Does pharma industry ask for references? I’m going through interviews at a few places. Fingers crossed, but what happens after I sign the offer? If references are needed, do people typically give their manager as a reference? Sorry for being naive, BCG is my first job.

I get my friends to be my reference if possible. Most places don’t check.

I gave a peer of mine and an manager of mine from my last internship in case they wanted another perspective.

I left 1.5 years after college and didn't want my manager to use the reference as leverage over me (he had suggested doing that to another colleague that had left before).

Also didn't want to tell them until everything was finalized.

Ok, thank you! If needed, I will give a peer as well as my managers

Hi fishes,
I interviewed with
Siemens Energy for SAP ABAP position on 21st Jan. The interview went on for about an hour and in the end, the interviewer asked my expected ctc and wanted assurance if I won't negotiate on Siemens offer with some other company as i am currently serving notice period and join Siemens if provided an offer.
Till now , the HR team has not reached out to me for salary discussions and my LWD is 7th Feb. Can i expect a call or i got rejected ?Siemens

Tough time getting past final step: I’ve been trying to make a career shift for 10 months now and continue to get rejected at the last step. Im confident in the value I can provide and do well at presenting it. However, once it’s comes down to me and 1-2 other candidates, I repeatedly have been turned down for the person who has more relevant experience as they’re a safer bet for the employer. Would love advice from anyone who’s dealt with this before. It’s tough to get them to take a risk on me

I applied at Workday on 15th May and went through 7 technical rounds of interview and received a verbal offer letter of 21LPA (hybrid)
