In the last 2 months I have had quite a number of interviews.

Some of the interviews were three-round interviews. The companies are MDA space, Alphawave semiconductors, Ciena, AMD, Synopsys and some other ones.

For the most part I ace the interviews, especially the technical aspects.

For some reason, they never get back to you with a reply (even if you send a follow up email). Is this a common thing that these companies do? Where they just go “ghost” on you.

this is normal for modern large corps, they operate like an organized crime with the full support form the government and do whatever they want. There is no professional culture or ethics anymore, especially with places like MDA or other space companies ; very corrupted management and dishonorable for sure

Have interviews set up at FAANG co and getting good signals, for a position that was posted widely (all across US) but not remote. Haven’t broached the subject of location yet. Would you (1) early on clearly state that you’re not open to relocation but that you would be open to visiting a big office once or twice a month; (2) not say anything now and wait to get an offer and ask for an exemption; or (3) something else?

Hi Fishes,

I am currently undergoing a recruitment exercise for the role of Senior Principal, Research with the Peers & Practitioners team at Gartner India Research & Advisory Services. My current work exp is 5 years across 2 big 4s and a KPO in India. How much hike should I quote if I clear the interviews here? Presently my CTC is around early INR1000Kp.a. Also are they giving options of a permanent WFH post covid? If not can I work from some other office such as HYD, BLR instead of NCR?

Why is it so difficult to make the next career move within your OWN company. I have over 7 years of experience across multiple departments and yet an external company is more willing to give an interview to select roles than your own home company for the same role internally!!

Where is the loyalty in that !!??
