I have an interview with large insurance company on one their strategy teams. Really interested in the role. I’m worried I don’t have an MBA and basically don’t have a shot. Any advice on how to prepare or prove myself for the role.

I have an MBA and I don't get strategy roles. It is more about your experience and how you present yourself. MBA means nothing these days, so I wouldn't sweat over it. Just do your best and prep for questions like "What exact strategies you came up with?" etc.

Hello fishes, I have offers from two different companies and both are offering same amount of CTC - 18LPA (YOE: 3.2) . Company names are Pristyn Care and Xiaomi technology india pvt. ltd .

Now for Pristyn Care I won't have to move out of Gurgaon (I'm from north India). Xiaomi is calling me to Bangalore. Rest all the benefits seem similar.

In terms of learning and job security and all the aspects considered, which company should I join?

Please help me decide. Thank you!

Hi fishes, I need some guidance.

I am currently into the SAP Security domain and I absolutely do not have any interest in it. I am planning to shift to development and have started on some courses on my own.

My question is, is there any future prospects in SAP UI5 and Fiori? Since my background is in SAP, I assume it will make a domain switch easier.

Or should I move into the JS-React path since there seems to be a lot of demand? But my worry is about my lack of actual work experience
