I have a sql coding test in a week for an interview and I’m not the most well versed in complex queries/brainteasers. If I get truly stuck multiple times, what is the best approach? The interviewer will be watching me over video. Should I admit I’m stuck, and if so, can I do that without blowing my chances?

Hi fishes,
What questions shall I expect during the VP round for Genpact??
Please help.

Does anyone currently work for a company that’s hiring? If so, would anyone like to throw a referral my way? 😇

JD - graduated in May. I started working for a small firm in March, during my last semester. I stayed with the firm until this month: pay was garbage, and supervisor started treating me poorly when they found out I was interviewing for other firms.

I’ve been applying and interviewing for months. I hate to say that I am desperate, but any advise would be desperately appreciated ☺️

Hi Sharks,

I have completed all my pre-joining formalities & submitted all relevant documents. Once submitting the BGV got an auto mailer saying that it would take 14 days to complete the BGV. And the days are over now. Also, so far, I didn't receive any mails.

Do I need to wait or follow up with recruiter? Please advise?

What is the difference between Principal Design Strategist & Design Strategist?

My current title is the latter and I’m interviewing for a Principal role. The title suggests it’s more senior and would appear to be a promotion on my resume but the jd sounds similar to what I’m already doing. I’m currently and IC, Principal is also IC. The only nuance I got from the recruiter is that there is no actual designing in this role.

Is this a case of title inflation?
