Okay tbh this is maybe weird but, start getting your name out there. Write articles, speak at conferences, advertise all of those on LinkedIn and social media and build up your hype and build out your network. This has a threefold value:

1. It makes other people aware of you without you needing to actively reaching out and making them aware.

2. It gives you clear things to point to during interviews that those hiring and recruiting can see to know that you’ve done what you say and did it well.

3. It helps you meet dope people in the industry who you can reach out to to build relationships and network for job opportunities rather than just applying online.

My dad always told me to never directly apply to listings online, always network first and that’s what I’d recommend to you. Whether it’s through the ways I laid out here or other ways that exist out there

Hi Fishes,

I have given my interview in HCL and cleared 1 TP, 1 hcl manager & Client TP and Client Manager rounds .
In initial screening HR told the generic statement of 30-40% and I have given my ask as 50% minimum. After clearing the rounds I heard from the project team that Client has given great feedback and wanted to take me in .
What is the % I can ask in HR Discussion and will they reject in HR if I ask more now .
I have 9.5 years total experience and role is Storage Architect.
Thanks
