What secret from a former job can you reveal now that you no longer work there?

Saw this question on a really old AskReddit thread, and it made for a very interesting read. Learnt that Lancome is exact the same products at Loreal but 20% more expensive.

But most of the things were US related. Got me curious what the Indian version would look like.

Looking to learn some industry secrets, TILs, and more :)

Energy domain - my previous company was selling their Software in the name of AI but all they were doing in the background was manual calculation and Power BI methodologies.
Scam 😆

RMG :

Can’t say all, but most RMG companies secretly run an invisible underground gaming ring through agent accounts ( excluded and non interactive with the normal paying user base), where a shit ton of black money exchanges hands and gets converted to white. I have seen crores changing hands within days, via real estate transfers.

What the... But why do these people use the RMG games to do this? Why not other means?

Is this a possible reason for the govt crackdown or am I overthinking

Adtech background- 40-50% of paid installs from any affiliate campaigns are fraudulent (majority of the internet companies run affiliate campaigns and spend shit ton of money on it).

Most of the marketers know this. Then again, they're chasing numbers and they are hand in glove with all the agencies who execute these campaigns.

Wow! All audience networks are also scammy, idk how big tech ad companies think it’s okay to fool advertisers by getting cheaper clicks from bots

Worked for a marketing company, where Dunzo was a client. Offline/BTL marketing was the service offered.

We paid suttawalas outside IT parks to force their customers into downloading Dunzo and placing a dummy order for a pack of free suttas.

No wonder why Dunzo struggles with retaining users today. Witnessed the problems in field 3-4 years ago and realised it’s more of a hard sell than an organic one.
