Went through a series of interviews for IBM and on the final interview, I was told by the manager that he was moving me forward.. only to get rejected. Should I consider myself lucky?

You should choose to feel whatever helps you get over rejection . It’s only one job at one company . You and IBM will both be fine

I would say so. GBS is trying to find itself and it’s not a fun place to be for people below band 9.

I’m in my 4th year at a small plaintiffs’ firm. Past two years I’ve received meager raises (5k) and terrible bonuses (3k).

As I’ve applied for other firms, I’ve been denied interviews based on how my boss is perceived in the community. I’ve gathered professional references from opposing attorneys and other attorneys we work with but still can’t land. Help

How do you all deal with the guilt of leaving a comany/ team? I have been working at Microsoft for 1 year now, and seriously considering moving. I find the code base to be very legacy and I mostly work on obscure bugs that I spend so much time on, mostly due to navigating this large code base and not having much docs to refer to. Hence I find the job slightly unsatisfying, and that I could learn more elsewhere. However, I love the wlb, the team and company culture. The guilt stops my applying.

I recently had an interview with a very promising pre-IPO company in the AI/ML space for a SE leadership position. The interview feedback was better than I expected, but with a twist.

I am in the process of gathering more info, but it is tempting to ask about pivoting into product management. What would you do in this situation?
