Interviewed with a firm and they liked me. But they think I’d be a better fit for another group in the firm. I’m currently a manager and was going for a manager position at this new firm. They said they’re not sure if they want to bring me in as a senior or a manager and that would be determined during my next round. Are they playing me? I want this job but I worked hard to get my current position. I don’t want to take a step back for no reason.

I don’t think they’re playing you. I see this frequently for folks who are on the cusp of levels for D. Years of experience required to get M differs from firm to firm and I see folks applying as Ms wanting M positions but based on their experience they’re better suited as SC, etc

If you’re dead set on M let them know. So they can keep the bar there for consideration

Agreed. You shouldn’t settle for a reduced scope unless there is an explicit reason for it.

Don't settle... if anything you should be shooting for an SM... get yourself interviews in other firms as well.. shop around...at the end of the day it's just a transaction and negotiation is a big part of the process.

Hi,

I recently gave interview in Hexaware on October 17th. They sent me the CAF form link to fill on the day of interview itself because I cleared all the rounds. I have filled that form and sent my documents for verification but I still haven't received the offer letter. I didn't resign from my current company because I want to resign after getting the offer letter only. Do they send the offer only if we resign and tell them the LWD? And how long does Hexaware takes to release the offer?

Is it common in the industry for licensed insurance agents to not get any commissions on a referral in which you personally write the policy? Ex: If a current client refers a prospect to our team, I would not receive commission. Additionally, if I write a policy for friends/family I would get a small incentive but it’s a fraction of the commission producers make.
Management is considering changing this going forward. However, I’m not sure how I should react if they keep things how they are now.

I will be doing someheavy recruiting for Product Managers. Having a hard time with the existing team to persuade them that the uniqorns they are looking for dont exist. They are fixated that unless someone does not know to work agile or have tech specific experience they dont want to see them. Some of the questions also they have for candidates are an imitation of big corp companies like google, facebook etc. I am a big advocate on giving chances and trying to get through to them. Any ideas?
