In interviewing for senior level (e.g., group director) positions, is it common for the hiring manager to have you come in to meet with all of you direct reports as a part of the interview process?

Yes. And it’s a good sign on all sides

Yes and you should want that too

If a company does this, it is the final stage- a chemistry check. I think it’s good to meet your future direct reports, but they shouldn’t be interviewing you, but more about chemistry. If they are meeting you, that should be the final stage. I once interviewed at a small agency and they had me meet with the most junior people on the staff - I found that to be highly unusual and it turned me off. But to meet with your directs is a good thing

not common but not unheard of either.

Yes. This is common

Yes and a good move for all. Best if you are able to meet with them privately versus a “chaperoned” interview. That action itself speaks volumes.

I don’t know if it’s common but it signals an organization that cares about finding the right fit and also one that values the opinions of everyone

Great sign

^ Totally agreed on the chaperoned part. That's a red flag and negates the whole thing.

Hi everyone,
I relocated with my family to Ireland recently, one month ago, and while I got a lot of screening calls with recruiters, I did not hear back from any of them after our interview. I am still on the process of getting my work permit and I am very clear about this during the interviews, but I suspect that this is the reason why I am not getting any call back. Any tips on the first screening call with recruiters? Should I touch base with them after our interviews?

I spoke with a recruiter recently about a position in her company and before we even began talking about the job, she asked if I needed an sponsorship, I told her no, I dont need one. But she continued to press on the subject until I had to tell her I was a US citizen. I dont know why, but the whole conversation made me extremely uncomfortable. So my question is, can recruiters ask you about your visa/immigration status even when I told her I didnt need a sponsorship??

Based on the Gross salary offered I have calculated the in hand salary per month would be around 152000 considering 150000 in 80C, 50000 in NPS and 200000 deductions due to home loan interest. Total tax liability is around 400000. Any other options do I have to save tax further (other than HRA, LTA)? Thanks in advance.
