Okay so I was supposed to chat with a recruiter about sharing my reference contacts for a reference check. He's been MIA for three days citing that he's been under the weather.

Should I be worried? Is this a strategy commonly used to stall or is he actually just sick?

That's true, thank you

It’s cold and flu season. Or maybe he has family/personal issues happening and saying he’s sick is easier. I wouldn’t worry.

Thank you! Overthinking is beginning to get the best of me lol

Don't start worrying. Things happen, and there's no reason for them to stall. Just give them a few days and send a follow up.

As long as they are responding to your emails it is a good sign. Most will just ghost you.

Okay, that's a good sign then. Fingers crossed that he gets well soon 🤞

I feel they would have no reason to lie. If they were uninterested, they would have no problem telling you since they reject candidates all the time.

LOL no...its not a common stall. I would say he is probably actually sick. I wouldn't sweat it.

I've been interviewing with some companies, and now I have to decide between JPMorgan Chase and Globant.

Globant is more innovative, and has remote work. I will enter to work with a Sillicon Valley startup based in San Francisco. The tech stack is React, Nextjs, AWS, and a serverless architecture.

JPM is semi remote, and less innovative. The tech stack Java, SpringBoot and AWS. But I'd do more migration tasks, like dockerize projects and pass them to kubernetes. What would you choose?

Hi all, was hoping for clarity on offers from FANG/Tier 2 tech I received recently. Base pay is still within range of 130-150K, but equity components have dropped dramatically.

Now the equity grants are coming in like 50-70K over 4 years. Is this market wide for non SWE/PM roles due to stock market?
