Find a company you'd like to work for with offices in both US and UK, then apply to the US office and transfer after a year or so? Big 4 spring to mind...

Depends on what you want to do though, and how many YOE you have after MBA - if you want to go down the IB route, it could be challenging if you're too far out

Nobody cares about MBAs in the UK in finance. Maybe in consulting? Best thing to do is transfer over with your existing company and then after a year or two, find a new company. But pay attention to your visa type as an ICT won’t let you leave the company you transfer with.

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🙏🏾

Makes me wonder if companies are really enjoying so called great resignation period. What's the thought ?
