Just finished exams. Haven’t liked job for at least a year. Can’t tell if the exam played a key role. Anyone experience better worklife post exam? Not sure I can do another busy season.

It got better bc the exam was one less thing to worry about. But the longer I stayed, the more shit I had to be responsible for which meant busy season still sucked

Yes! I felt like my career finally started!!

Do a year as a senior. You will be far away from school (2 years) that you are finally starting to act independent (hopefully). You can gauge from this point if you want to continue.

I had given Accenture interview on 5th March and on the same day got an email that I cleared the round then salary discussion also happened. But then they didn't release the offer. In the portal status went to " owing to business reasons we foresee some delay in processing your candidature". Also then after multiple followups got an update from HR that they don't have any requirements for the position. Now it's been more than a month what should I do ? Any suggestions would definitely help.
