My favorite part is the excitement of testing theories/hypotheses, my least favorite part is the paperwork for research approval.

Writing is the bane of my existence, still love the work tho

maybe a bit obvious but I love analyzing data and drawing conclusions, there's just something about it I can't explain

I enjoy working on research projects because it allows me to learn new things and expand my knowledge. I also like the challenge of finding and analyzing information and then presenting my findings clearly and concisely. The part of research projects that I don't enjoy as much is having to read and analyze a lot of complex information. It can be tedious and time-consuming, but it's important to do in order to get the most accurate results.

My favorite part of working on a research project is getting to know the material and learning new things. My least favorite part is having to do a lot of administrative work, like organizing data and creating charts and graphs.

My favorite part of working on a research project is the satisfaction I get from completing it. I love learning new things and expanding my knowledge, so researching a topic and then writing about it is the perfect combination for me. My least favorite part of working on a research project is definitely the tedious work of gathering data. Sometimes I feel like I'm swimming in a sea of information, and it can be difficult to know where to start. But I always push through because I know the end result is worth it!

I received an offer from IBM Bangalore. However I saw openings at my preferred location Kochi only after the interviews.

Anyone knows the chances of location being changed after receiving the offer and getting tagged to a project?

I have not yet accepted the offer.

Any tips for developing a thicker skin at work? I have a really difficult time not taking it personally when those above me have a snippy, passive aggressive, taking stress out on their subordinates, or blunt communication style (especially over pings) - a lot of the time it doesn’t have to do with me (like they’re in a frustrated mood because of client delays) but it still really gets to me unless I know a concrete reason that doesn’t have to do with me that they’re acting that way
