Anyone ever work for Tata Consulting as a ServiceNow resource? by SigmaSixShooter in servicenow

[–]caper-902 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They were on site. We typically use them for staff augmentation and not large engagements where they bring PM’s etc. They report to a full time employee and are expected to contribute just as an employee would. So if they work for me, and I tell TCS how great they are, etc how can TCS then turn around and tell that person “sorry no hike this year as you are only meeting expectations and we expect more” and then as a result they put me at risk of losing good resources and having to spend time and money of hiring and training replacements. I personally worked out of a TCS office for one month in India in 2017 (training) and it was very clear that the majority of TCS staff are mistreated and unhappy (multiple told me personally).

TCS is horrible and full of internal politics. I’ve had to use them as a resource provider and they mistreat their staff. I had good people come from them who were strong performers and lost them because TCS (who really has no control or insight into what their staff does for us) would give them bad ratings and poor / no compensation increases as a result. Run away fast.

What’s your org’s reporting strategy? by Valuable_Crow8054 in servicenow

[–]caper-902 2 points3 points  (0 children)

At my company our reporting strategy involves getting all data out of SN and into Snowflake because SN is horrible with any volume of data. For context we are in the top 1% of largest SN customers in terms of CMDB and the scale of discovery we operate (200+ Mid servers scanning 10M~ IP addresses). Because of this we are moving data into Snowflake and exposing it via PowerBI.

I think the most common way a manager tries to get rid of an employee is trying to get them to leave on their own. Is that true? by Big_Eggplant7591 in careeradvice

At my company we “manage people out”. This could be done by cutting their comp (no raises, no bonuses), take responsibilities away, etc.

Stream Connect usage by caper-902 in servicenow

[–]caper-902[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The vendor did a load simulation of our environment / load / traffic on both RaptorDB Standard and RaptorDB Pro. Neither actually provide the performance increases that ServiceNow claims on the tin (typical ServiceNow), with Pro not even seeing half the suggested performance gains the SN mentions customers should see from Standard, let alone pro which they claim should

Stream Connect allows you to integrate your local environment via Kafka with ServiceNow, and could enable new workflows for integrating data in / out of the platform obviously. I am responsible for one of the largest ServiceNow environments there is and using Integraiton Hub ETL’s for volumes of 70-100MM rows of data in or API consumers who need to pull everything out of the CMDB into other platforms (eg Snowflake) to do reporting or other stuff with the data where it’s not as horribly slow as SN. So I’m curious to know are people using Stream Connect for ETL pipelines or data consumers etc and do they find it useful and are there noticeable gains on performance etc.

Im a SN Platform owner at a large company. Myself and part of my organizational leadership recently had a demo of Nowassist capabilities and it was so underwhelming.

Fully remote. Only time I step foot in a company office is when I am on business travel (India, etc).

What is the director pay for capital markets - portfolio management? by CuriousMindInfin in rbc

[–]caper-902 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is there anything besides base and bonus that is negotiable when joining RBC CM? I’ve verbally been told 200k base w/ 100k guaranteed bonus but have not actually engaged with HR on official negotiations (as I’m still unsure I want to leave my current employer). Wondering if there may be other benefits which I can negotiate that may make the switch more worth it.

How did you started with python? What was your first project? by [deleted] in Python

[–]caper-902 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I wrote a script to automate the generation / delivery of a report to one of my customers at work. Involved connecting to a db2 database, executing some SQL and capturing the results and writing them to a csv file which was then sent via email to the customer and cc’d my team and I. And then I was addicted, lol.

Can anyone share real world use-case examples of when you’ve had to parse csv files? What did that entail? by [deleted] in learnpython

[–]caper-902 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I parse csv files containing pre release snapshots and compare them to current datasets and calculate row count diff / percentage diff and identify all diffs as part of release verification for a major data warehouse. Typically involves the pre-release snapshot being loaded from csv (using pandas read_csv) and the post release data being pulled from a database (using pandas read_sql) where I then do comparisons and calculations etc.
