I noticed a lot of Indians do the IIT | Google Ventures | Goldman format, which really translates to IIT | Google Ventures | Goldman | Haven’t really accomplished anything so just keep job hopping | unable to come up with what a summary of what I actually do | just copying everyone else. Then their profile starts with “accomplished product lead with demonstrated success in the tech industry...”
