Most of my wins at work happen in internal ops, like streamlining processes, fixing broken systems, that kind of thing. It's not like I'm closing deals or managing client accounts. How can I make that sound impressive in my application?

Own it. I have a similar background and just applied R2. And got an invite from a top school, dinged from another, 6/8 to go. I showcased why it mattered, how were things before, the actions taken and the results/impact. Lean into your personal narrative/brand and why that is meaningful to you and how you would add value to the different programs.

Being that said, I was honest with myself in that my application might not stack at par with profiles who were managing PnLs.

Internal ops is often more challenging! Think about the skills you leverage to make these things happen. Negotiations, trade offs, engaging with different groups within the business...How might you use those skills in whatever you want to do moving forward.

Can you quantify the impact of the processes you have streamlined? Perhaps you saved ## hours/week or decreased time/cost by ##%?

What impact does fixing broken systems have with others in the company?

Hi All,
I'm joining EY India Technology Consulting in a week. However, EY is also my client, primarily we're involved in the maintenance of their internal user interface.

I can see a non solicitation clause in my current employer's offer letter than I can't join client within 12 months of my termination.

Are this non solicitation clauses followed in reality? Everyone's has been asking me to chill, since I'm joining as scon, not a manager or with any trade secrets. Opinions pls.
