Justice League removing Cavill's mustache in post gave him that melted-upper-lip look and I've never been able to unsee it. Made me realize how much our brains lock onto mouths specifically, the second something's off around the lips, the whole face reads as fake.

What's your most distracting example? Bad ADR, weird CGI mouth, a dub that broke immersion, anything where the mouth ruined it for you.

I noticed things going south in april like minor budget pauses, manager going quiet about the next appraisal cycle etc. Everyone around me said i was being paranoid. Maybe I was but i decided if i was right, i wasn't going to start from zero on day one.

So for 3 months, my 2nd job has been my jobhunt: fixed my resume properly for the first time in 6 years. rebuilt my linkedin profile. Reconnected with old coworkers before i needed anything from them, just compliments on what they’ve been sharing. Started interviewing casually in june, saved upto 4 months of living expenses.

Yesterday morning: "your role has been impacted."

And the strangest thing happened. and i was not scared - i read the email twice, shut the laptop, and went for a walk because i already had two final rounds scheduled this week and a recruiter waiting on my availability for a third.

i'm not posting this to humblebrag. its that anything can happen anytime. if you see telltale signs, start prepping.

bye, peace out.

1/ go in and introduce yourself in person. security told me to apply online. twice.

2/ send a thank you note after the interview. rejection email 4 hours later. the thank you note is still sitting in their inbox, unread probably

3/ tailor your resume with keywords for every single application. using tools like careerflow and teal

4/ any experience counts, do volunteer work, side gigs. three separate employers told me, in these exact words, that it "doesn't count as real experience

5/ just get any job in the meantime. retail store manager said i was overqualified and would leave. he's right. i would. still needed the money though

6/do mock interviews via careerflow to sharpen your skills. everyone says my interviewing is great. 0 offers.

7/ dress well and be groomed for interviews. interview was a 15 min phone screen where she mispronounced my name and asked if i was ok with 20% less than the posted range.

atp i'm convinced the advice isn't the problem, the system the advice was written for just doesn't exist anymore.

What's the one piece of classic advice that failed hardest for you?

Duolingo been around for a while but I see airlearn also popup these days alongside some new apps like memrise etc. the daily lesson format honestly appeals to me more than just doing random puzzles but before i commit is it actually teaching something or surface level? PREMIUM USERS GIVE REVIEW PLS.

I have a 8 month old gap and a half-pivot, so functional format is tempting to bury the timeline but whatever i read about ATS systems tells me that they dont give a f, functional resumes are dumped immediately.

Is this true, or outdated advice? What's actually getting people interviews right now, and if i go chronological, how do i handle the gap?

Does any of you have personal experience from consultation? Please tell me about it. Also if amyone can share particular doctor's recommendation.

Basically want to know about surgeries there.

Saw Nikhil Kamath (billionaire) recently say that if you’re 25 and doing an MBA, you must be some kind of idiot.

I get where he’s coming from. For some people, especially founders or those already on a fast career track, stepping out for 2 years might not make sense. But calling everyone pursuing an MBA at 25 an idiot feels overly simplistic. Plenty of people use an MBA to switch careers, move diff countries, build a network, or access opportunities they wouldn’t otherwise get.

MBA is relevant to age? ROI or career goals or what?

I really need some advice here, not the general stay calm, meditate, give your mind a break nonsense.

i prepped, i knew what the jobs needed, but the second they asked a question my brain refused to respond. And this has happened twice in two weeks and i walked out knowing i had the answer the whole time 💀

I think the issue is i’m running like 5 interviews at once and i mix up which company does what + what i already told who, so i freeze trying to remember which conversation i’m even in.

For ppl who have given lot of interviews, pls help and lmk what helped you?

Did you all see the placement reports, top recruiters, avg ctc that beats some IIMs in certain cohorts. Friends in older, more established b-schools aren't close to these numbers.

​

Are these clean roles or is there padding happening? like family biz placements counted as offers, esops + joining bonus inflating the ctc, internships dressed up as ft conversions?

​

Not trying to hate, but who is bringing all these companies?

I know I am underpaid by ~25% vs market, based on what friends in similar roles are getting. The manager is good, and so is the work. The fact that I bring the most revenue in the team, makes me wanna ask for it. My friends tell me to jump ship and get a 40-50% bump. But I’m not sure, I kinda like it here.

Has anyone gotten a meaningful out of turn raise (20%+) when deserved by just asking, or do you need an outside offer in hand to even start the conversation? Or maybe just wait for the yearly performance review?

These are the two top serums that have been used by every brand and creator out there, i really didnt know what or how they were different and was always confused as to which is used for what because at the end the main claim was to make skin brighter lol. Here is an in depth breakdown:

Niacinamide is water soluble  Vitamin b3 that works by stopping pigment from reaching the surface of your skin cells rather than halting its production entirely. It actively reinforces your skin barrier by boosting ceramide production and regulates sebum output, calms redness. So it’s focus is not to alter the base problem but fix what’s already wrong.

Vitamin C is a potent antioxidant whose primary job is neutralising free radicals like those generated by UV exposure and pollution that trigger pigmentation. It goes a step further than niacinamide by actually inhibiting tyrosinase that hits the source and halts production rather than just stopping new ones from forming. It also directly stimulates collagen synthesis.

Downside

Niacinamide: it can purge your skin and cause irritation and redness also it doesnot do anything to break down the pigment already there. But it is highly stable.

Vitamic C: potent serum can cause an allergic reaction if not used properly, and also it oxidises really fast, which can cause more harm than good.
