Scale of 1-10, how crazy is it to check-in email the CDs you interviewed with? Unless there’s been a terrible accident I’m pretty sure the recruiter is ghosting me. The not knowing is killing me!

Hi Fishes, DONE MY HR ROUND AND SALARY DISCUSSION it's been 15 day's. After so many followup today got the below reply from TCS HR. ✓Your profile is still under consideration. However I still have not received confirmation on your salary yet. This will take some time. Will respond back to you as and when there is an update pls. Ibegin status -Evaluation is in progress. Please suggest if this is normal practice for TCS ? Will they proceed further? Tata Consultancy Accenture

Hi All,

One of my friend got interviewed in Deloitte and she was asked to rethink her salary ask in the HR round. She reduced it to 1L less than initial ask. Now the status is in benchmarking approval. What does that mean ? Will they release the offer letter ?

Tough time getting past final step: I’ve been trying to make a career shift for 10 months now and continue to get rejected at the last step. Im confident in the value I can provide and do well at presenting it. However, once it’s comes down to me and 1-2 other candidates, I repeatedly have been turned down for the person who has more relevant experience as they’re a safer bet for the employer. Would love advice from anyone who’s dealt with this before. It’s tough to get them to take a risk on me

Did anyone attend L3 round in State Street. How this round is going to be?

Hi all ,
I have cleared my 2 technical rounds for quantiphi and last Monday had discussion with HR. She told that she will get back in 2 day which she didn't. I called her she said she will update me later which she didn't. I called her today where she said it will take time . Please tell me whether is it fine ?

Anyone work/worked for NFP? I have a second interview tomorrow for an account manager role. Just wondering if anyone has any pros or cons I should know about. Thanks!

Warm greetings Fishes,

I am a business analyst from PwC with a 2 years experience. I was wanting to explore options McKinsey Digital. What kind of roles would be suitable for me. Thought this would be a great place to understand and further work toward profile building.

Thank you 😊

Consulting is a serial offender for crazy decks. Is anyone else fed up of being asked to format other people's messy ugly decks 😑 like seriously it's not that hard, I'm not your personal DTP.

Is anyone aware of how the Business System Analyst role is in IQVIA?

Just landed a full time gig, looking to get some furniture so I’m not working on my parents’ kitchen table during this remote period. Any recommendations for desks and chairs? I’m hoping to find something that’s easy to assemble and break down for when I need to move, and something that won’t cost an arm and a leg.

I know everyone has a different kind of setup that works for them. I currently have a laptop, drawing pad, second monitor, and a desk riser.

Thoughts on MMC as an agency?

What reliable sites do I use to do market research on local salaries? I want to know if I am being underpaid compared to my local market and similar positions, but don’t know where to begin.

Got a job as product manager reliance jio. Want to know about work life balance and career growth !

Hey y’all. I went through an exceptionally traumatizing experience a few years ago that has totally & utterly shattered my confidence, self worth, self esteem etc. I have a hard time portraying my work experience + deserving of a new role.

For context, I did well in uni, got into law school but due to finances + the experience in question I didn’t end up going. Kept working in the public sector as a coordinator & now got my scrum master certificate to transfer to SM role in finance/ tech. Help

Thoughts on the VC Royal Eagle? Seems crazy undervalued, you can get it for less than a DateJust! What am I missing here?

Is it common for HOA to ask you to prove your car registration is up to date?

Hi,

Hello Fishes, I've joined IBM last year( Oct 2021). Am I eligible for hike this year? If yes how much % can I expect? YOE - 4.2 years & pmr ratio - 1.12 band - 6B

Married to a crazy rich girlfriend and it's the worst experience of my life. She can afford anything, flying first class everywhere, wears all branded stuff and she doesnt have to work for life. I am working very hard to provide for family and I am still not able to add any value to her life and she's been distancing herself. We havent had any meaningful interaction in the past 1 year too, been sleeping separately, no touch/kiss/sex or anything like that. We might be divorcing soon...

have any (females) dealt with imposter syndrome in a male dominated sport? i just started jiu jitsu at a really great academy but for some of the classes I’m the only girl and it’s a little intimidating. i feel like i don’t belong/deserve to be there. the guys are all super nice, so it’s nothing against them, i just get in my head a lot about it.

R/GA - they are the worst. Some of the people they have hired over the years makes me wonder if their HR department is smoking crack

Anyone else get ghosted by more than one recruiter at the same agency? Thought I would have better luck when the first recruiter who was notorious for ghosting left but the new one ghosted me too...

Tfw a recruiter reaches out and asks if you’re around for a chat... Only to never respond to you again after you say yes. Just, why?!

Email response from a resume submission requesting times to chat and that she's " really looking forward to speaking with me." Three email replies later - crickets. I'm so tired of this shit...

Jamie Engelmann at VB&P is a repeat offender.

Gmails “nudge” feature does a real good job in reminding who’s ghosting me at the moment.

Nicole at AKQA NY. Beyond bad.

Had what had to be the best call with a recruiter I’ve ever had — she seemed so excited to pass my work to her teams, received the sweetest follow up email from her, but now it seems like she’s ghosting me. UGHHHHH. Any words of wisdom or advice? Feeling bummed because I was super excited about this opportunity.

We get it, ghosting happens. But has it ever happened to you repeatedly by the same person? Cashmere Agency in LA calls me relentlessly and then ghosts me just as relentlessly. Sales Force has done it two or three times as well. I can’t help but laugh and think about how it feels like getting a text from an ex—this didn’t work out before remember? It’s only been a month I’m still me.

Worked with recruiting agency for big pdx company. Recruiter calls on fri, says i’m a great fit. He wants to know my avail next week to set up interviews (cont’d)

Had interviews at three different places recently, all of which seemed to go well. Recruiters/HR people told me they’d be in touch with next steps end of last week or early this week. Haven’t heard from any of the three and none of them have responded to follow-up emails 🙃

Flew from London to the US for a two day interview marathon. Had one call with HR two weeks later where I was told they were gathering feedback and would get back to me asap. Never heard back. (contd)

Johannes Leonardo. Nancy was the queen of ghosting.

The recruiter for freelance at Havas is the worst. She’ll email and ask for my availability then ghost. Also brought me in for an interview & didn’t even tell them I freelanced there before.

Lucky Generals. I was ghosted after an in person coffee interview and promises of setting up a meeting with the other founders. Just found out another pal of mine had the same experience with them!

Code and Theory

Ghosting after on-site interviews is despicable. Recruiting has been a part of my job for years in addition to resourcing & project management, and I would always manage to reply emails.
