At a high level, let me know how we could leverage your background to add value to the engagement. No need to boil the ocean, just tell me your capacity to support the engagement and where you could identify some low hanging fruit for a quick win

A patient was at her doctor's office after undergoing a complete physical exam.

The doctor said, "I have some very grave news for you. You only have six months to live." "Oh doctor, what should I do?", the patient asked. The doctor replied, "Marry a management consultant." "Will that make me live longer?" asked the patient. "No," said the doctor, "but it will SEEM longer."

Hello Fishes,

I have an offer from HSBC. My account manager (not my manager) is talking for retention. I have asked 2l more than what it was offered in HSBC or on-site. He told me he will can try for Malaysia or Singapore or hike.

My offer is 20 lpa
I have asked for 24 lpa ( yet to get confirmation)

Should I stay back if they offer 24 lpa/ Singapore or go with my HSBC offer

My temp contract has been extended. I’m relieved to be able to pay the bills, but after giving 70-80 shots a day, I literally dream about giving vaccines almost every night!
