Any thoughts or experience working as a product manager or product owner under a director of engineering? I'm interviewing for a Sr. PO role with a mid-size/large finance company, and the hiring manager is the director of engineering.

Hi - I am a current PO of a mid-large size financial company. We have POs that report directly to the IT directors, as well as POs that report to business lines. I fall under the latter. Personally, I think POs have better support when they roll up to IT directors as there's a lot more support and understanding when issues arise. Business is less forgiving.

I would also note that roles reporting to the IT directors tend to have higher expectations of technical acumen than on the business side. Just make sure they actually want you to perform PO role only. It's very possible that they want you to do double duty as an engineer and a PO and could be why they want you to report to the director of engineering.

Hi Sharks,

I am done with the L1 round this Monday (26th Sep) and got a response next day over email with the Subject line "Interview Feedback for L1 Interview", in the email it was mentioned that we will get in touch with you shortly.

How much time will it take any ideas?

What can you do if you’re getting interviewed by the same person who didn’t choose you in the first place?
Context: I applied for a position a while back and got interviewed, but didn’t go to the next round. I found the same position open again a month later at a different location and applied. Almost immediately, I was called for an interview, but with the same interviewer. What does this mean? Is this going to get awkward?

Hi fishes,

Had an interview with Hexaware and 3 days back HR1 called me and said she will send the offer letter next week. 2 days back HR2 called me and said a client interview is scheduled for you and I attended that. Now if I fail to clear the client interview round, will I not receive the offer letter that is promised by the HR1?

I just got an offer from a company that I have mixed feelings about. Team seems great but Glassdoor reviews, not so much. I’m currently interviewing with a couple of other companies that are amazing and would be my too choices. However, I’m very early in the process so it will probably take a month or so to get to the offer stage with them. I don’t want to fall between two chairs for not taking this offer and then not getting any from other companies. What should I do? Best strategy?

Hello Guys,

SAP SD 4 YOE, INFY
CCTC -7.34
EY IN offered - 13.61(2lakh VP)

I have accepted EY IN Offer.
Now I am getting calls from EY GDS for interviews.

I am not sure if u should attend the interview or not at GDS.
When I shared this scenario with my EY IN HR, she said please don't attend it may create conflict and you may also get blacklisted.

EY GDS HR is like, you can attend the interview, there's no problem at all. We don't have such a policy. Please suggest what decision I should make.
