I agree with M1. I didn’t use a consultant and just followed what M1 has mentioned. Applicant lab helps you to bring the most suitable instances from your life to the essay.
And I did use the applicant lab profile review, it helped me fine tune the goal and rewrite my resume. I reached back with almost 10-15 emails and they were more than happy to help(not complete review, just small clarifications). I wanted to write my own essay without someone steering me away from what I wanted to, later i sent out the essays to alumni for review. Their feedback and couple of rewrites was enough. I used grammarly for all the sentence formation and grammar corrections. At the end, I was more than happy with my essays and I don’t think there is anything better to write. Saved a wholesome 3500$ just on one school😁

Hi Fishes,

I got an offer letter from Mindtree before but they did not meet my salary expectations - hence after informing the recruitment HR i let the offer expire as she promised that she will be sending me another offer soon.

Till last Friday the status of offer was Offer Released and now from Saturday it is Offer in Progress.

Is she working on my revised offer letter ?

Hi guys. Has anyone attended the @Autodesk frontend interview? How was your experience?

I've realized that I keep working 60+ mostly because I suck at things regarding the personal life. My love life sucks, I don't have that many close friends, and don't have a good hobby (mostly in my free time I just pass time).

Have anyone already felt like this? If so, were you able to change? How?

P.s.: 25yo, 1.5yoe (only consulting). Moving to a T2 firm next month and I'd like to start freshly

Hi fishes,
I left hcl in august and have been trying to transfer pf from hcl trust to my epfo account. So this is what i tried:
1. On the epfo website , login and go to Online Services -> One member - one epf account
2. It asks for the MID of previous employer. As per hcl pay slip my pf account number is -GN/GGN/5572/474542
3. I am entering the MID as GNGGN00055720000474542 but getting an error.

Please tell me what am i doing wrong here? Or is there any other way to get the pf transferred?

How important is having a “name brand” on your resume? For context, undergrad at a top 10 non ivy that typically gets less name recognition and work experience at a T2 (LEK, P-EY, Kearney, etc). Feeling like my resume has a lot of silver but not gold. Thinking about switching jobs 2 years into consulting to either startup or small tech company (don’t want to be at FANG). Will adcoms / future job interviewers view this as a downgrade?
