How to check bench ageing in Virtusa?
It's always been a dream of mine to work at Google, specifically as a UX designer (currently transitioning into UX from visual design). I've been so afraid to apply to any jobs with UX title, Google or not, because I'm always doubting myself and telling myself I'm still under-qualified.
UX designers & hiring managers, what are the skills a designer must have to be "qualified" for a UX position? Keywords on resume? Certifications? Thank you all in advance!

Q: for FAANG recruiters, do candidates get a reject stamp after failing even at the later stages?
I advanced to the last stage at Facebook (Meta) around a year ago but failed on my last interview, a combination of not being familiar with the process and not having chemistry with the interviewer.
A friend who is a hiring manager recently recommended me and this time without even a HR call I received a straight up thanks but no thanks email.
Does this mean I’ve been permanently black listed?

We are just nice.
I think so, OP. And I’m personally glad that we got to the root cause of the misunderstanding. For perspective, in some cultures/languages “have a nice day” means go something yourself. Good luck with the interview process though
It’s been a long week but I really can’t tell if you’re joking, OP. Either you’re hilarious or you’re someone you just want to give a hug and a glass of warm milk
D1, careful. OP might think you're interested in marrying them or something lol
Are you the type of person that gauges opposite sex interest based on the number of ys in heyy?
…what’s wrong with that?

Yes, that's actually the secret tell that they let you know. It tests to see how well you networked, because if you talk to 10 people and 3 former, you'll be told about this secret. Now, you have to send them an email in less than 24 hrs saying you accept the offer, and let them know what you want for sign on, you can also ask for a hire on watch under $7,500, so just them know what you want.

Breathe in breathe out OP!!! It is the first round of interview!! Ever bothered to ask the interviewer “Oh what are the next steps” to gauge the upcoming!? I’m sure McK has more than 1round of interview! Wish you the best champ! But breathe!!
Wow, what a genuinely nice response.
Its first round! You still have 4 more interviews to crush OP. Don’t take anything for granted

At EY I just spoke to a partner about new york for an hour and he gave me the job
Thinking too much for have a nice day. My interviewers did tell me “when you join McKinsey” and “We’ll be in touch very soon” though
Bull. You would have led with that. I can smell a Big 4 employee anywhere
The state of consulting is so disappointing if that’s what exceeds our expectations.
Oh I don’t think they were being polite—I thought it was a wink and a nod sort of thing
Depends on your response.
“Have a nice day” is a known hook interviewers use to see how you will respond. If you say something like: Ummm oh! Yeah! Have a nice day!
That’s game over. You are out.
Obviously this is a joke from SD2 lol
If they don't explicitly say "we think you'll add a lot of value" you're fucked.
I mean… even if one interviewer likes you, they don’t make the sole decision if you get the job. So think of it as a confidence boost to ace the other interviews but make sure to take them as seriously as you did the first round. Good luck!
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 modern society is doomed!
