One time I was remote listening in to a VO artist record for a job I was on. When we heard her voice samples, she affected an English accent (think Jony Ive).

When she joined the call, she started speaking in the most midwestern USA accent. I was taken aback


Moral of the story, fake it to get more work :)

I actually worked with an American guy who spent TWO years in Australia and claimed that he ‘lost’ his American accent and can only speak with an Aussie accent. He’s still at it years later despite having been back in the US for a decade and guess what? He’s climbing that corporate ladder just fine.😂

Develop a Muslim accept because you will go further than imagined. They have all the money. It's those with the money that will achieve more when it counts. No more working as hard as one can, with longer hours and initiatives up the yin-yang. Money will carry you much further if you can find access to it. BTW, don't tell anyone how you may have accomplished this!

I have been looking at the curriculums for Harvard Business School's Master of Business Administration and Harvard Extension School's Master's in Management. They both have the same requirements, generally speaking, including a field immersion course that serves as a capstone in the Master's in Management, which is fairly new. If I am not able to gain admission to Harvard Business School, but wanted a similar educational experience to become a consultant, should I attend Harvard Extension?

My American citizen 8 month old is on tourist visa in India; current stay runs out on June 7. Flying outside the country is a risk we don’t want to take w/COVID. Don’t want to overstay the visa either. So we applied online on eFRRO to convert his visa to X-1 so we can apply for his OCI. They didn’t ask for payment and message popped up saying watch your text/email for next steps. Anything else I can do?
