If you are in pre-sales or solution engineering at a tech company pursuing an MBA, I’m curious about what your plans are post graduation. I already got accepted to a program (Darden EMBA) but I have no clue now after going from consulting to pre-sales engineering.

Crossposted. Looking for advice. I’ve got 10+ years as an attorney and have been trying to go in house for over a year. I have a generalist background (although I’m primarily a litigator) and was a partner at an Amlaw 100 firm. I’ve had my resume reviewed and keep getting great feedback. Not getting many interviews and when I do, I’m not getting offers despite positive interviews. How do I differentiate myself? Should I get some sort of certification or specialty? This is getting depressing.

Hi fishes,
I am 2021 passout and currently working at Infosys as dse with 6.2Lpa since past 1.2yrs. Here I got trained on MERN but never got any project related to it, although I am interested in the same. At present, my manager assigned me in Equinox team where I'm getting training on a tool for just how to use it.
I've talked to my manager but he is kind of rude so no meaningful discussion happened.
Now I want to switch? How should I plan and what things should I learn to look for switch?
