It’s hard but always remember, comparison is the thief of joy. This type of thing will happen a lot through your career. On any given day, friends will get promoted above you, win more awards than you, buy better houses. But on another day you’ll be the winner and they’ll be jealous. The key is to focus on challenging yourself and enjoying the things you have right now.

I have joined Nagarro almost a year now as a senior architect. However, I see lot of issues here. The company is great so far as employee friendliness is concerned. It may be rated as the top most company in that regard and that is why attrition is well within control. However, there are issues:

1. Project Allocation - allocated to projects without fitment with the role or skills. No internal job portal

2. Lots of seniors in bench for long time

3. No way to give company feedback
