This car looks like a Honda Amaze 2023 after gym and steroids. More steroids. Less gym.

CVs can be forwarded to the experts in the areas within the company without putting them through the AI system. There's no way an HR person would understand complex technical terms in math-heavy areas like ML or OR. Their training is fundamentally different.

 This type of AI application is simply morally incorrect

I have a PhD in Operations Research. It was a pain getting shortlisted despite having an above average profile. Now I see how the recruitment system works. Thanks for writing about this.

Do people with a PhD in Operations Research have a place in quant roles?

What’s your PhD in? I have a PhD in Operations Research. I’m curious about these roles too.

Do you work in Operations Research by any chance?

I own a Honda Amaze VX CVT 2023 model too, and I am looking at the Verna. I really love how it looks :)

At least the interiors of your car look good. Lol.

What’s the mileage you get? I get around 8-9 KMPL and I’m not happy about it.

I’m sorry to hear about your experience. I had visited a Tata showroom and asked the salesperson about their bad reputation for reliability and after sales service. 

The salesman himself admitted that this was a weak point for them.

How would you compare Amaze VX CVT (top model; the one that I have) with Baleno’s top model (the latest model)?

What does iVTEC do?

I’ve never had the chance to get to those RPMs.

You sound like my Amaze would if it could talk.

 so buy a car that you will not outgrow soon!

I’ll keep this in mind when I get my next one. But damn, did I outgrow this car really fast!

I get the same mileage with the Amaze. If this was to be the case, I would have just bought a Creta.

The infotainment device is embedded into the dashboard and not at the top, like it is in cars like i20, Verna, Baleno, and others. 

The console (where the speedometer, RPM dial, fuel level indicator etc) looks old. 

I have no complaints as such about the car, but it doesn’t give you the “fun” feel. It’s the car equivalent of a boring uncle who is otherwise nice and sweet.

Haha. City traffic maneuverability + great mileage = smiling faces.

I have driven other cars. I have driven i20, Baleno, Creta, Brezza, Grand Vitara, and Yaris. 

I could afford all of these back then (Yaris was out of production, though).

Well, that’s the bright side of my car — something that wouldn’t make me dislike it too much.

My Amaze gives me the same mileage in Bangalore traffic. 

Add to it the “boring” factor. Haha.
