Hi guys,
Need help,I am joining VMware Banglore on 27th June. During interview I told them I need wfh. They said it wil be wfh this entire year. Only mistake I did was i didn't permanent wfh. I took for granted like once I join i can opt for it ( as my VMware friends had said we can opt for it)
Now the offices have started, I am scared if they call me to office , I have 14months son, not willing to leave him n go for office.
So if I ask manager to give me permanent wfh will they agree ?
Any tips for HireVue interviews/Delta Airlines?

Any one familiar with comp for a Portfolio Associate roll at PIMCO on their mortgage backed securities team? I’m looking at an offer and want make sure I’m in line with the average comp for the company and industry. Only 4 months of experience and offer is 98k w/ 10-20% bonus plus 15k relo/ sign on. Looking at Glassdoor, bonuses seem higher than quoted by the hiring manager. (No written offer yet they say they’re still working on it)

Never heard of anyone sending hand written thank you cards after interviews. I bet GS1 is a hardo chick that takes detailed notes in mandatory compliance trainings
Lol I’d reject anyone who gave me a handwritten card...
Absolutely - was up against equally qualified candidate and I got the job because I sent them. Email immediately and then send on good card stock in the post that day or next (and do NOT use ones that have ‘thank you’ embossed. Cranes boxed from Papyrus or elsewhere are fine). Bring up something from the conversation unique to the recipient to be careful that they’re not identically worded. Huge sigh of relief for that I when I heard that mine were such an anomaly that the recipients compared content. Good luck!
Every time. Sending them won’t count against you, but some petty person might be offended if you don’t. Just make sure you check your spelling and grammar about 20 times
Having been on both sides of multiple processes, I’m pretty sure sending nice stationary is a negative expected value proposition. I always have an email waiting for me right after the interview asking for a thumbs up or down. Seems like the decision will have already been made by the time your stuff arrives in the mail
^ an attitude like that is how you ended up at DB
It really doesn’t make a difference. I only send them when I’m unsure how it went - typically a gracious reply has been a good sign ime
Every single time, right after the interview
It doesnt hurt
^ absolutely every time for both email and handwritten
I think you just get a kick out of going the extra 10 miles and are struggling to dress this up as the most rational approach. But it does actually matter whether the decision has or hasn’t been made. And it probably isn’t worth the time and effort to curry goodwill from people that have already rejected you.
^haha Asos1... and wrong. Just someone who’s been on both sides of the hiring process. For every person who asks about GPA because they’re sweating not differentiating from all the other candidates, are you really such a hardo about NOT putting pen to paper and putting a stamp on it? Saw a senior M&A banker walk out of his office and question his assistant on a name that kept coming up in his meeting requests, didn’t have a clue who it was. Things got very awkward when she pointed to the Analyst the next cube over who he’d been working with almost every day for close to 2 years (who happened to be watching it go down.) Don’t think anyone’s going to invest in remembering your name unless you give them a reason. It’s a given you’ll produce good work, no one will notice/congratulate you for that. The rest is up to you.
Doesn’t really matter to me, having been on both sides as well. A handwritten note would be weird
Seriously - turn off. If you are good assume people will have figured out themselves (because they think they can). Don’t send emails (or handwritten notes).
Not necessarily and doesn’t make a difference even if the decision is already made. It’s to your advantage to be perceived as having good manners, that sticks with people. If you have to take someone to a client, you waste zero energy worrying if they can handle themselves and don’t embarrass you.
Never
I don’t know why this is ever a question People hire people. Just be polite and courteous for the time they took out of their work day to interview you. I personally hate interviewing people because it takes a few hours out of my work day. I think being aware of that is important
^yup. I have seen once where a friend was mentoring a student over the course of a few weeks and then that student got an internship here - he then sent a card to her to say thanks. Thought that was sweet. Just after a 30min interview is overkill.
Maybe - let’s speak in 13 years and see if you are still around
GS1 this story was hilarious but also totally non responsive to whether your efforts are worthwhile. I’m basically asking a math question and your talking about why relationships are good. We’re talking past one another
