Do people give interview just for fun without looking for change ? I have heard some mentors suggesting people to give interview to stay relevant with the market and skills. Is it a good idea to give interviews to test your skills?

Yes, it is a good idea. It helps one stay current in the market, keep one's interviewing skills polished and, once in a while, who knows, you may get an offer you cannot refuse.

Suppose I give an interview just for fun or to check my skills and if I get 30-40% hike, then how to stop myself from resigning? 🤔

funny

Narrate this fun story to tour boss, if you are critical then next day HR will call for market correction of your CTC and you don't resign 😀

That's the job of recruiters.😝
That's why they get paid.

Bro even some interviewers do interviews just to satisfy their ego.. and companies also conduct interviews and will not take anyone sometimes and HR s will collect documents and not send offer letters.. "Everything is fine here"

I do it quite often. Being an interviewer for long time at least twice in a yeats I test my own skills and market value by applying some jobs and sitting on the opposite side.
Though I never take the discussion to CTC level and filling in personal information in the company websites.
It helps you to know whether you are limiting yourself in the comfort zone 😁

Do it , this time is best to test the water

Its good to give interviews because in the interview journey you come across questions you normally might have not focused on and it helps to boosts your concepts and level up.

I’ve interviewed for several positions AVP and VP roles since October of ‘21 internally with Citi. Didn’t take any of them because it would have been only $8k - $11k salary bumps. For double or even triple the work. So I’m leaving to go from $70k to $235k in September at a competing firm for a VP level role. The moral of the story: hop if you need to. No reason to stick around for low pay and not being compensated fairly by the company that expects “loyalty” from you.
