The recruiter said wow, the team LOVES my book and wants to talk to me ASAP. I'm scheduled to interview with somebody a week later. I get to the interview and this person has no clue who I am and is just looking through my book for the first time. We have a very awkward interview and then the next day I get a "we're moving forward with other candidates" email. What the hell? What a ****show

You learned a sad but necessary lesson: recruiters are full of shit.

When a recruiter reaches out to me I take that as an indication there's a job opportunity and if it's one I want I go over their head to hit up the creatives at that place.

Hello friends,
I wanted to share that I am in my first job as ui/ux expert and I am the only ux/ui person in the team. I am expected to take care of entire research and design of the product. It becomes very overwhelming as the product that I am working on is in a early phase and I am expected to think about ui as well as ux and also design entire app on my own.There is no user interview or user testing happening as my project manager thinks it can be done after product is launched. Please help!

Hi there -
I applied to an experienced consultant position at Bain and just heard back. Yesterday, I received an invite to a HireVue one-way interview to complete. Today, I received an invite for a coffee chat with a consultant. I’m of course going to do both, but the emails make it seem like they are almost two separate paths/disconnected processes. Can anybody offer some insight into each of these/the process?

I received an offer from IBM Bangalore. However I saw openings at my preferred location Kochi only after the interviews.

Anyone knows the chances of location being changed after receiving the offer and getting tagged to a project?

I have not yet accepted the offer.
