I was offered a job with a contract that did not contain a deadline for response. I advised the employer when I would respond to them following my review of it. No response. I did so a few days later on a Friday. When I didn’t receive a response on Tuesday, I forwarded it to the other individual who had interviewed me in case the first one was on vacation. The first one then responded that they had given the job to another candidate. No warning. Was this unprofessional of them?

Just clarifying the facts stated are as.
- They did not provided a start date on the contract.
- They did not state there was a deadline or acceptable time frame for your personal review of the contract offered.
- Then as a courtesy, you provided them a by or before date for your response.
Then YES what they did was unprofessional and disrespectful.
Even if they made it clear this contract was open, and was or may be offered to multiple candidates.

Hi all, Recently i interviewed at Adobe for the post of computer scientist, Noida location. Had 5 technical rounds, but after that i didnt get any further response. One of HR called me and asked me to wait for a day or 2 last week, she gave me the reason that there are some issues going on in company. It's been 2 weeks now and i haven't got any response from them, i have been following up on mail and call, but there is no response either. What could be the reason ?? Any adobe folk out there ??

Hey all,
So I’m currently interviewing for another position, to be a business development specialist at a relatively large tech company in PA. I have about a years worth of experience. Indeed estimates the salary to be between 60k-80k, I was wondering what I should expect?

I have an interview for an AM position at a prop tech company. It’s my first AM role after doing sales. Is it common for AM’s to not receive any further compensation outside of their basic salary (so no commissions, bonuses or equity).

Hi Fishes, Have a query. My spouse is working in the electrical and electronics field for the last 15years, in various GCC countries. Now he wishes to come back to India and wants to join some company here. But seems like similar opportunities are very less, say close to 3-4%. What is your opinion if he takes a DevOps course and do a career change ? What will be the % of getting interviews ? Even if he gets selected, how much will he get?
Please reply.

Is it normal to receive such large monetary awards? I think 50~100 is acceptable
