I think I’m truly completely drained of any inspiration or interest in my job and my industry. I know I could try a new place but the idea of being upbeat and positive during interviews makes me feel even more anxious and depressed. Not sure what to do and too afraid to quit without a plan.

Been there. It’s not a fun cycle to be trapped in. Sorry friend. The only way I’ve gotten out of it is to try to create some mental space with stuff like exercise and letting myself be okay with giving the best I can in the moment vs letting my perfectionist tendencies rule the narrative.

Hello Fishes,

So far I received offers from PwC India, Capgemini and Lexmark for Data Engineering.

More are in pipeline from KPMG GS, TechM, Accenture.

But one peculiar thing is happening. I have appeared for 4 Cognizant interviews but in all I have been rejected. Whereas most of my friends had easily cleared Cognizant. I am switching tech, so I am a bit concerned like whether my knowledge is too shallow😐

Is it sign of an Imposter Syndrome 🥺

Pls help🙏🏾

How do you get experience when no one will hire you? I wouldn’t mind hanging a shingle but I feel it’d be irresponsible to do so with no experience. Unlike all of my classmates, I never landed an internship/externship in law school - had only one interview. I was a PT law student, came from a CS background, and worked in IT throughout law school. I passed the bar exam on my first try (Oct 2020) and have only had a couple interviews out of the hundreds of applications I sent out. Any suggestions?

I emailed the other companies I'm interviewing with to see if the process could be expedited and (1/2)

Hello,
Any HR from Accenture who can consider my profile for Qliksense developer (6years experience). I have been trying for this company for more than 2 years now but not even a single interview was scheduled. Worse part is if the profile is already in the system, it doesnot consider it for other jobs. I can see a lot of postings in job site but cannot apply in those.

Any help would be appreciated.
