I'm currently working as a developer with 4 yoe. I'm not a great developer but I get things done.  I have no complaints but often I feel like I don't know what I'm doing in my job. I was thinking about data analyst job which I believe won't require much coding and at the same time, the job pays well. Which domain would be better considering growth in the future. Kindly share your thoughts.

Interview Tips & Stories

One thing I’ve personally learned is that it’s really important not to overtalk during interviews. Once you cross that line, you unknowingly start oversharing. And we often forget that interviewers are actively listening to every single word  not just casually nodding.

In one of my interviews, the person was super friendly, and I got too comfortable. I ended up talking openly about some of my weaknesses… and guess what? He used that against me later. 
So yeah, be mindful of what and how much you share, even if the vibe feels chill.

Avoid overtalking in interviews speaking from experience

Manage finances effectively through discussions on financial management, accounting principles, and regulations.

Finance & Accounting

Why aren't cost audits mandatory for hospitals, colleges, and schools? 🤔

During my CMA journey, I realized these institutions—handling public funds, offering key services, and impacting lives—often lack cost oversight. 

We're seeing disturbing trends, especially in education, where schools and colleges charge a ton for uniforms, activities, transport, etc. 💸

Though non-profits in theory, many act like revenue setups, straining parents. 😔

Shouldn’t transparency and accountability be as crucial here as in manufacturing? 
Why not use regular cost audits to ensure fairness and prevent exploitation? 

Education is a right, not a business. Healthcare is a necessity, not a luxury. 

As CMAs and finance pros, we should push for cost transparency and good governance in public services. ✅

CMAs, aspiring CMAs, and finance folks—what do you think? 🤝

Day to Day Office

Woke up to heavy rain, got ready anyway, reached office and... it’s just me, the security guard, and one confused intern 😂
Apparently, rain = mass WFH mode now.

Anyone else’s office turns into a haunted building the moment it drizzles? Or is it just us pretending to follow “flexible culture”? 👀

Rainy day or unofficial holiday? Office feels like a ghost town today 😅

I work in Nagarro as a Software Engineer.
It's been a little more than 2 years since I joined as a fresher. Salary hikes are not impressive. Trash projects, nobody knows where the company is going. I've been working with really bad liars for the past 2 years. Everyone in this company seems to be treating it as their retirement plan because they offer work from home.

I work on python automation POCs and my team is one of those "Agile" ones with no direction. It can be renamed as "Team ADHD". Their plans change every 4 hours and none of them are engineers, they are consultants (manchilds or scammers would be a good word).

I'm also not able to get other job offers, Hardly got 2 interviews after hundreds of applications across multiple platforms. I do see other people getting better roles in better companies. Not sure what I'm doing wrong. I'm attaching *one of my resumes* in case someone wants to help me out.

Not sure if I should continue

Mumbai got slammed with 100mm+ rain in just 12 hours. IMD's issued an orange alert, Metro Line 3 is down, roads are basically rivers, and the local trains are crawling. A lot of offices are half-empty or fully remote today some companies even let employees crash at work overnight.

And honestly, today was a mess for me too.
Left home at 8:30 AM thinking I could beat the rush. Got stuck at Sion for over an hour, water halfway up my legs. Auto guy ditched me mid-route, and I ended up walking 3 km just to reach an office that had 4 people and no Wi-Fi because of a power cut. 😩

Lesson learned: Never underestimate Mumbai rains, and always keep an extra pair of socks.

Anyone else go through this chaos today? Or did you wisely choose to WFH?

Rained all night in Mumbai! offices half empty today
