Thoughts on picking between blockchain or RPA for specializing in and why?

RPA has longer-term value (but is a more boring field). Blockchain hype is mostly a fad and once the ecosystem stabilizes for niche applications it will be similar to being a “SQL specialist”.

RPA but I would focus on the broader category of intelligent automation, and not limit yourself to just building bots.

Blockchain has tons of upside potential, but is incredibly technical. If you’ve got the technical chops and like math, do that. RPA is a completely different thing. RPA is just a fancy GUI wrapped around front end testing automation frameworks. Contrary to what other commenters said, I don’t believe RPA has any staying power, it’s a fad that will become irrelevant as better non-“robotic” integrations become commonplace.

Oh I agree that maintaining them will suck, not glamorous work at all. Overall I don’t think being a specialist in a hot tech is a good long-term move. I’ve seen way too much cyclical disruption in my career to bet on any one trend.

I'm thinking company swag, travel to conferences or to meet with clients, leadership retreats, nice offices, vehicles, clothing allowances etc. Curious if there are any benefits to being a leader at any of the other firms. Thanks

Found a random engagement ring.

Hi all, so I found a platinum ring (which I assumed it's an engagement ring as it has dates and initials engraved on top.) And a Divvy tag (I have no idea what it was until I googled it. Apparently it's a bike sharing service in Chicago) in a briefcase I ordered online. I was thinking of returning the item back to the store but that wouldn't help the person who lost the ring. Attached is a picture of them.

What should I do now?

Hi Folks
I have been offered a position of Senior Developer- Senior Associate 1 in PwC AC Bangalore with 19LPA fixed.
I would like to understand what this role is. I am currently a Consultant in EY with 5.8 YoE. Am I being lowballed by PwC? Or is this fair?
Also HR said that I can work from Anywhere so it means I need not relocate. Is this true?
Any clarity would be appreciated!

I love the taste of coffee, but I feel like my consumption goes up, up, up then mixed with the stress of my job i get anxiety and I burn myself out.

Any tips for how to maintain some sort of balance or cut it out for good? I read in the decaf sub Reddit and they act like it’s awful for you but I don’t know how I feel about that.

Movement shot of my Lange Saxonia, with the 941.1. This older movement was released in 1995 (the year after the brand revived), and originally included in the 1815 line of watches. It has a 45hr power reserve, and a diameter of 26mm. Unlike most Lange watches, it is not free sprung

Sometimes I wish my watch had an updated mvmt like the Thin (exposed wheels, 72 hr reserve, free sprung), but others am glad to have what is close to the original Lange design, which was revolutionary at the time
