Went through an interview process with a smaller product company for a Sr position requiring 5 years of experience. Aced it. Made it to the final round and was asked my graduation date... (cont.)

I have 2 (no longer an analyst) and graduated a couple years back. I can justify the work experience, because the Sr position is a match for me, but I can’t justify the optics. What would you do?

They offered me a position without the Sr title after going through the full Sr interviews

How badly do you want the job? If they’re a smaller company, may be more wiggle room for you to play hardball. Better perform, though.

I’d say it’s worth it to have the conversation with them.

Anyone has idea about KM 4-6 years role in Capgemini?

Hey everyone, looking for some advice. I’ve been working as a RC for a tech company for 15 months making 45k (I know I’m underpaid) and I’m looking to pivot. I feel really burnt out in this role and would love to transition to something else, perhaps another department. I don’t really want to be in an entry level role again, so what kinds of jobs should I be looking at where I can transfer over my skills easily? I also have customer service experience but would love to stay away from that. TIA!
