I’ve seen great candidates get rejected for one role and hired quickly for another in the same company. Fit really is role specific. Have you ever been a better match for a different team than the one you applied to?

“Beauty is in the eye of the beholder.”, I used to not tak UI/UX serious, but now with AI, backend logic is very reproducible but good luck generating UI code thats coherent. So depends on who and where the candidates are, they can get a great gig

Completely agree — team dynamics and manager priorities shape fit just as much as technical skills do. As a recruiter, I’ve often seen candidates rejected for one team, then loved by another. One tip: don’t be afraid to ask your recruiter if your profile might be a better fit elsewhere in the org. We usually know where the vibes match.

Hi fishies,

I am a digital marketing professional with 4 years of experience. I was really frustrated in my current job due to extreme level of micro management and no growth career wise, so I have resigned on 3rd October. Tomorrow, after a meeting with ceo I will get to know how many days of NP I have to serve.
It would be really helpful if I could get referral from you guys.

I am ready to take remote jobs & even relocate to Bangalore or Pune.

Thank you!
