Does anyone ever just interview with random companies to stay sharp? I’m definitely not ready to leave consulting or my firm, but I want to keep my interview skills strong.

Yes, but this is also how I ended up accepting a job that I initially had no intent of taking.

Nah I'd rather enjoy my free time

I’m not actively looking to leave, but if something really cool comes up I throw an application in and interview.

I've wanted to, but I honestly worry current firm may find out and could hurt my chances here.

Hello Fishs,

I have given 3 rounds of interview for the position of SE- B8 , i.e. Lead SE. Now in salary discussion round i asked HR for a CTC between a range of 31-34L. But they told me max they can give is 29.5L. I still did not accepted the initial offer from HR, it is going again one more round for salary negotiation after HR confirms the bracket from Business. I know Natwest dont negotiate once you accepted the offer. What CTC can i expect from Natwest for Lead SE.

I am finishing up a project and I’m trying to document what I’ve done for my resume. What are some good metrics for someone who mainly created user stories, created dashboards, interacted with the client and developed statistical models? One of my dashboards got deployed to production but it’s to early to see the impact. My other dashboards are almost done but I’m moving on to something else.

Initial phase - Candidates struggling to get interview calls.

Ending phase - Companies struggling to match a higher offer.

30 days notice period can really solve everyone's struggle.
