Lol wth. GW practice is the doing extremely well when compared to any other in EY advisory. The work is great. The exposure is great.

SHAME!

Why is it sinking?

You mean just for ey or guidewire specifically

Because I feel gw is doing pretty well

The only account they really have is Farmers - LA, which is hell. People typically quit EY after a stint there. I'd run and not look back. The other accounts are completely mis-managed.

Hello folks,
I am currently in my 2nd year of Computer Science at a Tier-3 college in Bangalore.
I have already started preparing with the goal of landing a product role in 2 years.
I have set a target of completing ~1000 leetcode problems within this time. Will it be sufficient? What other resources do you recommend?
Also, how to get interviews outside of college placements as a fresher?

Thanks

We’re considering adding wearables tracking to pull in health metrics for a wellness app. Let’s say we plan on doing iOS only and one approach is only doing apple health integration, while another is to use a 3rd party aggregator like Validic or Humanapi to integrate once and get access to Fitbit, Oura, WearOS, and tons of other wearables. Which route would you suggest?

Hi all! To qualify for an L1A visa, do you have to be a senior manager / executive level or does it work as long as you’re a manager?

Hi everyone! How did you discuss with your boss all the time you’d be needing to take off for appointments? My boss absolutely hates when people take time off. Company policy is at least a week ahead of time - she says she needs at least 2. Also when someone requests off a couple days in March then a couple days in April for example, she gets annoyed and says they are requesting too much time (even if they have plenty of PTO available).
