Hey guys, I’m currently abroad but I have a contract remote job. I’m starting my job search journey and I’m seeing a lot of remote (United States) jobs. Is it possible for a company to know I’m currently out of the states? Would you recommend going back, getting the remote job then leaving?

Companies have to know your physical location because we pay software licenses based on employee locations. Also there are data transfer regulations now with new data privacy laws. Transparency is best because you want your working relationship built on trust. But working abroad won't negatively impact your odds for a remote position.

Hello Fishes,

I currently hold offers from below:
IBM - 15.5 LPA
CTS - 18.5 LPA
PWC India - 16 LPA
Oracle Financial Services Software(OFSS) - 21 LPA

Planning to join OFSS as I will work in product development team and can work in any shift timings with WFH.

Today I had my 2nd round interview with EY GDS and got rejected.
Do I need to worry about this and feel low?
Could EY GDS would have been better instead of OFSS?

Please provide your valuable inputs.

I went from agency to in house PR 1.5 years ago (I’m at a prof services firm in nyc). There are no boundaries for communication; everyone is expected to answer emails immediately at all hours and senior people respond in minutes between about 7am-11pm, at minimum. Is this normal in the corporate, non agency world? Not sure if this is just due to the pandemic and WFH, but I was under the impression that in house life would be more chill.

A consistent piece of feedback on my yearly reviews has been that I over-bill & spend too much time on assignments.

My firm is right to expect that I manage my time better as a mid-level associate. WFH has made my time management worse.

It is absolutely insane to me how recruiter ghosting is acceptable in the world of working professionals.

I don’t care how busy they are. They seem to respond really promptly to all of my emails, but the second I am no longer of use to them, they’re too busy to fire off a ten word email.

Sending one more email letting me know that I’m not being considered for a position does not take long.

And after I took time out of my day to interview, it is the absolute least they can do.
