For people who have moved from India to the US, how different was the experience? I'm a software engineer. I want to know your feelings about differences in company culture, interviewing, and processes among other things.

It was a culture shock but got used to it after while. Theres already a judgement for being a foreigner so on top of that I have had to work twice as hard.

You must have had conversations with your friends from other companies. Is it the same experience for them too? Does it not depend on company's work culture? Just curious

I was accepted with open arms. Company culture has actually been a bit better. The interview process was quite long and I didn't get an offer for almost 4 weeks, and then another 3 weeks of logistic things before making the move. But it has been great

Have virtual interviews tomorrow and Friday (both with same company) - I know 150% if I got an offer, I would not accept. Had a ton of coaching meetings this week regarding a different offer I’ve been considering and I don’t want to leave my current place of work. Cancel tomorrow and Friday interviews or no cancel and potentially get an offer and decline? (I am fairly busy so biggest opportunity cost is my time and having to wfh to do video interviews during the workday)

I have three years of experience in agency recruiting and HR. I’m currently making 47k as an HR Coordinator.

I got laid off in January and have been trying to find a new job since. I keep making it to the phone interview and sometimes a second interview, but always get ghosted. It’s so disheartening.

I have too much experience for an internship, and I have too little to be the top choice for copywriter roles. I know I’m a good writer, I know what I’m capable of, but it’s so exhausting trying to convince people. They always like my book but it’s never enough to get the gig. What can I do?

Hi all, recently a recruiter from Amazon reached out for an SDE 2(2+ years of exp. required) role and I'm a recent CS grad.

A few hours back, I got a call from the recruiter that I had cleared the assessment and tasks and said that they are looking for 2+ years of exp. I said I'm open to the SDE1 role and said she'll ask her colleagues. Idk what to expect now 😥 Amazon Amazon India
