Has anyone actually had a company ask to reach out to your references during the interview process, particularly at the Analyst level? I'd prefer nobody knows I'm looking so not sure what to do.

Yes they sure will. Use colleagues at other firms that have work d with you and can talk you up. My current boss spoke to 2/3 referrals, asking similar questions you may hear in interview.

Hello all. I have applied for almost 600 jobs over LinkedIn since we shifted to Dubai in January 2022, I received a call back only from 1 employer, I went through the interview process with them but the result was rejection. It's been 8 months since the move but there is no luck in finding a job here in the HR domain. Can someone help me with understanding the market in the UAE related to the HR domain?

Has anyone ever asked to renegotiate their salary after starting a job? I’m 2 months into my new job and I have far more responsibilities than what I was told. It’s a lot different than what was relayed in the posting and during the interviews. Additionally, they hired my counter part in as a senior manager which is at least $30k more than what I make. My peer has more experience so I expect that but I feel that I should be paid more, however I don’t want to leave a bad impression… any advice?
