As a person who referred someone, can I post a feedback to the recruiter for the bad experience my friend had to go through with this super rude SM? What impression are we setting for people who apply to our firm? Appreciate any response from EY partners/SM. Is it worth giving a feedback!? Who let such people do interviews. So agitated

As a Desi person I feel terrible when I hear someone saying it’s hard to interview with a Desi interviewer. This is happening yet again!

Exactly the doubt my friend has. He wouldn’t want to report to such Managers.

I had a similar experience with a desi partner at Deloitte. Still got the offer and basically just used it as leverage to get a higher offer elsewhere. But by far worst interview experience I’ve ever had

Cleared Accenture Skill interview by answering almost all the questions and received congratulatory mail for HR round and submitting all documents. Then after a week received a call from HR saying that due to some technical issue, the skills round will happen again and an online assessment was set up. In the assessment, questions which were not directly related to the profile were asked and then a rejection mail was received. Does this happen a lot?

Hello Fam Law attys!

I am in my second year as a attorney, I was a FL paralegal before law school and would eventually like to end up there again. I am in a very small rural area, pretty much only solos, and no FL solos appear to be hiring/expanding at this time.

Do you think experience as a DA or PD would be valuable, with my eye toward a future in FL? Both for the skills gained, and/or as a resume piece?

TY!

I've found ChatGPT mildly interesting... until a manager shared an experiment he did last week.

He posed the same questions to ChatGPT. He shuffled all the responses and asked a number of us to spot the AI answer. NOBODY picked correctly.

I tried cheap ones from Amazon. Expensive, second hand gaming chairs. Tried HM Aeron (second hand) and while I didn't like the bulk and the general design, I was sold on the mesh seating. I wanted to get the ErgoChair 2 from autonomous, but it doesn't have mesh seat.
