Is “Hacking the Case Interview” any good?

Hi All,
I joined Tech Mahindra for 5 days only and didn't find suitable timing for my project and emailed resignation mail to manager and HR. After that HR asked me to resign over portal but at the same time blocked my portal. After requesting many times they didn't unblock my portal and pretended like they want to unblock but there is some issue going on and marked my profile absconded. I have cleared fnf but they are not providing reliving letter but added pf amount also. What to do?

PSA: With tax season is around the corner I just wanted to share that CashApp (Square) allows you to e-file individual Federal return and 1 state return for free (with NO income limit), and the best part is it supports ALL essential forms for stocks like 1099s and Sch D (gain loss on stock including crypto). DM if you need a ref code

Nice! You work at PwC?
Senior consultAnt 1 are you still at pwc? Lol

Ahhhh, look at you! Making it to “almost manager” is incredible, these 2 1/2 years have been very incredible for the firm as well. Next stop, Partner 👍

It wasn’t negative OP, it was a joke. I was teasing you about your incredible optimism and I truly hope you keep that optimism. I didn’t, and 1,000 other people here didn’t, but I’m sure you can. You got this!
For a second I thought I opened up Linked In!

Gotta fight off the negativity around here. Who else wants these hands? 💥
Chief
I’ll take some hands 🙌
Don’t be bothered by morons who take the time to negatively comment on posts. They clearly don’t have much going for them. Be proud of yourself and congrats!
I remember trying to get some temp work in the summer before university, and the recruiter chewed my ar$e over how bad some of my grades were. It impacted my confidence for quite some time, but it was all nonsense - got a good degree and have had a successful career so far. People should be more careful with their words, particularly towards those people at the start of their career journeys.

Love this
I still remember when I was in school and went to the campus job fair, there was this RSM guy gave me the coldest stare ever while I was talking to him and smiling, trying to be friendly and make a good impression. Not sure what the guys problem is, but luckily I got into B4. Still remember that guy to this day.
Not you, was staring at that girl behind you
Assistant to the regional manager vibes
I’ve been there too. I couldn’t get any interviews out of school and now the firms all want to talk to me
I couldn’t get interviews with any of the large accounting firms even though I graduated magna cum laude from a prestigious university, but now I’m one of the top subject matter experts in the country at PwC National Tax.
P6 - Haha, not my area of expertise
I had a similar experience where BakerTilly told me I wasn’t good enough and I was feeling really down when I graduated and a lot of people I was friends with in the accounting program went to work there. My first years out of school I always felt looked down on because I ended up at an industry job, but now I work for EY and I’m pretty proud of myself for getting to this point.
I don’t speak to any of those people anymore lol and I moved to a different city. Definitely all worked out for the better in the end
Public accounting is fascinating. People (myself included) get rejected from countless firms out of school and then once u get like 2 yrs experience they suddenly all want to hire u
Happy for you OP, I have a similar feeling albeit from a slightly different angle. I couldn’t even get past first round interviews at any big 4 in undergrad, now their recruiters are beating down my door on LinkedIn. No thank you, I’m living it up in industry now after time spent at a midsize firm.
I had recruiters tell me I was barely good enough for hourly contract work and now I’m up for Partner. Don’t underestimate the underdog!
Just got offer from two of big 4
Still shows that hard work and persistence will pay off in this country.
Good for you - Keep going
U go bro 🥲
Yup. Feels pretty crappy at the moment, but now feels like a dodged bullet.
I was laughed at by a recruiter during a campus hiring event for asking about consulting path. Guy said I'd need to bring years of experience before they'd even consider me. Not sure why they had that as part of the available position at such event then.
I'm thinking sometimes they (recruiter) just don't want to be there and forget that it's no one's but their own fault if they don't like what they do.
