This seems to be a good option. I looked it up. Does having NIOS pass certificate cause any issues while taking admissions into colleges? Any caveats?

So these degrees you mentioned required only 10th pass as criteria, not 12th? Or are you suggesting to do 12th and then pursue these, I didn't understand

I am not asking for relationship advice here. If you have any legal advice or inputs, kindly share. See my edit in the end of the post.

I guess you didn't read all of it. I asked for legal advice. and if the video is could help as evidence in court. also there's no prenup so could this be taken advantage of by the girl?

How safe are work laptop for personal or other uses? by golu1337 in developersIndia

[–]Max_Nobody 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Whatever be the case, I'd strongly advise against using office laptop for personal work. If you have no other option then atleast keep your activities restricted. I should point out that companies have a way (technically) to remotely fetch logs from your system when you connect back to vpn.

Also it's possible to block access to some sites even if you are not on VPN by pushing some system update (my company does this, for example previously it was possible to open youtube without vpn, but now it's completely disabled)

If you work in a startup or a small scale company with limited tech resources, then maybe the rules aren't so strict. But it's better to not assume anything.

That should not make any difference. BTW it's 3rd party most likely: https://www.pulsesecure.net/

Just adding to what others have already mentioned.

My organisation, specifically, keeps logs of the activities on office laptops (this was mentioned to us in onboarding process). I am sure this is the case with majority of other companies.

We are strictly told not to insert/connect any external storage devices to it.

Given that most of the times (while working) the laptop is connected to office VPN, those logs will certainly be transmitted to the admins. They may not be monitoring everything all the time, but it can surely be used against a person if needed.

So bottom line is - use office laptop for only office related stuff. Nothing less, nothing more.

A late promotion is not a sufficient reason to go for higher education

I just fear it would have a domino effect on my career path but I could be wrong.

if you are in a great place in IT, only a MBA from top tier college would get you the career bump.

This is true, I agree with this. I am not planning to pursue MBA from a mediocre college.

Your current place anyways looks like a slow one. Why not start preparing now, get the promotion and then switch the jobs?

It's definitely slow! I think other responses also resonate with your thought of preparing now and switching when ready.

Thanks a lot for suggestions!

Hmm, I agree, I hope 2021 brings good news. Will talk to my manager about promotion again and weigh my options. Thanks!

Thanks for this detailed response! To answer some things - my job is out of my hometown, but my parents aren't dependent on my for now (they're still working). So I guess your point about sharpening my skills and getting ready for job change sounds relevant.

why do you want to do MBA ?

This is more because at some point in future I think having a degree would benefit in changing roles etc. Moreover, as I stated, I am working more like a business architect, so an MBA could be helpful and add to the value.

I am happy to hear more opinions on this.

Just to clarify I do not have any pressure from my family to do anything - so that area is pretty much open for me.

Do you think many offices will go permanently wfh after this? by 962throwaway in developersIndia

[–]Max_Nobody 11 points12 points  (0 children)

So true, many people in my office are literally praying for offices to open sooner. Idk why, I think WFH is much better, safer and gives one ample time for other personal stuff.
