1 00:02:58.600 ⇒ 00:02:59.570 Brylle Girang: Hello?
2 00:02:59.960 ⇒ 00:03:00.880 Pranav: Hey, V.
3 00:03:01.240 ⇒ 00:03:02.070 Brylle Girang: Ready?
4 00:03:03.490 ⇒ 00:03:05.460 Pranav: Somewhat.
5 00:03:05.460 ⇒ 00:03:07.259 Brylle Girang: This will be a busy week for you.
6 00:03:07.260 ⇒ 00:03:10.709 Pranav: Running around the last few days, like, there’s been a lot going on, so…
7 00:03:10.900 ⇒ 00:03:12.400 Pranav: I did my best to prepare.
8 00:03:13.000 ⇒ 00:03:14.520 Brylle Girang: Yeah, I heard, I heard.
9 00:03:14.640 ⇒ 00:03:17.520 Brylle Girang: Is I’m able to support you now with Eden?
10 00:03:18.570 ⇒ 00:03:23.399 Pranav: Sam’s out today, but yeah,
11 00:03:24.350 ⇒ 00:03:26.830 Pranav: I mean, we’re in a good place. We’re in a good place.
12 00:03:27.000 ⇒ 00:03:39.440 Pranav: The good thing is, like, nothing’s happening, like, externally that I’m aware of, that, you know, they’ve brought up… they haven’t brought up anything bad to me. They’re excited. The primary kind of, like.
13 00:03:39.520 ⇒ 00:03:55.360 Pranav: champion on their side that I’ve been working with. Like, he’s excited, he’s, like, happy with, like, progress. When I discussed, kind of, like, the issue in high level with him, which I’ll also do again today with, Danny, who’s, like, the main, like, stakeholder over there.
14 00:03:55.360 ⇒ 00:04:00.340 Pranav: I think it’ll make sense. I don’t really think they’re viewing this as a delay.
15 00:04:00.430 ⇒ 00:04:07.119 Pranav: since this is Danny’s first week back, and so everything looks new to him,
16 00:04:08.760 ⇒ 00:04:23.199 Pranav: Yeah, and I’m also, like… I am pretty happy with the progress that we’ve done, because we’ve… we’ve done so much in these first, like, 3 weeks. Maybe our milestones, which is… that’s on me, I probably could have made them a little bit better.
17 00:04:23.370 ⇒ 00:04:27.130 Pranav: But, yeah, that’s…
18 00:04:28.280 ⇒ 00:04:36.210 Pranav: I’ll definitely… that’s one thing I was thinking about, like, I was a little bit, maybe, too aggressive, and then not even fully, like, directionally, like.
19 00:04:37.660 ⇒ 00:04:40.719 Pranav: on the right track with, like, a lot of these milestones, I think.
20 00:04:41.040 ⇒ 00:04:44.590 Pranav: It would have made sense to have fewer milestones that are bigger.
21 00:04:45.390 ⇒ 00:04:46.020 Brylle Girang: Okay.
22 00:04:46.450 ⇒ 00:04:47.030 Pranav: No.
23 00:04:47.870 ⇒ 00:04:50.469 Brylle Girang: Well, when it comes to the milestones,
24 00:04:51.230 ⇒ 00:04:56.420 Brylle Girang: I think this… you have also confirmed this with Sam, right?
25 00:04:57.570 ⇒ 00:04:58.330 Pranav: Yep.
26 00:04:59.430 ⇒ 00:05:01.859 Brylle Girang: Okay, and Sam didn’t have, like, any…
27 00:05:02.400 ⇒ 00:05:05.419 Brylle Girang: Any problems with how aggressive this reset?
28 00:05:07.220 ⇒ 00:05:14.249 Pranav: No, I mean, we worked through milestones, like, I initially made milestones, and then he was like.
29 00:05:14.490 ⇒ 00:05:21.960 Pranav: hey, like, why don’t we do this? And I was like, yeah, we should do that. And then he gave a final sign-off on the… on the project plan, so… Okay.
30 00:05:22.940 ⇒ 00:05:24.400 Brylle Girang: Okay, gotcha.
31 00:05:25.470 ⇒ 00:05:27.820 Brylle Girang: I’m just looking, I’m just skimming through.
32 00:05:29.500 ⇒ 00:05:44.700 Pranav: Yeah, I mean, this is one thing that I, like, learned this week, was, like, I need to be a little bit less hands-on, I think, with certain things like this. Like, I need to be very aware of what’s going on, but not necessarily fixing all the problems.
33 00:05:44.840 ⇒ 00:05:48.610 Pranav: I think I took a little bit too much ownership there.
34 00:05:49.230 ⇒ 00:05:49.730 Brylle Girang: Yeah.
35 00:05:49.730 ⇒ 00:05:56.669 Pranav: So… That’s, that’s definitely on me, that’s something I will… Fix going into next week.
36 00:05:56.950 ⇒ 00:06:13.119 Brylle Girang: Yeah, yeah, and I think let’s just remember that you have the SL to lean on when it comes to, like, the technical challenges and your main role here, which I think you’re doing a great job, is making sure that the client is happy, and the client is not really angry, right? I think.
37 00:06:13.120 ⇒ 00:06:13.700 Pranav: Right.
38 00:06:14.300 ⇒ 00:06:22.580 Brylle Girang: With the work that you’re handling, it’s a bit different to the other CSOs, because you’re also doing, like, the engineering side of things.
39 00:06:23.160 ⇒ 00:06:29.529 Brylle Girang: So, it is expected that you will be doing more work, but at the end of the day, as long as the client is happy.
40 00:06:29.950 ⇒ 00:06:35.009 Brylle Girang: You’re doing a great job, and the SL should be there to support you when it comes to the technical side.
41 00:06:35.820 ⇒ 00:06:37.170 Pranav: Okay, yeah.
42 00:06:37.590 ⇒ 00:06:51.870 Brylle Girang: And I don’t think, like… I think Danny is not a difficult client, based on what we’re seeing. Like, he’s super excited, he’s like… and he doesn’t really care about the technical aspect as long as the goal is met, right?
43 00:06:53.020 ⇒ 00:06:54.760 Pranav: Wait, you said, Eden?
44 00:06:55.480 ⇒ 00:06:56.390 Brylle Girang: Danny.
45 00:06:56.950 ⇒ 00:06:59.500 Brylle Girang: So, Daniel, it’s not… he’s not…
46 00:06:59.500 ⇒ 00:07:02.390 Pranav: Oh, oh, Danny. Yeah, yeah, sure. Yeah.
47 00:07:02.390 ⇒ 00:07:03.080 Brylle Girang: It’s all that difficult.
48 00:07:03.080 ⇒ 00:07:05.259 Pranav: Yeah, I mean, I don’t know, I haven’t really worked with…
49 00:07:05.460 ⇒ 00:07:12.060 Pranav: Danny too much. But he was out for 2 weeks on a… I think, like, his honeymoon.
50 00:07:12.060 ⇒ 00:07:12.519 Brylle Girang: So he just…
51 00:07:12.950 ⇒ 00:07:23.450 Pranav: Yeah. So I haven’t really interacted with Danny too much, aside from, like, a couple of calls before we, started Eden, and then I had one…
52 00:07:23.600 ⇒ 00:07:28.269 Pranav: Slack huddle with him earlier this week as well.
53 00:07:28.430 ⇒ 00:07:29.460 Pranav: So…
54 00:07:29.740 ⇒ 00:07:40.459 Pranav: Adam, who’s the champion over there, like, he is definitely, like, on board. I need to get him a little bit more excited, I think. I think he’s kind of just like, oh, yeah, this is fine, you know?
55 00:07:40.670 ⇒ 00:07:44.860 Pranav: But, yeah. Do you know if, Utam’s gonna be joining us?
56 00:07:45.140 ⇒ 00:07:52.709 Brylle Girang: Yeah, he sent over a message, he’s be… he’s a bit behind, and he’s actually asking for others if they want to join.
57 00:07:54.490 ⇒ 00:07:58.720 Brylle Girang: was supposed to send him a nudge, but I just saw that That message.
58 00:07:59.850 ⇒ 00:08:00.490 Pranav: Cool.
59 00:08:42.260 ⇒ 00:08:43.310 Brylle Girang: I’ll be right back.
60 00:08:43.900 ⇒ 00:08:44.430 Pranav: Sure.
61 00:18:17.130 ⇒ 00:18:18.529 Brylle Girang: I might move this.
62 00:18:20.550 ⇒ 00:18:30.849 Brylle Girang: Pranav, I’m also going to reschedule our call. Earlier, it was, later, rather. It was supposed to be a check-in for L&D, but…
63 00:18:31.180 ⇒ 00:18:34.109 Brylle Girang: I think we’re going to extend the project review call.
64 00:18:35.830 ⇒ 00:18:38.780 Pranav: Okay, so we’ll move the project review to that time, you’re saying?
65 00:18:40.270 ⇒ 00:18:43.579 Brylle Girang: I’m going to confirm with Utam, but since he’s not here.
66 00:18:43.840 ⇒ 00:18:47.469 Brylle Girang: I think we can move it to a later time, so that we can.
67 00:18:47.470 ⇒ 00:18:55.389 Pranav: I would prefer that anyways. I can just get some Eden stuff done, and then for our L&D call, you want to move that to later as well?
68 00:18:55.690 ⇒ 00:18:57.279 Brylle Girang: next week instead. Would that work?
69 00:18:57.890 ⇒ 00:19:10.730 Pranav: Yeah, that works. So, I… maybe just we… if you have a few minutes right now, just… I sent that quick update just on, you know, my progress, which I haven’t started. I just read through that doc on the platform.
70 00:19:11.430 ⇒ 00:19:25.359 Pranav: I saw that it’s mostly, like, catered towards, like, data engineering, and, you know, a lot of what we do on the AI service is data engineering as well, right? There’s a lot of overlap. I just wanted to make… make sure, like, that makes sense for me to be working on that.
71 00:19:25.580 ⇒ 00:19:34.530 Pranav: And then also, if you had, like, an idea of the rough timeframe that it’ll take, like, on average to complete one of those, just so I can give you, like, an accurate, like…
72 00:19:34.720 ⇒ 00:19:38.730 Pranav: Date for when you can expect, like, a milestone to be done, or completion.
73 00:19:39.040 ⇒ 00:19:43.350 Brylle Girang: Yeah, okay, I’m just looking at the certifications right now. So, for Snowflake.
74 00:19:44.170 ⇒ 00:19:54.759 Brylle Girang: There’s, like, one general course that was Snow Pro Core, and then there are two specialized courses, one for data engineering, and then one for general AI.
75 00:19:54.980 ⇒ 00:20:07.179 Brylle Girang: Generative AI, rather. So the Snow Pro Core, I know that it might have a bit of more overlap with data engineering, but that’s required for us to proceed to, like, the generative AI certification.
76 00:20:07.470 ⇒ 00:20:09.640 Pranav: Yeah, that’s what I read, too, so that makes sense.
77 00:20:09.860 ⇒ 00:20:14.649 Brylle Girang: We need to do that first. When it comes to the estimated time, I do think that…
78 00:20:15.540 ⇒ 00:20:19.740 Brylle Girang: Yeah, so for Snow Pro Core, it’s 115 minutes.
79 00:20:19.980 ⇒ 00:20:26.579 Brylle Girang: And then for Gen AI, that’s also 115 minutes. But this is rough. This is a rough estimate.
80 00:20:26.580 ⇒ 00:20:29.550 Pranav: That’s to complete the test itself, right?
81 00:20:30.410 ⇒ 00:20:33.890 Pranav: Not to actually complete the training for the course.
82 00:20:35.600 ⇒ 00:20:41.199 Brylle Girang: No, no, no, it’s supposed to be, like, for the whole certification, or for the whole training.
83 00:20:41.770 ⇒ 00:20:42.250 Brylle Girang: Oh.
84 00:20:42.250 ⇒ 00:20:43.090 Pranav: Oh, really?
85 00:20:43.090 ⇒ 00:20:51.539 Brylle Girang: moment. 115 minutes. That’s like 2 hours, rather. So yeah, that might be inaccurate. I’m going to fix that.
86 00:20:52.700 ⇒ 00:21:01.359 Pranav: Yeah, based on my research, it was saying, like, some people were saying, like, 20 hours, some people were saying, like, 60 hours, so…
87 00:21:02.070 ⇒ 00:21:08.650 Pranav: Yeah, I mean, maybe I can just get started next week, and then I can give you, like, a more accurate, like, assessment of how long this is gonna take me.
88 00:21:09.100 ⇒ 00:21:16.020 Brylle Girang: Okay, yeah. Oh, sorry. Yeah, so 115 minutes, that was supposed to be for the actual exam.
89 00:21:16.030 ⇒ 00:21:29.720 Brylle Girang: So it’s a 65-question exam, so it would… should take, like, 2 hours at most. But I get your point, like, for the actual training, for the reading materials, I’ll try to check if I could give a more reasonable estimate for that.
90 00:21:30.440 ⇒ 00:21:31.540 Pranav: Okay, perfect.
91 00:21:32.080 ⇒ 00:21:37.240 Brylle Girang: Thank you. I’ll just update the invite, and then I’ll ask Utam what time he will be more available.
92 00:21:37.910 ⇒ 00:21:41.460 Pranav: Cool, yeah, I mean, Monday works great for me,
93 00:21:41.600 ⇒ 00:21:53.850 Pranav: So, I think the rest of the day, I have, like, my two client calls, and then I have a hard stop today at 5 Eastern Standard, so I’m kind of booked up until then.
94 00:21:54.120 ⇒ 00:21:54.770 Brylle Girang: Okay.
95 00:21:55.320 ⇒ 00:21:56.110 Pranav: Yeah.
96 00:21:56.110 ⇒ 00:21:58.120 Brylle Girang: Alright, gotcha. I’ll just let you know.
97 00:21:58.800 ⇒ 00:22:00.240 Pranav: Okay, cool, thank you. Alright.
98 00:22:00.520 ⇒ 00:22:01.290 Pranav: Cheap.
