JOB SCAMS: Is Glassdoor still reliable?
​I'm curious about your recent experiences.
​Are the listings you see actually real, or just "ghost jobs"?
​How confident are you when applying directly through the platform?
​Is their verification process doing enough to protect us?
​Share your story. Have you found a career gem lately, or just a sophisticated scam?

Im pretty sure alot of the jobs on glassdoor are ghost jobs- I see alot of the same jobs get reposted constantly, even the ones I've never received a response from. Not only that, but whenever I apply to these jobs, I get tons of spam emails or somehow end up on a mailing list.

I have also encountered jobs where either the company didnt have a real page on glassdoor/linkedin or there were weird inconsistencies while researching to see if the job was legit. I wouldn't apply directly to glassdoor or indeed for this reason.

I like to check and see if the job is posted on the companies website as its more likely to be a real job. Im not familiar with the pricing of glassdoor or indeed, but i think anybody can post a free job :/

I have noticed that most jobs I have applied to are fake jobs to gain access to potential future employees data. I have stricken all businesses who practice it from my job palette. They are black listed and will never receive my attention again.

i would say if you are applying for a job do it on the company website and ensure that company is a reputable one not sending an application to an email.

What’s the best way to turn down a 2nd interview? During the 1st interview, I learned that the compensation for the role is not within the range that I am looking for and requires 400 more billable hours a year than what I bill now. I’d basically be laterally for my current salary just to bill 400 more hours. I also wasn’t aware that the local office was strictly ID. Firm website advertises lots of practice areas. Any advice? TIA!

Anyone else feel discourage ? I thought my interview went amazing and today I received the standard email rejection. I don’t know how many times I’ve seen those emails but this one hurt more than the others. I sat in my car and just cried. Hiding from my family, so they wouldn’t feel bad with me. Picked myself up, gave a few encouraging words to myself in the mirror and put my fake face on for my family. Can anyone else relate ?

Wondering if I’m making the right choice

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?
