We were in the middle of a massive strategy deck review with a notorious micro-manager. Our senior consultant got completely cornered on a flawed metric, paused for a dramatic three seconds, and said, "That's not a math error, it's a contrarian data perspective designed to disrupt your assumptions." The client actually nodded and shut up. What is the most blatant lie you've ever seen a colleague successfully pull off in a meeting?

Hello everyone,

I wanted to know how long does Course5i take to release an offer, I cleared all rounds last friday and was going to get an offer from HR early this week (by Monday evening or Tuesday) but didn’t get any offer till now.

I loved the role and I am still excited to join the organisation so mailed a follow up to the HR yesterday but did not get any response till now. I do not want to follow up for the next 1-2 days since I feel it would be too pushy from my end.
