I know it seems obvious but I’m realizing some agencies are not conducive for juniors. It’s uncomfortable to flat out ask this when interviewing, so what are some ways I can try and make sure I don’t end up setting myself up to fail? Or am I looking at it wrong and it just comes down to the CD I’m working under?

You can get comfortable asking during the interview orrrr reach out to some juniors at the company on LinkedIn for a quick chat

1. How do you support learning and development of junior team members?

2. Can you describe your performance evaluation process? Relatedly, are role expectations outlined for ongoing reference?

3. How do you identify and support team members' growth areas?

4. How are team members staffed? What role do interests and growth areas play in decision making?

Yeah I was always taught to get to know the CD and find out if you vibe with their philosophies and such. I’ve had good and bad CDs in one shop over the course of 2.5 years at my first gig.

Is it common to offer signing bonuses for product managers? I've only worked in small companies and I'm currently interviewing at a much larger company. I am expecting an offer this week, but the salary isn't quite where I want it to be. A signing bonus of 5 or 10k would make me feel so much better (obviously) but it would put me right where I want to be for salary this year. I'm taking a cut in salary to consider this new job but I like the company and they actually offer benefits

Am i making a mistake to ask and confirm about NP even before my offer letter or its ok to just enquire what's the process and possibility to reduce NP as we have buyout option too.

Hi Fishes, Y.O.E 7.5+ years. Tata Consultancy TCS is offering 25LPA including variable pay and everything. So just 15% increment on my current salary since they mentioned I am leaving my current organization within 1 year.

They mentioned 8-12% is VP plus 80k from that salary is paid at the end of each year. Is it a good enough salary for 7.5+ yoe candidate. Also any heads up for the things I should look out for will be really helpful.
