Starting a new job in a few weeks. I have a downtime in between and have started growing a beard. I interviewed without one, would it be weird to go in day 1 with a beard? It’s going to be short and tidy and right before Movember if that helps the case.

I don't see anything wrong with that, but it must appear "well groomed" (beard oil, comb, trimmer etc) and not like you woke up from a coma - clean neck lines, no frizzy hairs, etc. Beards have been trendy for a few years now and I have seen a lot of people keep one. So if it looks good on you, why not.

I don't know where you are based, but beards are acceptable nearly everywhere now.

Hi fishes! Nagarro declined the counter offer letter ₹33,00,000 + shares worth 4.5LPA

Nagarro offered 18LPA. Initially I told HR for 22 but he mentioned 18 into their internal portal to their senior so after clearing all interview rounds I got 18.

When I asked the HR, he told me to accept it for now and bring the counter offer letter so they can revise offer letter.

But now they declined. Weird.

Hey everyone, What would you say is the difference between an account director and a senior account manager.

My last interview feedback was that they really liked me but felt like I was lacking new bizz skills and that the organic business growth opportunities I found and jumped on were “luck aka right place at the right” moment kinda thing?
