Have a FAANG interview in 1 hour, not nervous at all ... Already have one offer in hand. Is it normal? I wanted to go to FAANG so badly until recently I got rejected by Google, cleared my head and now I don't even care anymore.

What did you do clear your head? Have been dealing with a few rejections lately.

No, I was the same way, I have done 7 loops over the last 10 years, the first 2 were a no, and after that, I don't care and interview much better. I assume I am not getting the job so no pressure. Companies with offers were Amazon (3), Microsoft (2) google was a no both times, and to be honest that was a very good thing, google isn't nearly as good as it was 7-10 years ago.

I recently had an interview with the hiring manager and they did 95% of the talking. It was the weirdest interview I’ve ever had. I didn’t know whether to interrupt and get a question and some comments in or stay quiet and listen. I couldn’t even gauge how it went. Has this happened to you.?
Also on average how many jobs do people typically interview for before they get an offer?

Hi synechron folks,
Can you tell about the company? I was directly interviewed for UBS client. But after reading on forums I see they fire people on short notice, Is this true? Please guide me. Thanks

I'm doing everything in my power to not quit without another job lined up, and every interview falls through. I'm overwhelmed by my clients, I've had enough corporate koolaid for a lifetime, I could not care less about what I do, and I've started exhibiting destructive behaviors at work but keep getting told I'm doing great.

If I'm going to be stuck here, clearly my attitude is the main problem. How have you learned to find joy in your job? What makes you feel like you matter here? Why stay?

I moved to Canada from India 2.5 years ago for my PG in IT BA. I have a bachelors in IT and I worked as a developer for 5 years back home. After my PG, I spent 8 months looking for a job, my current company interviewed me for Technical project manager, but they offered me the role of a PC. I accepted it without negotiating as I did not want to lose the opportunity, I am extremely underpaid and I have been doing the job of 3 people, as my company keeps firing folks. I’ve lost all my confidence.
