It's your baby, not their baby. So I fully agree that people around you can only give advise, but not criticism. During this period I also received many feedbacks from people around me saying my interview strategy is completely wrong. But I just let it go cause I understand that fact that they wanted to help me. However, they are not in the real situation and they don't understand the competition we are facing nowadays, hence just take it that they are concerned about us. They really do this out of love. So take it and don't argue. Just stick to our plan cause we know what we want to give to our child. And only we have the right of doing this , not any others.
Fully support you!
