When comparing the curriculums for the FRM and the CFA I’d say the FRM has a lot more relevant content for Banking. Can’t say how clients or superiors will regard it. My boss has both but he’s just collecting titles for fun now it seems…

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🙏🏾
