Is now a good time to buy VTI?
Pro
Hello Guys,
I joined Cognizant recently, the project interview calls which I am getting is not from my base location.
I have the location constraint, should I wait for the right opportunity or raise this concern to ADP team so they can look in to it?
As per ADP policy, one should not have any constraints and take the project as FCFS basis.

^^^^^omg AD1 go away this is exactly the problem with sexism in this industry. Who cares what age or gender you are? ASK 👏FOR 👏THAT 👏MENTOR👏 You have just as much of a right to follow up on your conversation as anyone else would.
What do you have to lose?
Don’t do it! If you send a potentially awkward communication by email or social media platform, somewhere on earth a ghost pops out of an unmarked garbage can and devours any bystanders, kind of like at the end of Indiana Jones and Raiders of the Lost Ark. For the love of god do not take that chance!
well now you have to do it just for this reason ^
Yeah, why not?
I'm not sure you understood my point or maybe you did and totally disagree. I meant he may not have been genuine in offering help in a very specific scenario, so just keep that in mind and be aware. I don't think you should be paranoid about people. But in a very specific situations, depending on circumstances, be cautiously optimistic. Some senior men like to flirt with female candidates and offer to connect later to give you "career advice". It was a side note based on some personal stories from friends.
I have no idea what OP's situation is.
SS1, don't tell people to go away unless you know everything about everything. You're not a moral expert so tone down the rude replying.
Even if he's not genuine OP should still feel able to pursue a conversation and feel it out themselves without being held back by an age or gender difference. It IS sexist to suggest otherwise. There are few women in leadership positions so suggesting that young women should not reach out to older men as mentors means fewer mentors available and is ultimately harmful to our careers. I stand by my comment AD1.
As long as you're not, say, a young woman and he's not a much older married man, sure... I hope he remembers you and was genuine in offering help. Also, you didn't get the job because they sensed you weren't really into it in your heart, which he basically stated. Our confidence shows and people sense when you're not that excited about stuff.
Follow up out of fear that it could hurt my chances of getting hired which is silly bc I still didn’t get the gig anyway. I just recently found him on LinkedIn and connected and would like his guidance. Is it worth it to message him?
do it
OP, ignore AD1. But holy shit if ACD1 is right, be careful! 😳
Oh God... Thanks for explaining to me about how life works, about OP's free will to make their own decisions, about sexism, and about sharing life experiences on social media while crowd sourcing others' opinions. You can go on all you want, but you not only inferred way too much and in the wrong direction, projecting your own interpretation of my meaning, but you're rude and that's a fact (hopefully only here because this is anonymous and many people feel free reign to act shitty). Which is my only point to you.
Either of your agencies need a search strategist??
