I'm in favor of a 2 month, 2-way, non-binding and noncommittal relationship to start. Interviews are useless.

Agree. The issue is that those 2 months could be a complete waste in terms of training tho. It's difficult.

I'm not sure how one would eliminate at least an initial interview though. Sure, have the trial period, but you need to get candidates and before reaching that stage.

I received an offer from IBM Bangalore. However I saw openings at my preferred location Kochi only after the interviews. I called the HR after getting their point of contact mail and I asked if it's possible to switch. They said I'm already tagged to a project and that they'll check from their end if it can be done.

Anyone knows the chances of location being changed after receiving the offer and getting tagged to a project?

I have not yet accepted the offer.

Is it worth it to go back to school for a better track to a FAANG company? The division I’m currently in seems like there are no good opportunities, and I have the funds available to finish my undergraduate full time (Canada). I applied to Amazon before for a highly senior position and made it to final interview so I think I would have a better chance for a new grad type role.
