So I am a recent college grad looking to work in financial advising/wealth management, but 3 of the companies I have interviewed with start off with zoom group meeting talking about “how much money you can make by building your book of business” and that’s about it. Is this a standard thing? Because it’s really starting to seem like some of the companies are MLM or some kind of scam. I don’t mind working hard or having to start from scratch but I’m just curious if this is an industry standard?

Hello guys, I am a ML Engineer by profession and have recently heard about the AI Centre of Excellence at TCS.

I've that the COE team is supposed to guide TCS employees on client end. However, I've also heard that as they do not generate any profits, TCS moves them to client side as soon as possible.

Could anyone please share some insights about work at the AI COE at TCS? How's the team and how's overall growth in terms of skills and payscale? Are there any drawbacks of joining AI COE?

I spend most of my time writing memos no one will read.
