Undergrad at a non target. MS at a top 10 but still viewed as a non target candidate. Networking and hard work hasn’t done the trick. How can I fix this? Looking for advice.

Target “schools” is a misnomer. It ought to be target “programs.” That said, what’s your MS in?

Thoughts on “special” salary grades. I just found out the VP I was offered is not a grade 12 like most comparable roles (verified). Also not an 11, but an 11A. Slightly higher than an 11, a good bit lower than a 12. All due to the fact that it’s a leap from my current position. Why should that matter…..shouldn’t it pay what it should pay if I am selected, rather that curving down towards my current rate?

Hi Sharks, I had an interview with Tata Consultancy today and cleared the TAG round by answering all their questions.

CCTC - 6LPA
YOE - 5
