What role did you apply for?

We really look for people that have led the project hands on. Think lead biz consultant vs project mgr.

My guess is that your resume was heavy on theory and numerical results but light on the details that show that you actually did the work and know how to apply the concepts.

Just my two cents...hard to speculate without more details.

Also....could just be bad luck.

How can we give advice on improving your resume without seeing your resume? I guess general principles apply - show your impact, don’t have it read like a job description. Show numbers, no typos… improved X by Y% by Z, etc etc

Hi All,

Can a Module Lead with C3 take external interviews?

Note : Recently I have joined Mindtree.

What would you choose? MBB (Digital practice) or Amazon PMT?

Background: T15 MBA student, 7YoE as Mech engineer, long term goal is to climb ladder in Tech, married and have a 2year old

Situation: I have a MBB and Amazon PMT offer for summer internship that I need to choose. MBB comes with FT offer, Amazon PMT will most likely result in return offer. If I go with MBB, I plan to exit to big Tech in 2-3 years. Y1 TC for both will be quite similar (around 230k).

Thank you in advance!

I've a question on what sections to put on a regular resume. I see some people are using consulting style resume for outside companies as well.
