Do creative leaders in the US hire people with international experience? I’ve had several interviews where I’ve ‘almost’ made it but the lack of reasons given to me for getting rejected makes me wonder if my ethinicity or the region of experience is an obstacle.

For me it’s all about the book. I don’t care about accent, or country of origin. If you have a good book, I assume you have an interesting mind and I’ll want you.

Remember that you have to be exceptional - better that they can find locally in order for them to be willing to invest in relocation, visa sponsorship, legal fees and all the stuff that comes with that. Sometimes it’s just not worth the hassle.

Might need you to elaborate more. I’ve worked with many creatives from Brazil and other parts of South America. And of course Swedes. I suppose those are “trendy” areas by creative standards - but if you’re from a country not known for great work, and your book reflects it, that could be a problem.

The industry is homogenous as hell overall, but I’ve always had international coworkers in the creative dept.

I recently had an interview with a very promising pre-IPO company in the AI/ML space for a SE leadership position. The interview feedback was better than I expected, but with a twist. They have already given the offer to someone else, but they still want to bring me on board and they asked me what I would like to do. I am in the process of gathering more info, but it is tempting to ask about pivoting into product management. What would you do in this situation?

I feel like I was straight up lied to during the interview process. “lots of opportunities to hit quota”. I’m sitting here with only one demo two months after joining the company. it looks like our team has only two people doing demos, and demos are only happening once every two weeks. At this rate, I don’t think I’ll be even close to hitting OTE. Are there any other companies hiring right now? I’ll have a discussion about my concerns with my manager soon, but there’s too many red flags here.

Hi everyone!

This isn’t really an interview question but more of an on-boarding question.
Bit of background- I left my job of 3 years in Dec 2021 for a new company. Initially, I thought the company was great but my mind quickly changed. The on-boarding process was horrible, minimal training, thrown onto enterprise project 2 weeks in, over time, and there is no process for anything. I ended up hating my job.

Fast forward to Mid March, I started applying for jobs again but I omitted this role.
