Any openings for cloudera databricks ?
Does anyone have experience interviewing with Deloitte Internal Services? I had my final interview a week and a half ago, and received positive feedback throughout. The hiring manager had positive things to say and mentioned they hoped to make a decision by the end of last week. It’s now Friday the week after. The role still shows as “Interviews in Process.” We did discuss potential start dates, but no salary. Any experience with receiving offers for an internal services role? Is this common?

Please evaluate this initial offer for Apple ICT3. I think I was low balled, but I want to take more opinions. Currently Sr. MTS at VMware, received Apple ICT3. I was expecting to get to ICT4 but seems like team thinks upper end of ICT3 is more apt. Also, I think it is because I don’t have any counter offers yet.

I’ll except anyone that’s not a clear bot/spammer
Yes
I don't accept them all. I look at the profile before accepting and then accept if I feel its appropriate. As a woman sometimes I can tell from a profile that I don't want the person on my Linked in if that makes sense. But that is completely up to you.
No, I only accept connections if there's some reason. If it's someone with whom I have a mutual friend, or someone from the same organization, I'll accept those. If it's someone who turned up out of the blue and I have no idea why they're contacting me I'll just ignore it.

I only accept for people I know. I ignore all the sales people and the "I want to add you to my network" randos.
If they leave some note explaining why they are reaching out I feel a lot better accepting the connect invitation. But I do my due diligence to rule out whether it's a bot. I also don't accept if they are from a completely different field.
If I know the person, I tend to accept no matter what. If they're a stranger though? I may if we share a notable number of mutual connections. If it's totally cold, probably not
I really only accept the ones that I think I can get a benefit from and are basically in the field that I'm in or wanting to get into.
I used to accept everyone as I thought it could increase my reach when I post things. Lately, I noticed the scammers, especially on these links from supposed 20-something nubile female professionals out of China or Eastern Europe. It’s one of those too good to be true moments.
I get those ALL the time. And they all have rich uncles in the US that have figured out how to beat the cryptocurrency market…
Not generally. I used to but way too many scammers there
Yes I accept
People are still using linked in?

I found my current role on LinkedIn. And when I was laid off, posting about it on LinkedIn opened several doors for me. So yes, I think it’s very valuable to use LinkedIn.
I don’t consider LinkedIn for social network, so I don’t use it to connect with people.
I do not. But having been on a handful of professional boards and a linked in member since the beginning, so many accumulate. Building your network can be done thoughtfully but you will still have more than you will need. But it’s hard to know which those are.
I accept any and all people wanting to connect on LinkedIn. It makes job searching incredibly easy and I've even been able to help friends and family find jobs with all the opportunities I see from connections. This could be wildly delusional of me to think so, but I think I've noticed that if I comment on someone's "looking for a new opportunity" post, it gets a ton of engagement and if that's the case then I imagine it's because of my large connection count.
I am very selective. I only select people I know or have met, recruiters that work at reputable firms, and people who write a message that interests me. I’d say I except about 20% of linkedin requests.
I don't accept requests from head hunters or people who want to manage my money
Yes yes I will
Only if I know them. When I see colleagues with a million contacts who are clearly recruiters, scammers, or wannabe influencers, I think they are out of touch. And it’s a little annoying because all these random strangers then get suggested to me.
No , if I don't know you why would I.
I only accept requests from people within my industry, industry-adjacent, or who would prove beneficial to have as a connection. Previously, I used to accept nearly anyone who wasn’t clearly a bot, but quality over quantity, IMO. I’ve rejected requests from literal family before.
