Is Nagarro good to join? I have a fully remote opportunity which I'm pretty sure I can crack. Is the pay and benefits good at Nagarro? Do they provide laptop and test devices or will I have to work on my laptop? Do they give medical insurance etc? What if the project gets over. Do they have enough projects or will I be asked to move to a different technology? Will I be fired if on bench? Nagarro

Thought this was interesting. Across 160 teams of researchers, just about all failed to make good life outcome predictions on things like GPA, evictions, layoffs, and others. Data followed 4.5k families across 15 years, with 13k features (varied over time). Haven't looked at it directly yet, but will be turning the docs and data inside out... In the meantime, authors claim this as showing the limits of ML. Oh, and it's published in PNAS, so you know there's some big publication energy there.

Err, is that how lay offs work?😏
Being laid off without any clear explanation is scary and crushes your sense of self worth. What’s helped me are those coworkers and peers that remind me that my worth is more than a role at Deloitte. Reminding me how I helped them during my time at the firm. As humans our brains are really good at making up stories if we don’t have the facts to know exactly why we were selected. So we tend to blame and shame ourselves or get angry and lash out. Which is totally normal. But having others you trust remind you that this isn’t the end and that it doesn’t erase all the good we brought during our time there fills you up a little after a deflating separation call. Even just checking in helps.
I was at a top tech firm for a while prior to joining Deloitte. They lay off very talented people on a regular basis...usually in very small batches here and there, and larger amounts in drastic times.
Layoffs are a reflection of the market with people being laid off either being a member of a specific business group that is not growing sufficiently or ending up on an outputted list of some algorithm.
It feels like rejection...that’s natural, but it’s not. You are very marketable. Every person I know from my previous employer that’s been laid off has landed on their feet and improved their situation. They were high performers just like you and well educated and trained...and they had the halo effect that comes with having that employer on their resume. You will do very well in the market.
Think good thoughts and believe in yourself. No one in the real world thinks you’re a low performer. Low performers is a consulting term...and it’s weird.
Deloitte operates at an Olympic level...when consultants exit into industry, they usually find how lightweight the real world is. Like an nba player lighting up the pickup courts.
Thank you for your kind thoughts:) I am one of terminated workers. It would be really nice if you could write referral, contact to your network and ask if they are hiring, and once Inna while catch up and let them know that they are still in your network. My colleagues have been helping me so much and I am really grateful about it. Hope positive karma coming back to you:)
