I had an interview today where I may have been the most honest I have been in my entire career. Literally do not give a fuck any more.

If you were honest you can count on a rejection email.

That’s how I felt! I wasn’t stressing over interview prep because I don’t feel the pressure of finding a new job like when i was laid off. If it happens and i get a new job, great. But im also content where im at.

If PwC is anywhere as anal retentive as it was in the early 2000s, it wouldn't take much, am guessing. Just don't go all Elon Musk levels of candor.

Honesty is the best way to get a job that is both technically and culturally a good fit.

It was really easy to talk to this interviewer (ex-Accenture), and I ended up telling them why I got rejected from an Accenture interview in 2019. I really just did not care. I guess I am just becoming more confident in myself.

I would pick someone somewhat candid for a position now over anyone sneaky, assuming they weren't clashing with my goals in my team. In a job market like this, that and loyalty matter.

Hello. Does anyone know the pay scale range for Program manager II in HR India Org? I am currently an L5 PM with a CTC of 22L and i am not so sure if i will get a hike during this internal transfer (IJP) to HR India org (recruiting side). Appreciate any suggestions :)

I am an associate at a UMM and my employment contract has a 4 month non compete (yes, even for associates) but I am thinking of lateraling. What are the implications of breaking a non compete? I didn’t say anything when I signed because I was desperate for a PE offer but it seems so unfair as I am just a lowly associate. I am not so much worried about getting sued, but about my current employer tanking my reputation if I leave and break the non compete.

Incoming junior-level consultant wants to know what is “billable hour”.
Once in a while I see discussions around billable hours, but I don’t know how that works. After googling, it appears to me that billable hour only matters to me if my salary is paid by hours. Since I will receive a fixed annual salary, does this mean that I don’t need to worry about the concept of billable hours?
A related questions: generally speaking, is the bonus related to the hours that I worked?
Thanks!

Was hoping AMZN would be higher but they pegged the role a lvl lower than originally discussed during the process...so here we are.

Not sure if I should play my hand and push for more to stay or if they will just say "wait 5 weeks or here is the door"

One of the managers on my team continually throws me under the bus to the whole team even though I have proof to back up they’re wrong and it was their mistake. It’s just so infuriating. I have to just suck it up and take it even though I haven’t done anything wrong. When we’re 1 on 1, they admit their mistake and apologizes to me but also gaslights me. To the team they says it’s all my fault.
