I did a blind application to Uber and got a call back.

I didn’t think so at first, but have been getting hits for big tech companies.

You’ll have a lot better hit rate with a referral. Try to look through your network to see who might help you out... reaching to college alumni or others with shared background on LinkedIn has worked OK for me

Hey everyone, I need some advise. I've been interviewing for a company for the last 4weeks. The salary was originally discussed as (say Xk) but the recruiter I'm working with said today that they "realigned the goals" and brought the salary down to (Xk-10). I wasn't even okaay with Xk tbh, and now they've gone ahead and reduced it by 10k! I'm attending the final round on Friday - do y'all have any tips on how I can negotiate my salary to X+10 and let them know that this is highly unprofessional?
