If I have 2-3 years of work experience post grad, should I be listing “education” as my first section on my resume? Or should the very first section after my “header” section be “experience?” Or does it not matter?

I would recommend listing your experience first and lead with it. Disclaimer: I am not an HR manger or resume specialist. However, I am a hiring manager and know I would find it odd if an applicant did not list experience first. Good luck my friend!

Yeah,
I agree with this

No, should be after your experience, most people will ignore it over the experience unless it’s a prestigious school.

2-3 years experience is still experience. List that first unless you’re just graduating. . .

As a hiring manager, I'd expect to see work experience first.

Hi ,

I have 5 years of experience as a .NET Full stack developer. I am holding offer of 21 LPA and I had HR discussion with Mastercard.

HR is not ready to share the exact budget they have (weird!! because HR usually give the idea of how much they can offer )

HR is asking me to expect something on top of the current offer I am holding.

The opening is for L8. How much offer I should expect from mastercard??

So, I just joined a startup. No processes, no clear strategy, just one goal: selling. Getting leads. When ever I try to build a strategy, they (founders) swamp me with blablabla stories and not a single action plan. Is this the usual at startups? Also,no real company culture. At all. No HR. I am reaaaally struggling to get a sense of belonging here. What should I expect?? Tia
