You are either underqualified or you aren't. Your age doesn't effect this. So base your analysis of your readiness for the job on your experience and not how many years you have been alive. What others will think about your age, if they do find out, is out of your control and will vary person to person.

Agree with A1 kick ass and show them what you’ve got to offer if they don’t like it move on!! They’ll do the same, every time no questions asked.

experience is roughly 7/8 years. I’m always worried about feeling like an imposter and under qualified for a role even if I’m passing through interviews with no issues. How should I deal with this? I’m also worried that a company will find out my age and automatically have a bias against me and question my experience.

Hi Sharks,

I'm looking to get some cultural & work insights in @EY GDS Kolkata specifically.

I was recently realigned to Kolkata location although my base location as per offer letter was Bangalore. The relocation HR PoC helped me relocate for now as WFH is going on & I wanted to save money by not changing to Bangalore as of now.

If someone knows EY GDS Kolkata offices, I'll like to know all about it, please. Thank you.
