I could really use some advice on how everyone stayed motivated when they were starting out in the strategist field.

To be transparent….I’ve been in this role for a little over a year, and lately I’ve been feeling like I made the biggest mistake of my career 😔. I’ve never doubted myself more professionally, and could really use some advice on how other strategist stayed motivated in the beginning.

Hi! I have been seriously applying for weeks upon weeks for a scrum master position/agile coach. But it’s hard getting an offer 😢

Hi fishes,

I have the following 2 offers..

Cognizant- 21L fixed and 1.5L variable
PWC - 22L fixed

This is for a guidewire role.
Which is a better offer? What would be a good option for growth wrt role, salary etc.
Also, PWC claims to offer variable based on their fixed CTC based on the ratings.. is this true ? How much is the avg percentage given?

Thanks in advance!
