I've heard there's a real nice place you go when you die where the account people all dance around on fire while you drink mint juleps.

Same way I handle the industry doing the same thing—I just focus on what I can control and ignore everything I can’t: everybody thinking they’re a Creative Director, clients requesting work astonished to be told they have to pay for it, and people flat out saying they’re looking for someone younger.

Hello Nagarrians,

I recently joined
Nagarro and got confirmed in project but got rejected in 3rd round of client interview so they released me after a week. Does it mean I was on project or i was on bench?

I've heard they fire people on bench after two months.

I have joined Nagarro almost a year now as a senior architect. However, I see lot of issues here. The company is great so far as employee friendliness is concerned. It may be rated as the top most company in that regard and that is why attrition is well within control. However, there are issues:

1. Project Allocation - allocated to projects without fitment with the role or skills. No internal job portal

2. Lots of seniors in bench for long time

3. No way to give company feedback

Anyone have examples of creative KPIs/goals to measure the impact of PR that go beyond just coverage numbers? I have a client that is a little too black & white with our KPIs. While my team has met the coverage expectations, we want to show the bigger picture impact of the media rel. program - i.e. relationship-building, inbound media opps, organic coverage, inbound sales or web traffic (that one’s probably a stretch).

Hey FishBowl Friends, so I’m currently trying to break into tech sales/FinTech and I feel that due to my previous work history, I might not look like the ideal candidate on paper but I’m an extremely fast learner and very coachable. I’ve been a manger at a gym, got my degree in finance, worked as a client advisor at a top 3 auto dealer in the nation and now I’m a project manager at a solar company. I really want something that’s remote and steady, any recommendations on how to spruce myself up?
