What is your previous background in?

I think my main piece of advice comes from an anecdote, I work for a company with a long history, and our greatest idea in the marketing industry came from the longest-serving person in charge of advertising in the past. This person was afraid to expose his "old-fashioned" ideas, but it turned out to be a wonderful idea that the entire department overlooked, and why? because we did not know her, this person studied marketing and had a postgraduate degree in advertising and still has a lot to teach, do not be afraid because of your age, all your knowledge is valid for marketing today.

Do not be afraid to expose your ideas, the 40 years are the new 20.

Hi All, just sharing what on mind to vent it out from my system. Maybe with this I could gain some insights and inspiration.
I have been working as a data scientist since 2018 & have been the bread winner. I have neither been under a proper mentor nor with a team of peers from my field to help me out. I was alone and confused. I have never really got the chance to prove myself which makes me all the more depressed. I'm not sure what to do with my future, indecisive and low on confidence.

Hi Folks,

I've got a job offer from a small IT company. But before releasing the offer letter, they want me to accept a terms and conditions form which has this 10th point as shown in picture. It states failing to join them will result in paying 2 months of salary that's around 130000 rs.

Is it for real? If I get a better offer somewhere else ane don't join them, will I really have to pay this to them? Please help friends. What should I do?
