Sometimes I question how my boss got into their position. We were hired at the same time and I have more experience in the relevant subject. However, that individual has more total overall experience.

Its in the back of my mind, but my boss used to work with our director and I just have a feeling that played a part in their hiring. if I interviewed my boss I wouldn’t of hired that individual.

it’s annoying me. Anybody else in a similar situation.

Happens all the time. It's not what you know but who you know. Someday you too will get pulled along for a great role at a new gig by a favorite director.
Focus on networking more and showcasing your skill set.

Thanks. I like the person- it’s just annoying. I’m teaching them how to do stuff. 

How does that make you feel

Honestly... at the end of the year I’m gonna go to my director and ask them to make us the same level or I’m leaving.

I turned down a couple job opportunities to come here. 

For most bloated bureaucracies like the B4, connections and total YOE matter far more than competence

"wouldn't have*" - may be thats why?

You figured it out! Congrats.

I saw someone else do this, so imma give it a shot. Lately, I’ve been applying to iOS developer roles and I’m getting TONs of calls and callbacks from HR and recruiting managers, but then when my resume gets pushed to hiring managers they seem to often get peeved at how little years of experience I have with the title “iOS developer”…
which is fair, and to show my credibility I published my first app last week, but I’m still getting similar messages from recruiters this week. Idk what to do??

I applied at Workday on 15th May and went through 7 technical rounds of interview and received a verbal offer letter of 21LPA (hybrid)
Now apparently their technical panel "forgot" about the interview and wants to have a discussion again as 8th technical interview. HR says their joining date will be 19th September.

Should i join KPMG?
