Wanted to highlight Prudential Financial’s hiring practices. They rescinded my offer once I attempted to negotiate the salary. The official reason given was that I didn’t “sound excited enough”.
They then admittedly gave the offer to someone who was less qualified. There were other red flags throughout the job offer process that the HR team should overall be ashamed of.
I'm looking to find a job like the Forward Deployed Engineer role Palantir Technologies in the UK.
I have become hooked on finding a job that involves solving the kinds of problems they presented during their interviews. Although I got to the final round my performance anxiety got the better of me (I think I wanted the job a bit too much...). I will reapply after working in a similar company.
Is it "deep tech" / "data science" or "smart enterprise" that they're doing? Any advice welcome.

[I went through their DE Bootcamp and got job before completing the program]. Check this Bootcamp: It’s for PhD who want to transition from Academia to Industry. They have network of partners company and your wife can start interviewing while in the program. This is the fast way and probably more productive way. They have Data Science and Data Engineering track: https://www.thedataincubator.com/
The Fields Institute has a cybersecurity career transition program that might be a good fit here, too: https://cyberconnexion.ca/
She has a PhD but doesn’t get into entry level roles?
Can she code?
You work at Amazon in Tech, I suppose you started somewhere, where did you start?
Hi, i would agree with removing phd and also networking would help as well. Join some women in tech groups in Canada, reach out to C-level women in that group for mentoring and not give up!
If she is already physically present in Canada and doesn't need sponsoring, it seems strange that she can't get even phone screens. Maybe some Coursera certificate could help?
Yeah, we are here for 3 years now as permanent residents. She completed her PhD in summers and has been looking for a job since. No phone screen, not even a recruiter call yet.
Wait so she has a CS degree and a PHD my guess is that they think she’s overqualified. Have you tried platforms like Turing/Toptal etc where she can take tests and they will help her get interviews?
What is she trying to do? Architect, SWE, etc definitely. Based on her education she would need to level up on coding technical ability.
Cool cloud computing can get all the certs but still need technical coding ability to my understanding?
I started entry level in professional services at a small IT shop to get practical experience. She will get paid like crap most likely but the confidence built by implementing a variety of solutions will be a game changer.
Comp isn't a problem at all right now. Just need to Kickstart the career.
Depending on the role she wants, sometimes its easier to side step in. Tech jobs are hard to enter as they pay high so she could apply to a non-tech role to get in and then transfer within a year. A phd in maths would easily get her into a BI or data scientist role or if its an SA role she is after, T&C at AWS are always in need of trainers with AWS certificates and many of the trainers move internally to SA or other tech roles within 2 years.
Perhaps getting one or more cloud provider certifications? Generally doesn’t take long and the cost is pretty low.
