These interviews are just getting more and more..."creative?" Idek what the word is but I feel like companies are just making things up for product manager interviews nowadays to weed out candidates

I guess it’s different for everyone but when I have a job and I’m interviewing I have fun interviewing. And when I don’t have a job and I’m interviewing it’s not fun because I’m more anxious and stressed to find something.

Maybe it helps them figure out who is really a good fit, but it is really overwhelming when you're in the middle of the interview process & they're throwing all these strange new questions, tests, and games at you.

I agree. The hoops I had to jump through to land the job I'm in now were crazy. It definitely makes me want to stay put for awhile.

Hahaha. I can relate 💯. The thought of another round of interviews definitely makes me feel like staying put for now

What are questions y’all are seeing. My current company’s process felt pretty standard. Nothing unexpected.

I wonder how many candidates just walk away from these “creative” and long drawn out interview processes. I would think if enough people did it, companies might tone things down.

I recently accepted a position at the company and have been working as a temp for the past 3 months. I really enjoy the people I work with and the company seems to really support its employees, however it is in a field that doesnt exactly align with what I would like to be doing. And unfortunately the compensation package is also lacking.

Asking advice from a recruiter: I’ve been recently laid off :( This week I took some time to reflect, talk to friends and family. I want to be more thoughtful on my next move and although interviewing right away would be logical I feel I want to take a break and some time for myself. Take a month or two off working and use that time to plan thoughtfully on my next move. Would having that gap in my resume be an issue when I go back to the job market?

I found a company I was really excited about working at. I applied for the job and went through 5 rounds of interviews. At the end they said I was OVER qualified and they want me for a different position higher up in the company. I was super excited they then had me go through 5 more rounds, 3/5 people were the same. The interviews mostly went "didn't you get the job, I highly recommend you? I'll just put you down as a 10". After those were done they told me I was UNDER qualified. Can't win!

Hi Fishes, Have a query. My spouse is working in the electrical and electronics field for the last 15years, in various GCC countries.

What is your opinion if he takes a DevOps course and do a career change ? What will be the % of getting interviews ? Even if he gets selected, how much will he get?
Please reply.
