God public sector was going to be my suggestion, but having done both, healthcare is worse. Public sector doesn’t even pretend to be fast; healthcare’s like “We need a decision, pronto. Call the decision makers. All 18 of them. When you can get them in the room in 7 weeks. It’s urgent."

I have applied for BA-4 position in Analytics in Barclays Pune. All rounds are cleared, only HR negotiation is left. In the application form I hav filled 24 LPA as preferred salary. My Current CTC is 12 LPA and in this market scenario asking for 100% hike is a norm.

Still, I was wondering
a. if 24 LPA is it too much to ask?
b. Will they get back to me for re- negotiation or just never bother?
c. Minimum CTC, I make the switch?
d. CTC range BA 4 generally have?

Hi, I cleared all the rounds in mindtree as per the information from mindtree recruitment team. But my current status in their portal is "Parked"(Earlier it was "Shortlisted"). When I called and asked them they mentioned I've cleared all the rounds and my offer has sent for approval and once they get the approval then they will inform me or send me an offer

May I know how long does it take to get offer from mindtree once all rounds are cleared. I'm bit concerned becuz it's more than 17 days now

I recently left a company because I didn’t see eye to eye with management about recruitment. The company I worked for regularly touts its commitment to D&I but in the recruitment process my candidates were routinely exited for having natural hair, being too old, too “urban”, etc. I’m not looking to bitterly blow up their spot but I feel like someone needs to be aware of this. This was done at the higher levels of local leadership and I have no connection with anyone in corporate. What to do?

Joined a company months ago in a new industry and was told to own the company enterprise roadmap. It’s a new pillar for the company (of 4). Since I’m new and lack industry experience, is it a fair ask that my boss or their boss should be able to articulate the vision for that? Or set objectives/goals? They reply with just “you own the roadmap” and quite frankly I feel like they don’t know what they’re doing (they both don’t have domain expertise either). Am I being set up for failure?

I just started a new job. I left my previous job because the environment wasn’t healthy and almost all of my colleagues left.

How bad would it be to quit after only 2-4 weeks? Or, instead of quitting should I ask if I can move internally?
