i used easy apply. worked for meee

I’m doing it through referrals and it hasn’t worked yet.

I've been reaching out to people at firms I target, but it hasn't worked yet. They probably equate me to a telemarketer.

Use the BCG job board. It’s an amazing resource where companies post that they explicitly want someone from BCG. The hit rate is insane. For every 10 application from that board, 9 will reach back out and schedule an interview with you. You’ll also never be surprised with low ball comp

I do like the company that gave me an offer but their base pay was 80k and they went up to 85k. Is asking for them to match the 90k too much? The position is associate systems engineer.

Hello Fishes,

Are the below offers on par with the market standards as a data engineer?
YOE : 4
C CTC : 9
Offers:
1. Synopsys(17L + 2L VP + 3L JB + RSU - 10K USD)
2. MAQ : 15L
3. Optum : 15L
After browsing this portal, got to know Synopsys is paying good for this role. Any suggestions?

My post is for a lot of folks here who complain about managers not budging to negotiations and not offering package ,what you are expecting.I have one thing to say,there are lot of ibm employees who moved to kyndryl. Inspite of lot of contributions they are earning meagre salary.Now do you expect these people to hire you for more package most of time the package you are demanding is more than what these managers draw. So pls do not look at kyndryl as any other startup.Thanks.
