Hello Fishes,
I left capegemini on 4th of Feb and I still haven't got my relieving letter as well as experience letter. I'm trying to access my capegemini portal from webvpn.capgemini.com but I'm not able to access that either. Please suggest me what should be done, my next employer is asking for relieving letter.

Staying at my firm and leveraging the relationships and reputation I built instead of jumping firms to chase what at the time was a lot of money and looking back is a very small amount of money
Same thought. I got very close to leaving as an experienced SM for what I thought was a massive raise - almost 40%. I blew way past that by staying and making partner.
Honestly, I would say networking. You never know who you are going to meet along the way. Many of the jobs I have had have come from people I met along the way who referred me.
The key moments for me weren't so much decisions I made as chance meetings and events. I once got a job because I ran into someone I knew and he told me to call a friend who knew of an opening. That sort of thing can really influence your life. It's like the old Dylan line, "The highway is for gamblers, better use your sense, take what you have gathered from coincidence." Some coincidences really matter, if you're open to them.
For me it was a career pivot into the accounting field from retail distribution. The single biggest increase to my income came from the first accounting job after I left retail distribution, and not having to work weekends or major holidays was a plus too!
