Basically the title...

Please dm. I have few questions.

They say the candidate will work for a specific Big4 just not on their payroll. This setup sounds a bit weird, like work of big4 but salary slips of third-party. Has anyone worked in that setup? How are such people treated by teammates on Big4 payroll? Is it treated as Big4 experience later on?

Also, from the firm's perspective, is there any purpose of this other than easily disposable manpower?

कसला जबरदस्त चित्रपट आहे. बघायला एवढा उशीर झाला याचंच वाईट वाटतं. विषय तसा नाजूक आणि भावनेचा, पण उत्तम लेखन. कुठेही कोणाला जाणूनबुजून टारगेट केलेलं नाही. बाकी कलाकार उत्तम आहेतच पण तो बालकलाकार आर्य आढाव (भान्या), काय काम केलंय मुलाने! खासकरून शेवटच्या प्रसंगात, खरोखरच उत्कृष्ट. एवढ्या लहान वयात असा सीन देणं सोपं नाही. काय बोलू अजून!

So recently I contacted a recruiter at PwC for technology risk role they had posted. Response was "It is for CAs only" (Chartered Accountants). It was such a funny thing to hear as a software engineer with cybersecurity and technical risk experience myself! Only until I checked profiles of some employees (associates to partners) at PwC. We have accountants giving assurance about technology! Few of them have CISA. Still such a joke that single exam beats 4 years of full-time dedicated study. I don't understand how is this even legal.

At another firm interview for similar role, that partner spent half of time in asking SAP report names, how to extract reports from SAP and some TCodes. Again, a Chartered Accountant partner.

After 7 months of exhausting run through this recruiting hell, finally landed a decent offer. Little less on financial end, will have to enforce strict expense control. Still something better than nothing.

Cheers to everyone who checked on me on DM after reading some of my depressed comments.

Hope something good comes out of this.

I know, there's no way she can win it. But that will serve an important purpose to West Bengal and nation.

EC will have to justify CRPF deployment in court. That exercise will bring on judicial record all the heinous things TMC goons did after 2021 elections and how they compromised fairness of elections in recent years. All the intimidations, coercions and wrongdoings will come on judicial record.

Judicial record is too difficult to dismiss as 'political vendetta' or 'propaganda' since it is based on well documented facts and evidences presented in the court. I can't explain exactly how, but bringing this case on judicial record will be landmark for our electoral history.

There is an opinion floating around, that 'Dhurandhar is propaganda'. I recently watched a 2023 movie 'Kandahar'. And man! Movie is bad, but what a blatant propaganda it is!

For example, this ISI agent (played by Ali Fazal) meets an Afghan kid. The kid is telling how he is following word of Allah by working for Taliban. Ali asks him if he has read Quran. When the kid responds negative, Ali goes on to say something to effect that if the kid reads Quran then he will realize how different it is. Point is not what's written in Quran, point is a fucking ISI agent giving gyan on 'violence is bad and against Quran'. Other fun sequence is the duo, protagonist and his Afghan translator are on run in a desert, they just evaded Iranian helicopter attack few minutes back, they have to hurry to catch last British plane leaving Kandahar and in middle of desert, that translator goes 'I have to pray'!

Bollywood didn't have its own conciousness, it was ruled by brown sahebs who looked up to following western narratives to get western recognition. S. S. Rajamouli, Aditya Dhar, Vivek Agnihotri these are people having their own conciousness which is not built for western approval, but for indigenity in storytelling by means of movies. Want to call it propaganda? Indigenous propaganda is always preferable over foreign narratives.
