I got rejected for an associate position after went through all rounds of interview a couple of months ago. At the same time, I also applied for senior associate position in the same group. Today, I received an email asking my availability for screening interview for the senior position. I never had this experience before so am trying to understand what to do in this situation.

If they ask, just tell them you didn’t get the job because you were over qualified.

Most likely a new recruiter just pulling your resume . Happens all the time.

Yes, a different one. But would you it make sense to talk to the recruiter? I do not want to be disappointed like when I received the rejection.

Talk to the recruiter. I was rejected for a position at Mercer in SF but hired for the same position in NY. If you went through the interview process, it was the hiring manager not the recruiter who made the decision not to hire you. If this role reports to a different hiring manager, you could get a different outcome.

That makes sense! Thank you!

Hello Sharks,

Can you please help me decide for the profile of senior software engineer between:

2. Virtusa - 25lpa Fixed (Intuit client)

YOE : 5
Tech Stack: Python
I am a bit biased towards joining CGI but on the other side, Virtusa is offering more.
My preference would be good WLB & Job security.

Thanks in advance :)
