How do you all actually find to apply for and land an OE job?

I’m looking for a decently interesting ½ to ¾ time job 2 I can do remotely from home, ideally with flex and asynch freedom, low meetings, permanent or contract work.

Would hide situation from both jobs. Would also need to honor noncompetes.

It’s hard to find any job now, so I’m struggling to find options that check most boxes to pursue. Also confused about how you dodge interview questions about why you’re searching. Any advice?

It’s always been hard to find data specific roles and now it’s even more difficult since the market is over saturated. However I just found a new role and I start by the end of this month and I have 2 J’s already. My suggestion is to focus on other technologies such as Qlik sense visualization or get a Gov job which requires clearance. Do something that sets you apart from this huge crowd! I’m planning on learning App development using flutter. I don’t know where I am going but I’ll keep learning and applying for sure. Even with 3 jobs

Thanks for the advice! I feel like I’m limiting myself by being pickier, but I’m realistic about what I’d need it make OE work. I feel like I have a decent set of more niche skill sets, so I’ll focus in on those.

Hi Fishes,

I got interviewed at infosys two days back.

Also all the questions that were asked to me were written coding questions(Write block of code) none were verbal.I could write all answers but none was 100% correct.

At last I asked the interviewer about feedback as in where was I wrong. He said at couple of places and he explained me where was I wrong.

Do you all think I will be rejected?

When I shared this scenario with my EY IN HR, she said please don't attend it may create conflict and you may also get blacklisted.

EY GDS HR is like, you can attend the interview, there's no problem at all. We don't have such a policy. Please suggest what decision I should make.
