I have terrible handwriting. Had to force myself to write more legibly for case interviews for this job but it's still a struggle. I'm a natural cursive writer (one of those). Any advice?

All caps. Practice in all caps. It gets easier. My dad has scribble writing and started doing all caps for things other people see as a twenty something. Eventually it became easier so he can do caps almost as fast as scribbles

Haha I basically type everything but there are times when whiteboards call my name and I can't say no.

Don't write in cursive...

Write in all caps - I'm also a natural cursive writer, letters in caps are fuller so they are distinguishable even if you write with the motor skills of a kindergartener

I interviewed at a law firm and had my final round last Friday. The Tuesday afterward, I got a call from the recruiter saying the firm won’t have a decision for another week. I believe they’re interviewing other candidates. Does that make me second or third choice? And does the fact that I’m working with a recruiter hurt my chances of being selected due to the commission? Should I hold out for the offer or is 1+ week a sign that I won’t be selected?

I have 5 YOE in Analytics... always thought I wanted to be a DS, but every job (even the junior ones) required experience in ML development.

I know the thought process and stuff but 'I' wasn't the one who did that part in the project. How to convince them that I could do the job without taking credit of others.

Need your thoughts.
I am done with my client interview and it went well but they are asking me to come to gugaon location.

When I inform this to my manager he is saying how come u say like this to client.according to kpmg policy u need to travel to anywhere to work.
This is not good right. What should be my reply to the client in such a case and how to handle manager on this?
