Hey what would you do if an HR wont let you reject an offer? I am not looking to renegotiate and the HR now has reached out to me to speak to the hiring manager. How to handle this without burning any bridges?

This has happened to me once and I refused to take the offer. To be honest I had reneged as well. No renegotiation but the manager went on to convince me how good the team was or the role was. I took a different path but what I felt comfortable with the most then. Take your stance. And if you feel uncomfortable saying no, then let him or her know that you will take some time to go over the conversation and process your thoughts. You can then send an email stating a negative and ensuring to be in touch etc

They stated 120k+ is extremely high for that role. What do you guys think? Playing the game?

Hi friends,

Please suggest which offer to choose

1) Fidelity Investment on PLSql (25 LPA)
2) Virtusa on Data Engineer role (not yet confirmed)

Having 9 years of total experience and I was basically a PLSQL developer.

After the initial interview with a recruiter, how long does it usually take to hear back about next steps and talking to the hiring manager? When is a good time to follow up?

I’ve been supply chain consulting for 6 years. Is there a logical pivot in to a tech or non tech role at a FAANG that is worth the career shift?

I have extensive SQL background but not much else that is technically related other than solution architecture.

Does program management make sense as a career shift?
