I once had an interview where the manager spoke poorly about their team. That told me everything I needed to know. Interviews reveal culture more than people realize. What’s the biggest red flag you’ve seen in an interview?

Probably a reverse engineering.
They want to hear some thing about your collgeues, so they try to discuss the toxic culture first.

Could be, but it’s still telling if their first move is to test your reaction to negativity.

I once asked if I was sick, could i work remotely. The man said no, you should try to get into the office unless you are on your death bed. umm okay, I was looking for RDP or Citrix, but that made the No thanks I will pass on the job easy.

Wow, that’s a hard pass. How a company treats reasonable requests says a lot about their flexibility and respect.

My company went toxic in the last couple months. Chose me and started interviewing. Had a very successful interview with Amazon but recruiter is working hard trying to place me and said there’s no knowing how long to find a team. Meanwhile I just received a Director offer for a company with a 29% pay bump July 1. If Amazon or any other FAANG/large co gets back to me, is there an acceptable way to not burn bridges with new job and accept or delay start date with FAANG? Or fuck it just hop?

My question is, ZS is giving a great package compared to what I have in Cognizant (Above 100% hike), and Cognizant is ready to retain me by giving somewhere 50%-60% hike. Will ZS be a good choice for me to switch? In terms of growth, technologies, work, pay. Or should I accept what cognizant is giving and get retained?

I have a friend who was let go a few months into his first job after college (reason: the manager felt like he wasn't grasping the training content to the level that was expected). He's worried about if he should put the experience on his resume anyway, if he does will recruiters ask why he had such a short time at this place, and what will recruiters think if he explains he was let go. What are some things recruiters expect from candidates in this situation to continue considering them?
