I gave 4 rounds of interview for Manager 1 but the final decision was that I am unable to raise the bar. The recruitment coordinator asked me if he can keep my details or share my details to his colleagues so that they can check if I fit in some other role in future. Any idea about the cool off period?Amazon

I recently finished my Masters in Cyber Security and have a Bachelors in Software Development. As much as I love the technical aspect of my degrees, I think the happiest me would be in tech sales. I had found an opportunity at IBM for entry level sales starting in 2023 and was wondering if anyone had gone through this or the Summit program? Looking for insight on applying and would love to chat with anyone who has or currently works for IBM! Thanks in advance!

I’d caution against it, especially if there’s a direct reporting relationship or any sort of power imbalance.

Thanks for sharing your experience
Depends how big the company is. Like company of under 1,000 employees yes… anything that’s 1,000 plus where y’all aren’t even remotely related in workforce - maybe? I wouldn’t be brave enough.

^oo id second this. Eg- one of you is in marketing and one of you is in finance, it should be ok?
Maybe as long as there is no big power differential like analyst / director

In general, I think so. I'm sure there are some couples who are able to navigate doing so successfully, but I personally don't think it's worth the risk unless you're absolutely certain this person is the one.
I don't think so. I always read these type of questions. Dating a colleague is never a bad idea as long as they keep their personal affairs personal and know how to set boundaries.
How hot are we talking? Lol! Probably not a good idea. Just flirt and let it be. Unless you really think you can be with them forever, maybe it’s meant to be! Sorry no help here.
