I applied to a company twice, and my resume was rejected flat out both times. But I just realized there is someone in the company who could give me a referral. Should I go ahead and apply to a third position with this referral or is this a lost cause?

Yes, I was rejected from a company I don’t how many times 5-10 times steadily but got the job in the end. Application doesn’t take much time go ahead and if it’s a referral even better

I would ask the referral if they could reach out to HR and see if there’s an internal link that they can use to refer you to that position or let them know that you’re applying. Possibly attach your resume to an email.

I would say that , nothing beats a failure, but a try.”Good luck!” “The third time is the charm!”

Hi Team,

How much salary I can expect for Solution Architect role in top tier companies of Netherlands and Germany location.

I have 12 years of experience.

Anyone have experience between choosing between an Industry position or making the final push (manager/SM level) for partner? How did you finally decide to go one way or the other and do you have any regrets?

I think I want to try someone new, and have an offer, but am having a bit of paralysis in making the move knowing the income/ partner lifestyle that I could be passing up…

Open to any thoughts and advice.
