Interviewed as Technical Program Manager, is it possible to work with the recruiter to ditch the Technical round and aim for Program Manager to increase HC chance? Recruiter said that if I don't feel comfortable for the "technical" piece, then we can hold on sending packet to HC.

I’ve never heard of cherry picking which interview to present to HC. Very curious.

Yes. I'm on a hiring committee and a people manager. Are you interviewing for a specific role? If yes, make sure the hiring manager is open to PgMs. Since TPM was a possibility for you I'm assuming you have some technical background/aptitude. If you're going through the general hiring process, there are plenty of PgM roles.

That said, it doesn't necessarily increase your chance of getting hired. But if you don't want your world to be focused on the technical side, it's just another option..

Hi Fishes,

I have given my interview in HCL and cleared 1 TP, 1 hcl manager & Client TP and Client Manager rounds .
In initial screening HR told the generic statement of 30-40% and I have given my ask as 50% minimum. After clearing the rounds I heard from the project team that Client has given great feedback and wanted to take me in .
What is the % I can ask in HR Discussion and will they reject in HR if I ask more now .
I have 9.5 years total experience and role is Storage Architect.
Thanks
