    Raghu was a great resource. He understood my questions with a 5 min intro and exactly gave me the advice I needed. I was chasing a “promotion” without understanding the true meaning of what I wanted. Raghu’s advice gave me a different thought process on how to approach my career progression. Thank you Raghu, you are a wonderful resource!
