I had to pull back from volunteering too much information about myself. When the interviewer and I shared very similar experiences from the past it tended to put us on a n equal footing, maybe even too equal...... but then again age and experience can always come back to bite you.

I don't divulge any personal information during interviews unless asked directly. And even then I'll give as vague a response as I can reasonably get away with. I'm not there to make friends, I'm there to exchange my time for money.

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.

Although Amazon has instituted a hiring freeze and layoffs are probably on their way, I went through the loop for a security engineer position at AWS. Before I attended the final interviews, Amazon placed the hiring freeze and called me to ask if I wanted to go ahead or cancel my application. I decided do go ahead Right now I'm waiting for their response and the position I applied to changed from "under consideration" to "no longer under consideration". Thoughts?
