Nero, Thank you for the detailed info. To respond to your specific asks: 1. A profile evaluation and fitment for the nature of work I wish to do. You are no doubt qualified and experienced enough to take up this new role. Switching from a conventional "transactional" role to one that is pr...

Dakshimanshu, To give you specific advice, we will need more details along the lines of: 1. Which institute/school did you graduate with your mechanical engineering degree from? Specifics are not needed - general info is fine (one of the IITs, one of the RECs/NITs, private engineering colleges, etc....
