2 weeks into moving from ind to con. I put in a catch-up with the partner that interviewed me. We had a really good conversation during the interview.

In the catchup iasked for some advice which he gave about whether to accept a prj i wasnt keen on. I stupidly then went against his recom and saying im not keen. He wasnt happy and said ‘you’ve already made your decision’ and ‘this meeting isnt going well’

I apologiesd, we ended on nice note but have I messed up big time here for future work?

I've a question on what sections to put on a regular resume. I see some people are using consulting style resume for outside companies as well. Do you think it's a good idea to devide work experience by projets? Or is it better to have "projects highlights" separate from work experience.. something like: intro>functional expertise> project highlights>work experience>education?

Hi fishes,
Need your thoughts.
I am done with my client interview and it went well but they are asking me to come to gugaon location.
I am from Bangalore location.
I directly said to client that I can't since I have my family here.
When I inform this to my manager he is saying how come u say like this to client.according to kpmg policy u need to travel to anywhere to work.
This is not good right. What should be my reply to the client in such a case and how to handle manager on this?

What's your method of politely telling someone you're waiting for the machine/equipment they are using?

Hi fishes,

How do I prepare for data science roles at FAANG?

I’m thinking of possibly applying to underwriting positions at liberty mutual. Currently talking with recruiters, but does anyone have a referral?

What do you guys usually wear to a job interview? I’m interviewing at a start up their a monthly subscription service that delivers clues to solve a mystery. So not super corporate but? 🤔

Hiring managers: What do you read on a resume?

Do you only look for the portfolio URL?

Is a bulleted list helpful if you’ve never heard of the agencies?

Do you truly care about software skills?

If you are applying to a client company, should you mention that you’ve worked on a project with them specifically in your cover letter? Or is it better to keep the client name anonymized?

How do you deal with references as a freelancer? Most of my past gigs - I had managers on paper but it was a formality as I led my own work so don't feel comfortable asking them to be a reference.

Is there any advantage to telling a company you are interested in working for in the future where you decided to accept an offer from? Or does it not matter? I accepted an offer a week ago with a great company (Company A) that for this season in my life seems like a great fit and only strengthens what I have to offer company B down the road. Company B just sent me a request for interview and I want to keep the door open with Company B but they were just very late in extending an interview.

Tomorrow I will be having interview in Delloite USI for Data Scientist role. Could anyone let me know how it goes. How many rounds are there? And what kind of questions put up in each round?

Hi Fish,

I attended the interview in cognizant. But i didn't get any feedback of my interview. So, what should I do? Also, I dropped the Mails to recruiter. They did not reply on that.

Seeking advice: I am a young sales consultant and sales engineer working for a tech startup company. I have 6 years of sales experience. And I have been helping run my family business for the past 10 years. I was intially interviewed for a senior account executive position at a $70k offer. Instead they told me I needed more training and hired me as a Junior account executive at a $50k salary + commission. Today is my 6th month mark and I have done very well. And no talks of a promotion / raise..

Folks who exited to Google - how long after your final round did you have you wait before getting the decision? How was the decision communicated? Would love to also hear if you were confident you’d get the offer because you crushed it, or if you felt you had a mixed interview but still eventually got the offer.
