Played Xbox the other day for the first time in several years. I am terrible now, to be fair I wasn't anything special before. I kind of feel like the game has beaten me and I need to buy one just to practice and beat it. Ha ha

Hi Fishes,
How is the yearly increments/ appraisals at tech mahindra?

What books would you recommend for someone who is just starting out in security and wants to build strong fundamentals?

I have a younger family member (almost 13) who is very interested in cybersecurity. How can this person learn and grow in a safe manner if he/she isn’t near a city with youth clubs and etc? Idea is to reinforce ethics, but this material is far too advanced for the parents.

Im joining Accenture Uk on 19th Aug 2021. Anybody else starting on this date? When does one usually receive the Teams invite / joining instructions for the first day orientation & induction?

How does Strategy & Consulting differ from Business & Tech Integration? It appears to me, looking at the profiles of people in these different divisions, that most of the time at the Consultant-ish level, both divisions are just providing Business Analysts? What am I missing?

I had cleared all the rounds in S&P and had salary discussion 1.5 month back. The HR is always saying the management is on leave and will soon get the approval and release offer. Today she shas asked for one more week to release the offer. Should I wait for it or move on. Are they waiting for some other candidate to join before rejecting me at last moment. Only 10 days of my LWD are left.

How much are 3-5 yr associates making in big law in Denver? I’m a female and one of my male colleagues told me he makes $10k more than me and we received the same score on our annual review

Is it a fail of character leaving biglaw? I want to leave, but despite the constant stress and suffering, I can’t avoid feeling like it’s my fault or that maybe I’m over exaggerating how I feel. All my colleagues feel ridiculously happy, I’m the grinch one that’s never enjoying the grind (but the grind is hard and competitive, very competitive) :( any thoughts? Is there future after quitting biglaw so young?

Love the intensity of the ending, and the machinations of trying to kill off challenges to the throne.

Who’s ready for a big time jump in episode 3?

What a terrible episode. What happened to the tight storytelling? Here’s a list of head scratchers-
1. Wtf was that foot fetish scene for?!
2. Who tf is white worm and why does she care about children?
3. Very hard to believe that large houses with power and gold can be intimidated by a usurper with the threat of violence. If it were that easy, there would literally be no dissent.
4. A member of the kings guard murders a senior council member in cold blood?

I could go on but word limits..

The new actors are amazing, much better than the younger ones. The older Rhaenyra in particular is wonderful!

I haven’t seen such a good head slice since Equilibrium, or the first Underworld movie.

I thought E1 set a solid foundation for the first season. What are your overall thoughts?

The last episode was a snooze fest. After Daemon’s stupid storming of the caves, this was a new low in the series. 1 hour of literally nothing happening except sanctimonious virtue signaling and puzzling logic (Alicent is just forgiven for going behind her back and burrowing her way to Queen consort? Daemon just meekly listening to his brother after those theatrics/heroics in the previous episodes? The king suddenly realizing with perfect clarity how he’s been manipulated by his hand?).

Was anyone else surprised that there were only 10 dragons? The trailers made it seem like there were dozens.

Anyone else let down with the ending of episode 3?

Damon as a character vs. Jamie Lannister? They seem like somewhat analogous characters from the two shows. I feel like a lot of people want Damon to have a similar redemptive arc, but it doesn’t seem likely.

My thoughts are he’s just a generally bad person with some decent qualities. Jamie meanwhile was a generally good person who did many terrible things, especially when we met him.

I did not see that coming. I was convinced Viserys would croak at the finale, last 5 minutes.
