Would love advice on how to acclimate and adjust back to work when I haven’t worked for almost 9 months! At Deloitte for 6 years then moved to industry for 1 year. Got laid off in October last year due to a reorg and revenue loss. I took time to travel and relax then resumed the job hunt in late-Jan, then COVID happened. Landed a great new role in industry which I will start in 2 weeks. I struggle w/ imposter syndrome and am a bit nervous. I’ll be WFH for the rest of the year as well.

Fake it until you make it.

Everyone gets the imposter situation when they’re the new kid on the block. Until the next kid moves in, and then you’ll feel like a vet teaching them the ropes.

Hello everyone,

I wanted to know how long does Course5i take to release an offer, I cleared all rounds last friday and was going to get an offer from HR early this week (by Monday evening or Tuesday) but didn’t get any offer till now.

I loved the role and I am still excited to join the organisation so mailed a follow up to the HR yesterday but did not get any response till now. I do not want to follow up for the next 1-2 days since I feel it would be too pushy from my end.
