Has anyone faced a situation wherein inspite of being experienced person, I felt as if I am lagging behind since the questions/concepts asked by interviewer where something which I haven't even heard before. It seems like interviewers now a days ask whatever they feel like irrespective of whether the candidate has worked on such concepts in their existing role.

Yeah I have faced similar issues, the questions they ask are quite difficult and sometimes even though you answer most of them, they still reject you.

Yeah I know. I don't understand if they want such perfect resource then why don't they hire directly from project.

Completely agree.

For example -
People working in infra too.
Person willl be working on change management

But thy need people on incident management, change management, release management
2)Previously testers are interviewed only on their testing thinking, test writing skills and automation

Now testers are interviewed in-
UI automation
Api testing
JMETER (non functional testing)
Devops /Cloud deployment
Jenkins
etc(panel are looking for a whole team in a person)

And if questioned - they say you have to improvise and keep on learning, and that's how you can survive in IT, but this majorly makes a person to be:

Jack of all trades in sluggish, master of none😂

Exactly!!! I faced a similar situation wherein I was grilled concepts which hardly anyone of my techstack might have heard or applied upon. I mean it's not that feasible to know everything of a particular techstack when you don't actually use it in your routine tasks, that too for a 30 min interview which won't even guarantee a job. Recruitment seems strange nowadays

Hey team! So I was laid off from my SDR position about a week ago. A couple months back, I had an offer for a BDR position that I ended up turning down but I really liked and connected with the manager. Is it worth it to reach out? I applied to other positions in the same company. What about reaching out to previous co workers at a different company? Not sure how to navigate this… please help. Also I’m sorry if this is the wrong bowl to post in.

Hi guys, After CAF completion by last week, yesterday I received a call from the HR for the second round of evaluation. So, I attended it yesterday and performed well by answering 90-95% of the questions. Even the interviewer gave good comments on my performance. But suddenly today I received an email that my candidature isn't suitable for the role and they're keeping my profile in the database. Does this mean they'll call me if there are openings with some other project?
