I've been interviewing with some companies, and now I have to decide between JPMorgan Chase and Globant.
Globant is more innovative, and has remote work. I will enter to work with a Sillicon Valley startup based in San Francisco. The tech stack is React, Nextjs, AWS, and a serverless architecture.
JPM is semi remote, and less innovative. The tech stack Java, SpringBoot and AWS. But I'd do more migration tasks, like dockerize projects and pass them to kubernetes. What would you choose?
Interview with BCG coming up. What to expect?

Along the “doctor’s appointment” narrative:
- power outage
- fire in the building
- fire alarm
- flooding in your house
- internet problems
- war
Consider the "cleanup work" associated with these things - appraiser, estimators, repairmen, installers, etc
+ Food delivery slots, doggie breaks, etc

I’m running out of times my wife’s tire gets a flat or my internet had an outage or dentist appointments. I had one time a recruiter was like “could you do 4 separate 1-hr video interviews this week” on a Monday. Dunno how to carve out enough time for networking and interviewing

Say you have blood in your stool. It’s gross, so people will believe you.
Who is going to lie about that?

If you’re managing multiple projects, best excuse is to blame other project and that you have a conflict. I always pull that bs card when I need to schedule a bunch of “on site” virtual interviews
Coach
For a month or 2 beforehand, start blocking off 1 hour randomly on your calendar during business hours a couple times a week. If you have an interview, put it there, otherwise just use it for a short breather or bathroom break before getting back to work.
Hair cut, kid needs child care, mental health break, massage, parents need help with something, something about home repair, utility guy is coming, etc
Just say you had a kid. That will buy you a couple months 😎

Throw in a story about a root canal or implant. That’ll take multiple visits / extended recovery time
Just screw it and decline the meeting invites. Not like you gonna be there much longer anway since you're planning to leave
