Do not recommend grad degree in this field. Source I got one and it has provided little value. MBA maybe if u get one the super expensive ones from m7 but u would be doing strategy and wouldn’t be hanging with us nerds :)

funny

Don’t mind strategy, I’m at ACN right now too. You think it would be a good jump into MBB?

Leverage all that cyber tech and start focusing on learning the biz - this will give you the business acumen you won’t get from an MBA. This will help you get ahead faster

Sounds banal, but what do you want to do after hypothetical grad school? What’s your goal?

Just make senior manager and u will already be on ur path to CISO.

Hello guys
I'm a software eng with 4 yrs of exp.
I got 2 offer, one is for sen software eng for 23 lpa and another is for sen devops eng 21 lpa.
Since I have interest in devops, I thought of moving into devops and also ppl says that devops have good future.
I agreed but I have a doubt here, whatever the scope u have in devops, in future if I want to change job, the organisation is going to fix the salary based my current package at that time right? Then what is mean scope is good in future??

I’m still in my first year at Deloitte as a campus-hire.

Should I wait it out and see? How do I get connected to try different things at the company?

Hi Everyone,
Any suggestions on networking in the private finance sector?
I recently transitioned from public to private sector finance to be more well-rounded and I’m having a hard time connecting with people in the space.

Networking is hard enough working from home but I know how important it is to make those connections.
