I felt the same when I interviewed at Amazon. Every one of my interviews had MBAs from top 10 schools. And then there is me with no MBA from a non-target liberal arts school. I still got the job! Shoot your shot.

Microsoft1, then you should know there’s a distinction between TPM vs PM within many Product orgs. Doesn’t mean non-tech PMs aren’t working on tech. No need to be an ass on top of asking stupid questions.

Awesome guys they are

like

1. Google isn’t magic - there are plenty of ex consultants, non traditional employees there.
2. There are a ton of interview prep resources. Will you need to put in the time? For sure but if a new job is worth it, it’s a small sacrifice.
3. Network - you will be surprised how many people are willing to help, answer questions about the industry and the company
4. Believe in yourself! I know it can intimidating but push forward. Never let fear guide your choices away from what you want.

Im interested in applying for the Barclays technology analyst summer internship role. However, the fear of being rejected is impeding me to actually go for it.

Completely understand if that’s not in the scope :) any means of help is appreciated!

Some recruiter in Accenture lined me up for an interview for a role which was not in my skillset ( by saying that this is just an evaluation exercise and they will map me to the right role) and obviously I got rejected.

Any idea how can I get this escalated so that the recruiter ( Accenture employee) should at least be careful in future before fooling a noob like me?

Just graduated with Aerospace Engineering degree. I am interviewing for multiple positions at once with different companies. One gave me an offer and they want me to get back to them within 2 days. I still have other interviews scheduled and some for higher paying jobs (around 90k) What should I do?
I do like the company that gave me an offer but their base pay was 80k and they went up to 85k. Is asking for them to match the 90k too much? The position is associate systems engineer.
