I would reframe in a more consulting type answer—I call it the 4 Ps. Prestige, pedigree, pay, and power.

Recruiter will be amazed by the level of insight and framing.

Look up things they do specifically, public perception, values, etc and find something that resonates with you that is specific to them. Even if it’s something other places do too, align it to their verbiage.

Hello guys,

I got an offer from epam but confused whether it’s epam systems or anywhere.
As I have been given fixed salary and remote work. But on offer it states EPAM systems.
Could someone please let me know who has joined epam anywhere recently if on offer it’s mentioned as anywhere?
On my interview invites as well it was mentioned anywhere.

I found a company I was really excited about working at. I applied for the job and went through 5 rounds of interviews. At the end they said I was OVER qualified and they want me for a different position higher up in the company. I was super excited they then had me go through 5 more rounds, 3/5 people were the same. The interviews mostly went "didn't you get the job, I highly recommend you? I'll just put you down as a 10". After those were done they told me I was UNDER qualified. Can't win!
