Are you all hearing back from the companies you applied to and didn't get the job in? It sometimes feels like job applications are barely ever being seen by any human eyes

I was laid off in January and got back to work in April. Worked with outside and inside recruiters. Heard back on every application. The inside route paid off! Got a 40% raise and far better benefits than before.

I mean an inside recruiter working for the company. One reached out to me (on LinkedIn) and got the interview process moving along. A decision was made inside of three weeks. It's been great since. Now approaching two months on the job.

Yes, I've been hearing back.

Yes same here

Which sites are you looking for a job? You might wanna try searching for openings on job boards like Indeed, Glassdoor, and job boards like FlexJobs and Jobsolv if you wanna work remotely. I have heard a lot from fellow consultants about Jobsolv lately. Anyway, Good luck with your job search!

Actually, I gave Interview for BackEnd Developer @ Itilite. I was selected in the interview process (2 Tech DSA Based + HR) and got a mail stating that our interview panel is really impressed with your domain related expertise in order to proceed with offer negotiation please submit your documents. Now after 2-3 days of document submission, they came up by saying they cant move forward with my candidature.

I am still amazed how can they do this after asking my documents.

Preparing for my final round case interview and I’ve realized that whereas prior to the first round I was pretty comfortable with casing, now I’m less and less so since I’m increasingly anxious that I could not come up with the right buckets.

Don’t get scammed. I saw an ad for vending machines that dispense hot coffee, from The Caffeine Dream. Sounds like a cool idea, and they offered placement of the machines for a one time fee. but I asked this “Chris Mateli” where. He was evasive at first and was rude when I had someone with my company call to ask. Eventually he gave me the locations before buying the machines which, of course, I couldn’t verify for placement. They had no idea about these machines because they never ordered them.

Is it misleading to just look at Total Compensation from a $ dollar value/ Total Compensation seems to be much more subjective than base salary in terms of its value. Some factors might be:

RSUs granted on dollar value or by # of shares & stock price trends
Vesting schedule
strike price on ISOs & delta between strike price and real market value

For instance, most of value in Amazon's comp seems to be granted in years 3 & 4, but it's well known that most people last only 2 years max there.
