Hello Guys,
I joined Cognizant recently, the project interview calls which I am getting is not from my base location.
I have the location constraint, should I wait for the right opportunity or raise this concern to ADP team so they can look in to it?
As per ADP policy, one should not have any constraints and take the project as FCFS basis.

You sound like you’re very mature and reasonable in not taking it too personally. Another thought is it may be nothing you’re doing, but she’s trying to buffer you from some difficult people or difficult questions from the team. May be a reflection more on the team members than you.
That’s nice of you to say! That’s probably the case. She knows leadership better and is trying to add value to what I’m saying… without knowing that I was about to say it haha
Have you noticed she gives the same response to other PMs? It may be how she displays active listening - I know I’m guilty of one too many “mhh hmms”
If you think it’s passive aggressive - be direct “do you have any questions about this point?”
“Would you prefer more/less detail?”
“Would you like me to skip to the major accomplishments/activities/risks/issues?”
She’s usually on mute for others but unmutes for mine.
In another meeting where I brief upper leadership, she tends to interrupt to talk about the next part of my brief (usually on the next slide).
I don’t think it’s passive aggressive necessarily since she’s generally very nice and helpful.
I think I need to directly address her interruptions and ask if she would like for me to handle the briefs differently. Maybe she’s just trying to assist me or be more involved since I’m new-ish?
Mention neutrally that you notice she interrupts you during briefings and ask if she has feedback on how you’re presenting them.
Ask her! You should simply ask for feedback. You can refer to the most recent example, and simply say how her responses make you feel. She may not even realize she's doing it.
