OP - what do you think your exit ops are? I’d expect an SM to have a starting hypothesis.

How’d you get promo’d and not have a clue?

I mean I’m looking at corp strategy roles in house but don’t know what level id go into since each company has their own structure of Corp strat groups

Probably Director, though it could depend on size of the company and your total YOE

After you are stealth laid off, other than job search, what do you do? I assume they won’t give you work and even if they do, you can politely decline? How do you feel about you are not progressing anymore and seeing other people progressing in their career? I have no intention to make partner, but still feel a bit stuck not doing that much.

Hello everyone,

I wanted to know how long does Course5i take to release an offer, I cleared all rounds last friday and was going to get an offer from HR early this week (by Monday evening or Tuesday) but didn’t get any offer till now.

I loved the role and I am still excited to join the organisation so mailed a follow up to the HR yesterday but did not get any response till now. I do not want to follow up for the next 1-2 days since I feel it would be too pushy from my end.
