Advice: fit is important, speak with people

Experience: STEM is good, projects are becoming boring and technical, people are generally nice, good tech capabilities, business was slow, a bit of layoffs / up or out, new performance measurement which is a bit more opaque, great progression, generally a great place to start your career!

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😐
