I am trying to transition into a male dominated industry and just had two really horrible interviews. While they were happening, it seemed like I was doing a great job...

They may have had a past employee not work out after a short period of time. That happened to my team recently so they could be being extra cautious. Be confident!

Because they were weird doesn’t mean you suck. It just means they are very investigative in their interviews for some reason.

But later they asked for more emphasis on past projects, bringing up the smallest details needed to bring me on as a candidate. While I’m not out of the running, I’m exhausted from going over my portfolio so much and having to jump through so many hoops to prove my past experience. I’m doubting my skills now. Each of these teams would be 100% male except for me and I’m having a hard time believing that they put everyone they interview through this process. Is this an experience vs potential issue because I’m female or do I just suck?

I can’t imagine working with all men would be anything but exhausting so maybe this is a hint at things to come should you get the job. I would probably pass if I were you

Hi, fishes.
A quick query here.

I'm going to move from non IT profile to IT profile. Basically I'll be applying as front end engineer in new company. Previously I was working in a BPO profile.
Just wanted to ask if I'll be provided training in my initial months as a front end engineer or am I expected to work from the very first day.
Your comments will be really helpful.

Thank you.

Had an interview for an associate position at Citi. Interviewee was based in London and I’m in NYC. The only interview time that worked was 6am. I was barely functioning and feel like I truly messed up in my answers because I couldn’t not think clearly. I have another with the head of the division next week again at 6am (pre determined before this interview). It was also hard because the division’s core work is private enough that there was not much prep I could do beforehand. Tips?

Fellow introverts...can I only advance in my career if I take on a leadership role? The thought of this terrifies me. My current boss hasn't exactly given me the confidence that would reassure me that I'm leadership material. He constantly questions my design choices, which I'm able to defend. It doesn't help that he always presents outdated ideas and throws UX out the window. I know that I know my stuff and keep up with best practices. I have 4+ years experience but am treated as entry level.
