I need to know if 1. it's possible for me to transition to a PM role in the next 4 years and 2. if yes, how? Thanks already for reading this far, have a good day!

Hi All, I have an urgent query regarding TCS BGC process. My issue is that I have worked in X, Y and Z companies.
In X company I worked for 26months but my pf account is there for last 13months, before that my salary was very low so sometimes I got salary in hand or in pay cheque. I do have salary account statement for most of the months except 3-4 months in between my tenure. Will I face any issue for this?
Note: I do have good relationship with X company.
Please give your valuable suggestions.

Hello Fishes,

So far I received offers from PwC India, Capgemini and Lexmark for Data Engineering.

More are in pipeline from KPMG GS, TechM, Accenture.

But one peculiar thing is happening. I have appeared for 4 Cognizant interviews but in all I have been rejected. Whereas most of my friends had easily cleared Cognizant. I am switching tech, so I am a bit concerned like whether my knowledge is too shallow😐

Is it sign of an Imposter Syndrome 🥺

Pls help🙏🏾

What’s the most reliable bmw 3 series after the year 2000?

24k miles on my SQ5 and it’s telling me the brake pads needs to be replaced. Is this normal? Aren’t they supposed to last longer than that?

Hi folks. Looking to buy my first car. We looked at Mazda CX 5/50,Kia Sportage and Sorento and Hyundai Santa Fe. I love the new Sportage. Any downsides of owning Kia and can anyone share their exp.

Looking for a second car (we’re leaving NY for a lower cost of living). We already have alate model Q5. Budget is <= 35k. Prefer used/CPO. Kind of all over the place - considering ram 1500 crew cab, M240i, Volvo S60 T5. I love cars but haven’t been able to have one in ~5 years and now I want everything all at once. Open to any and all suggestions.

So, I’m considering buying a 987 GT4 as a Friday/weekend car.
Any owners out here wanting to share opinions? Things to be mindful of?
I feel like stick is the right option, despite the gearing ratio. Agree?
How is the seating position for a 5”11, 180 pound in the bucket seats?
Yes, I will be testing it the car, but just trying to gather preliminary feedback.

Any idea what will happen to the classic car market as a result of the war in the Ukraine? Are prices going to come down or will classic cars be considered “safe” investments during this time of crisis?

Obviously all speculation, just curious what others are anticipating or have experienced.

(I am fully aware that this is not the most pressing issue, so don’t jump on me for posing the question.)

General optimum age and mileage for buying a used car?

model 3 vs the model s? I drove both and actually like the handling of the 3 better. I live in a city so the 3 would be much easier to park and move around. Cargo space seems fine. And it’s so much cheaper. What am I missing? If I wasn’t that concerned about the $ would I be silly to go for the 3?

iX3 in 6 months vs i40 in 24 months?
All things equal except delivery time what would you do?
I am a fan of the i40 but 2 years of waiting? FML!

What’s your favorite truck on the market right now (full or mid)?
Finally decided to get a truck (for various reasons, I’ll spare you the details). I really like Tacomas, but I’m 6’3, 230lbs and it kind of feels too small/narrow when I’m sitting in it. Not sure I need a full size truck, although I would love one! TIA

Will be in the market for a car in a month or so - narrowed down to Mazda CX 50 Turbo but the BMW X3 is only around $5k more compared to the Mazda Turbo trim I liked. Torn between these 2, would really appreciate any advice/insight in making this decision in regards to longterm ownership, rate of depreciation and maintenance.

Who are worse: Altima drivers or Dodge Journey drivers?

How to best calculate the loss of value(diminished value)to my car due an accident? Insurance agency quoted a really lower amount.

Do bank managers/loan officers at local branches have any sway in approving loans? I live in a small Midwest town would it be better to go to my local bank and see if people I know there can get a better rate etc on an auto loan?

Thoughts on buying an older Aston Martin? (mid-late 2000s DB9, V8 Vantage, etc.)

Has anyone made the move from a modern vehicle to buying something older and less practical due to their decreased commute or need for a vehicle due to covid? If so, what’d you get and are you happy with the decision?

The new X7 looks like a faakin’ Kia….

Can we consider cars from the 90s to be classics?

Sub question: what's your favorite 90s-era car? Extra points for pics.
