I’ve never had so many interviews that requires a design test as part of the process until the pandemic. Has this been the case for anyone else?

Unless you’re applying for a Product Design/UI/UX position, there probably won’t be a design test.

I’ve seen a few companies do this, actually.

Out of the norm for Art Direction. Could be a symptom of an aggressive candidate market. Still sounds off. Are you applying to a lot of digital shops where AD may mean designer?

You have a good point! The interviews that ask for this have been for a Graphic Designer, whereas I haven’t run into this when applying for AD positions. Never noticed this until now.

Run! No.

I like to apply for Product Manager roles at Amazon since I like the role. I have done front office CRM (SAP) implementations for Fortune50 clients through Accenture.
It is more of sitting with users to understand their process and map it to CRM suite and build additional features to map their specific processes.
I have also worked on sales, BD and functional spec creation for new features.
Can I count these as Product Management experience while applying for Amazon or other Faangmula?

I'm holding an offer from MakeMyTrip and another offer from OlaElectric. Ninjacart is willing to make me an offer.

There's been a delay from HRs of the companies in a similar way. How do I urge them to send me the offer letter without sounding pushy? I had reached out to some of the HRs myself. Would that be too awkward if I accept & back out their offer?

Round or exact numbers on banners/LPs? I was curious about this since in negotiations for example or pricing it's better to have the exact number. But if you have a case study, for example, is it better to say "Client X increased their revenue to 1,000,000 ARR" instead of "Client X increased their revenue to 987,500 ARR" ? Anyone has seen any impact on conversion rates?
