Sr. Consultant at BAH- I have +10 years experience (gap in employment to raise some kids). I have been back at work for 3 years now. I have been applying everywhere with absolutely no luck getting anyone to even schedule an interview. Should I hang up the search? Been applying since September. Any tips!?

Can anyone suggest what's the interview process for Amazon in Tamil Nadu, Karnataka or Andhra Pradesh for a Data Engineer role.

What technologies should I be familiar with in order to crack the interview. Is data structures and algorithms a must learn to crack a data engineer role?

I want to prepare for data engineer interviews, I'm currently well experienced in Python, SQL, Informatica and familiar with ADF and I have 1+ years of experience in the same role.

How do you evaluate the financial health/viability of a startup you’re interviewing with? Are there specific questions you ask and/or external research you do? A company I’m interviewing with offers equity, and they say they anticipate going IPO or being bought out by a larger company in the industry. I know any company will put its best foot forward during interviews, so I’m trying to figure out to accurately evaluate those statements.

Curious to know how effective referrals at PwC are and how exactly they work

Hi guys,

I switched 20 days back to Optum. I have 7 years of experience working as a full stack Engineer, who is passionate working on both front end and back end on latest technologies. But my project is working only on back end with 10 years old tech stack. There is no front end work at all. What should I do?
I don't like working here at all, but I am not sure whether moving out again in a month will give bad Impression on my resume. Hence please give me advice on this situation

Before that I spent money on getting a professional resume from Monster. Highly recommended. Good luck all.

Is there irony in the fact that HR and leadership of sales organizations ghost candidates? The very people that stress over prospects disappearing turn around and do the same thing to people they've interviewed 2, 3, or more times.

I'm 4 for 4 this month being ghosted for roles that I'm well qualified for and either advanced in the process or told I would be.

This is brutal.
