I have already gotten over the ST interview and I'm glad I was able to focus on what matters. I won't survive in ST with a MNC culture, mindset and critical thinking. I just feel ST breeds an unhealthy obsession of paper qualification defined systematic limitation towards talent usage. It creates a self entitled mindset that they deserve the next promotion because they have a degree and not because they have created value. You make someone believe they can do more or less just by getting a piece of paper losing focus on the part that truly matters : delivering results and the process of getting there.

You study hard so that it can equip you with the knowledge to deliver. You don't study hard so that you can become part of a system that defines your worth on the paper you have. Your value is defined by the results you bring and the process you execute to meet that result. I learnt something from our conversations. Thank you for asking.
