My client is Apple. I saw a job that looked interesting, applied on a whim, recruiter reached out for availability, and then ghosted me. I’m tired af too.

Changing jobs is tiring. I know I am not a rock star but it has been incredibly challenging getting in touch with recruiters, getting interviews etc.
it is like I have 0.5 % success rate with getting recruiters to talk and then close to 0% to getting an interview and job offers is currently at 0%.
Argh, sometimes I feel I should just take a break for 6 months which I would have done if I were not on visa. The immigration stress and job stress is killing me slowly

One other networking tool someone told me about was Lunchclub, it's like Tinder or Hinge but for professional networking.

I joined a SoftBank/Arm owned company, after the interview they showed me an unofficial spreadsheet with a bonus structure of 30% + 25% of 30% (performance based). However I was told that it’s complex so I should look at final numbers. When they made me the offer, it stated 15% bonus which I ignored because the recruiter had promised me 30% + 25% of 30% (performance based). Now, after three months he says that I will get only 15% - I feel cheated and naive for believing the recruiter.

Will we have any project specific interview or client interview before joining TCS?

Will it more like a round to reject further?

Im really worried.I still have 35 days of notice period left and I received a call from a TCS employee today and she asked me to share my resume to a project manager when asked she said it is for its tracking purpose.

Please let me know.

I was just informed after the third round of interviews they’d like at least 5 references, two must be supervisors. My last job was a temporary remote job where I didn’t really interact with my supervisor and the jobs before that were at my family’s business (I do not speak to any of them for serious personal reasons.) Anything before that was grad school and I haven’t kept in contact with any professors from over five years ago. What should I do? 😕
