@divyanshu_nd I feel Harish and his design team are so high up in their ivory towers with highly fancy, “cutting edge” design theories that are actually unusable to a fault. Nothing is revolutionary about Cred. It’s just a marketing agency at this point now.

How an org interviews you is a big tell of their culture. Some of the best interviews I’ve given had panel who were calm, attentive and conversational. Some of the worst I’ve seen arrived late, asked unrelated questions, and focused on everything but your work.

Just because someone is a senior designer doesn’t mean they’ll be a good mentor. Extremely exclusive skillsets. One is a product of another but not vice versa. It’s even worse when they charge money for substandard feedback + mentorship.
