I’d build housing rehabs for people who are down on their luck and help re-integrate them into society in a successful manner. Also teach adults to read.

Grew up poor and saw a lot of people around me loosing out on opportunities because of generational deficiencies (theirs parents didn’t know how to read, budget, etc) and it had lots of trickle down effects (homelessness, domestic abuse etc) so I’ve always wanted to improve that for my hometown and country in general. Still something I’d like to do when I get a bit more financially stable.

Nice on getting that divemaster cert! True it probably must get a bit repetitive like too much of anything in life.

Ideally I could switching diving locations to keep it interesting. And maybe mix it up with some ski instructor gig in winter 😄

Any thoughts around how to use M&A tax skills for the better good? I’m a CPA and originally got into this for a stable / interesting job, but in the long-term I’d like to do something that either influences drafting of tax legislation or helps the public (however naive that may sound). Perhaps I’ve gotten too introspective during the pandemic. Don’t really want to go back for a JD and aside from keeping a roof over my head I’m not very motivated by money. Anyone else have similar ideas?

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 🥺
