I was asked in a job interview “What are you passionate about?” Well, glad you asked. My current passion is dropping my 4 & 6 year old off at camp, followed by a guilt filled nap (unemployed). Upon waking, I love a good turkey sandwich which I eat while watching 1980’s reruns of Unsolved Mysteries on that weird Roku channel. And then I organize a sock drawer if I’m lucky. I think there are ‘passions’ in my brain somewhere, maybe they’ll come back to the surface someday. And also I got the job 🙌

Honestly turkey sandwiches are a legit passion. I love a generous amount of mayo on both sides and tomatoes with salt sprinkled on it directly on the mayo.

I applaud that. I prefer mustard on one side, mayo on the other, pepper on the turkey, with cheese. And embarrassingly, a potato chip inserted into each bite. I understand the tomato thing, for some reason I just never wanted it on the sandwich. Now we know each other’s sandwich stories. 😂

So what happened to the sock drawer? Hee hee congrats!

Hey all! I went through the interviewing process with a company and we had a verbal agreement on X amount of salary per year. They liked me and extended an offer but the offer was for $15K less than what we agreed bc that’s what HR approved for. I was desperate so I took it. Accepting this offer meant that I had to relocate to the other side of the country. Omw that was 2500 miles, I received a call that they rescinded the offer. Is there anything legal that I can do to sue them?

I have cleared 2 rounds of technical interview and shared all documents with HR. They are giving me lesser package than what I have asked for. Does Capgemini give counter offer if I get offer from other organisation and share with them ?? Yoe-10, tech stack - big data Hadoop developer.

Hi all,
Need some advice.
I got the highest offer from LnT worth 17, but I can try for some more comapnies and get higher offers.
But ,I also want to retain in capgemini if they match the package.
Should I stop interviews & approach my manager or should I wait for him to call me again ? He had already called once saying he would match the package.
Am I being too greedy if I ask for 18/19 to retain?Or should I just ask for 17 so that repport between me and my manager remains intact?
