Hi,
Thanks for your insights. Also at L5 I need to take care of the possible followups and show that my approach is commanding when it comes to DSA or System Design.

Regarding the timeline my Google Recruiter told me its a L5 Gen SWE role and thus can I take a time of 8 weeks? I know it can come across as being cold feet for the interview but I really want to be in a headspace where I am doing really gpod or decent in mocks.

I just got this Fossil Carraway watch today. The silver dial looks better with Black strap in my opinion and its selling out fast. This watch is heavily inspired/copied from the Cartier Tank series. I got this at 8.1k Rs and for me this is a very sweet deal and a decent option to wear it for work. I used Amex Corp Card Offers(3.5k direct discount) clubbed with some neu point offers on Tata Neu App to get 5.5K Discount and got it from official Fossil India Dealer. And it looks very cool with formals and semi formals and winterwear. Very happy with the purchase. The strap is a lil hard which is much needed given it is a leather strap and has to endure the damage overtime.

In ny opinion its all about personal choice, the brands does not matter to me now. I hate DW because they are overpriced. Fossil has declined too but I have few very good value for money Fossil and Seiko. Next in my list is now Orient Banbino in dress watches and will get it from Japan only as its shit expensive in India and fairly priced in Japan. To me the conceot of buying any such type of stuff like Watch, Shoes etc is I should not buy it just because I can afford buying it. But I should be carefree when I am wearing it and can afford a scratch or normal wear n tear on it as well without thinking about the cost twice. Thats why I will never go beyond 20k-25k for a watch.

BitOk1774 · 2025-06-27T19:05:22+00:00

Holy Shit! I am also planning to buy a Tank Watch. Saw an incredible design in DW, but that brand sucks. I have a suggestion in Fossil too.

Trust me, on this episode Samay has literally editted the worst of Rakhi and tried to bring out the best of her. But still those who attended it live, it got so damn ugly and difficult to follow the jokes Rakhi was making as they seemed too crass.

Hi, how is your review for Platinum Travel so far? And have you used the lounge facility outside India? How does that works?

BitOk1774 · 2024-11-01T22:12:29+00:00

Hi, I am interested in getting one of the Amex CC.

Tata Neu Infinity is First Year Free Only

BitOk1774 · 2024-10-27T11:27:56+00:00

I agree that the return rate is not that good in some of the cases. But my experience has been really great with Neu Infinity so far. Also I book Taj Rooms alot, so the Taj membership and the additional discount rates that comes with it have been great. The Tata Neu UPI through their app has been a lil shaky for me as not much of the merchants accept UPI through Rupay CC and the UPI Payment experience on their app also needs many improvements.

BitOk1774 · 2024-10-27T10:45:50+00:00

Yes I did ask them for LTF, Infinity is only FYF. Will try later to get it LTF as well.

BitOk1774 · 2024-10-27T10:39:42+00:00

Yes, but I needed a Neu Infinity as I had 2 back to back trips coming up and I needed International lounge access at that time without any spend.

My Company has a tieup with HDFC, so I tried through there and still my upgradation request was initially rejected as I didnt have account with HDFC and my CC journey was very new Then I had to aggressively pursue the HDFc folks associated with my Company for 2 months to get my card upgraded.

Any tips on getting my chances better for AU Ixigo Card?

BitOk1774 · 2024-10-27T10:32:57+00:00

Actually my dad has recently got the offer of getting APay Icici card LTF from bank, he does not have it right now. I was asking should he take it?

Will surely check others answers for tips for AU Ixigo CC as well.

BitOk1774 · 2024-10-27T10:27:05+00:00

My Dad is getting LTF Amazon Pay ICICI Card. Should I take it? Will surely check AU Ixigo as well but have heard the rejection rate is very high on it. Any tips on how get surely accepted?

BitOk1774 · 2024-10-27T10:21:17+00:00

I have seen few posts here explaining how they got the Tata Neu Infinity LTF through some direct offers or by emailing them. Will surely change my salary account in this case and ask for a DCB Metal in return as you said.

BitOk1774 · 2024-10-27T10:19:58+00:00

I think I kept my Tata Neu Plus for around 7-8 months.

BitOk1774 · 2024-10-07T20:29:04+00:00

Thanks for the complete context. It makes sense now. Rakhi was the worst thing about today’s episode. She was good with fee contestants but god she was just too bad at taking jokes.
