Previous client interviewed me for a role at a new company he just joined. We chatted in depth about the role & what it would look like the first year. Red flags started going off

when he said he is certified in Meyers Briggs (if you have a MA or Phd in IO psychology you know this assessment is statistically invalid and a complete farce in the IO community. It would not hold up in court if actually used for any type of hiring or promotion decisions) & that it could be an option to be used as part of the development program they are trying to build at this company.

Some of the things he discussed implementing and building out, are against best practices/industry standards in Human Capital/HR. And now I’m just thinking “wtf”. Do I take the role anyways and just create BS programs & as long as he’s happy, I’m ok?

Hello everyone. I interviewed at Google last month and was rejected after the 2nd interview (non-tech role). I will definitely apply again after 6-12 months but since I didn’t make it to the on-site round, how likely are the chances that Google will reach out to me again in the near future?

I will also appreciate referrals at FAANG companies (non-tech business roles). My most recent role has been of an Executive (early professional stage). Thank you :)

Hi folks,

Partners or whomever can help me understand about billing and hours. To keep things simple, let’s say you only have one staff to work 1,700 billable hours a year on a $60k salary and you have only one job that and the rate charged to the client is $300/hour and an projected hours budget of 1,700 hours. So ideally you would have revenue of $510k. If the staff takes less time partners make less money and if they take more time partners make more money while the staff keeps the same salary?

I'm drowning in one-off business logic or planning requests ever since the last shuffle of devs. I'm the most senior, and def know the most, but on a team where our devs wear many hats, it means that I don't get to code nearly as much as I want to.

I also feel like these one-off requests do nothing for my career, as they're not seen as valuable to anyone other than the requesters.

Has anyone been in this position? What do I do to combat this?
