Story time? 😃

What was the interviewer’s reaction?

Story time! I could use it, been through a similar situation (minus the reaction) with a different company as well.

I suggest providing feedback to the recruiter on that experience. As an interviewer at Amazon, the customer (interviewed) experience is our number one tenant, and if the interviewer was not supportive and even attempt to save the interview then they feedback that this is not acceptable.

Would love to speak with anyone who made an exit from consulting shortly after reaching M. How did you think about the following?

1. What functional roles will you actually be good fit for? How does one really know? My resume of case work just confuses me tbh

2. What level should you / did you shoot for? Is AD a realistic goal?

3. What platform did you use to search for jobs? LinkedIn?

3. How did you shortlist your set of target companies?

4. How did you ultimately land the "right" job?

How companies are hard today on preferred qualifications vs mandatory?

Because you will always find candidates that will fill the preferred qualifications so it easier for these companies to recruit those over great candidates but without the background.

Tell me about your experience and if you were a candidate without the preferred and you finally got hired.

Hi All,

I have an offer from JPMC and joining is on the 23rd of this month. I have given 2 rounds of interviews in Dell and they said I'm selected, only one round is pending and they need 1-2 weeks of time to release the offer. Should I wait for a Dell offer or join JPMC.

I have already spoken to the Manager and MD at JPMC regarding the project and other things. So I'm confused whether not to join JPMC or not.

Dell is ready to offer around 6-7 LPA more than JPMC
