Skill & Potential

What is one extremely important skill/quality to possess to be a good founder?

Hello everyone I am fresher looking for the job. I am looking for these role Data analyst, product analyst, business analyst and product manager. How can i upskill and what are the areas I have to upskill myself. I want to know the answer from a senior and experienced person.

What's a professional skill you thought you'd use all the time but rarely do?

I'm a final year student studying engineering in a tier 3 college, I always indulged in many extra circular activities, l published paper, club activities, was a facilitator conducted many events related to technology, also made awesome project throughout my engineering life, was also awarded for my projects college wise also in state wise under specific domain, no matter what, I always Delivered my part of the work on time, and even I was excellent in my academics, maintaining above 9 cgpa, I did all such things so that I can get a nice offer at some company, but I really hated how it turned out, incampus needs luck than skill, people will copy in there OA, and I've seen so many got there offers even though they did nothing impressive, I've seen people with no tech knowledge bag up a huge package, while I would get rejected everytime. I am really depressed I feel like that my efforts are being made a joke by all the selected people. I feel that I've wasted my engineering life with all those extra activities.

I have three younger cousins. They don't want to code. They have their clarity. They don't want to pursue any particular engineering stream as well. They want to get a decent paying job. Let's say 6-8 lpa start with a path to 15-20 lpa in 4-5 years. I tried advising them to not invest a lot of money and four years of time in engineering. Their family is average middle class financially. I told them that I'll advise you what all to learn like content writing, seo, data analytics etc. So do a simple course, save money and rather invest in something that matters for job. They did listen but did not get confidence to act. All three went for engineering stream. These are private colleges with tier 3ish names. Now they don't get time to put a lot of time because 8-4 is usually college time. Unlike tier 1,2 college where you get campus and a lot of freedom, the colleges usually have a lot of classes and compulsory 80% type attendance. Did you face similar situation? What did you advise? Do you think I was giving them right decision?

My entry-level job requires 5 years of experience. How are new grads supposed to break into the workforce? I have a degree, internships, and volunteer work, but apparently that's not enough anymore. Are we all just supposed to lie on our resumes? Fellow job seekers, how are you navigating the experience

Talent is overrated
