Hey guys, need some help from anyone in Cisco. My brothers received a text message saying he has been selected for an interview and now the lady is chatting with him on GroupMe. He had applied for a financial analyst position a while ago, and now she’s pitching him some role that “records payslips”. I’m quite sure this is a scam, but on the off chance this isn’t, can anyone from Cisco confirm whether they’ve received an interview call like this and had to do the interview on GroupMe?

Scam, Cisco conducts the interviews via Webex almost exclusively.

Really appreciate you confirming this!

Have him tell the person that they would rather communicate by WebEx or email (where you can verify the @cisco.com email of who you’re talking with). if they refuse or invent some excuses as to why they can’t… well, there’s your answer.

(no one here uses GroupMe for anything official).

I recently interviewed with Natwest and I got confirmation that they wanted to offer a role. Salary negotiations were started. However, now I got an email from the hiring manager that hiring for my role has been paused due to the ongoing cost of living crisis. He expects to resume the hiring for the role in Q1 '23 and would resume the process then. So is it the end? Honestly, I don't expect him to come back. But what do you think?

Hi all, was hoping for clarity on offers from FANG/Tier 2 tech I received recently. Base pay is still within range of 130-150K, but equity components have dropped dramatically. For reference, for similar positions, I was receiving grants of 150K - 200K over 4 years for data analyst positions (4-5 YOE) in Aug’21-Feb’22. For personal reasons, I did not accept these offers. Now the equity grants are coming in like 50-70K over 4 years. Is this market wide for non SWE/PM roles due to stock market?
