I have an interview with a hiring manager for IBM towards the end of the day and was wondering if anyone can give me any tips on the interview process (Integration Dev)? I already feel wildly unqualified for the position (as I made this known to the recruiter who reached out to me) but still managed to have the HM want to speak with me. Thank you in advance 🙏🏾

First, you are qualified. Conquer that negative self talk first. Then review the job description and note what you already know and can speak to for an interview. Research the items you don’t. Practice the STAR interviewing method!

Agreed, don't doubt yourself or sell yourself short! Seems like you have a great opportunity in front of you

I'm not technical but I'd make sure you're aware of our focuses (artificial intelligence and hybrid cloud) as well as showing a growth mindset and want to grow. Generally, IBMers are big into learning (we have to do 40 hours of learning every year) so I'd try to show some passion as well as history in that. Best of luck!

I don't know who needs to hear this, but I have a few former classmates and colleagues sweating over lateral interviews. Take a deep breath and relax.

First, doing these interviews does not define you as a person.

Second, take it one day at a time; if they are moving forward, they see something in you.

Third, remember that the people interviewing you are human beings. Connect with them, be personable.

Hi All!

I am currently a Senior Software Engineer(Backend) with 4 YOE. My current CTC is 21LPA (All Fixed) with additional Yearly bonus. I got a call from
Google (Pune/Bangalore/ Remote) for Software Engineer - Backend. I have the following doubts but any insights are welcome -

1. Does the lower designation offered make any difference?
2. Kinda ambiguous, but what kind of hike or ballpark pay can I expect?
3. Any similar interviews experiences or focus areas I should prepare for?

Are aggressive non-competes show stoppers for direct admit partners at MBB & T2? I'm a partner at a small boutique firm and we have very tight non-competes. Biggest issue is a 9 month period before starting new role at competing firm. I'm being recruited by a few firms. The recruiters seem to think it's a non issue but wonder if when it gets to offer stage it becomes a show stopper when partners realize I may not be able to start for 9 months. How do your firms handle these situations?

Any idea what salary I should ask for?
