Has anyone landed a well paying job that they feel under qualified for? I have gotten an offer and am now second guessing whether I am suitable for the role or not or will crash as I don't really have much clue! It's also a relatively senior position - I did smash the interviews but they can only find out so much about an individual in 2 interviews...

I have not been in this situation (I did just land a high level position that I WAS qualified for, though, and it’s been fantastic thus far), but my advice would be to take it and try your best if you’re able to take some risk. Research, put in long hours, be deferential and be good diplomatically. If you end up failing, you can always go back to public accounting. I’d say congratulations and to give it a go if you can take risk

Dear Amdocs Hiring Team, Thanks for the worst experience.

When I asked the reason, you are clueless till now what to say? You guys even don't have enough courage to respond my calls. #Amdocs #Hiring

Any opening for a Business Analyst with 5 YOE?

I'm currently in a process for senior associate at a Big4. The process began on July, yet between the first and second interview it took like 3-4 weeks. And between the 2nd and 3rd like 7 weeks. I sent an email to HR during those weeks asking for an update and didn't have an answer. Then it a 3rd one was scheduled three times (the manager didn't connect to the first 2) and next week I have the last interview with 1 partner. Is the timing normal? Or were they looking for other candidates or what?

I am currently working as a delivery manager for a data science project where I manage both ML and DE teams. I am not sure what career path should I follow.

Should I drop the offer?

I feel like I was straight up lied to during the interview process. “lots of opportunities to hit quota”. I’m sitting here with only one demo two months after joining the company. it looks like our team has only two people doing demos, and demos are only happening once every two weeks. At this rate, I don’t think I’ll be even close to hitting OTE. Are there any other companies hiring right now? I’ll have a discussion about my concerns with my manager soon, but there’s too many red flags here.
