Does anyone else find it awkward reaching out on LinkedIn to people you partied with a decade ago in college for career stuff? Like the last time I saw you we were probably doing keg stands but I’d love a referral to your company 😅

I think it's fine as long as you weren't a jerk to them. That happened to me where someone I hadn't talked to in 5 years reached out and was like, oh how are you?!? We haven't talked in so long! Can you do me a favor? I didn't even respond because my knee jerk reaction was, you were always a jerk to me, why would I help you?

Yeah I actually really hope she responds so we can also just catch up! I was shocked because looking at her profile made me realize we haven’t seen each other in so long 🥺 she lives in another state or else I’d absolutely take her out for a meal.

Hey folks,
I have been interviewed by 'FEI System', USA. But the offer letter which I have received is from a different company, 'Husys Consulting' Hyderabad.
When I asked them the reason behind this, they told me that FEI System has no physical presence in India, so 'Husys Consulting' hire on behalf of FEI System to meet legal compliance.
From the offer letter, it looks like it is third-party hiring. Should I accept this offer?
Any help would be appreciated.
