterias?
