What are some pros would you consider taking a job where you read employee reviews, and they weren’t good. Would you pass up the opportunity before giving it a chance since it’s the only company that’s made you an offer since you started interviewing. Or would you give it a try gain the experience and make some money, while you want on a better opportunity. If anyone could give me some real advice I’d appreciate it

You also have to serve you — companies will always make sure they get what they desire. After being on the job, if something better comes along within 1 month or however many months, do not feel obligated by any means to turn it down or to not pursue because of fear for “how it may look.”

Thank you I won’t hesitate.

I am never a fan of taking a job with red flags, but all would depend on if you are currently working or not. If the offer is sound, and you need a job, get what you can while you can and keep yourself open to other opportunities

Thank you for the advice I will.

What are the some of the employees complaints? If it’s something that seems personal then maybe it was just personal experience. But if it’s something that’s common among the reviews then it’s something that systemic within the company. Now you have to ask yourself, “do I want to be in an environment like that?”. Trust your gut in these scenarios. For me I wouldn’t do it, employee reviews whether good or bad are to warn or encourage people to work for a company.

Take it from my personal experience. Every shitty job I’ve had came from desperation when I just wanted to get out of an already bad job. I was desperate so I took anything, ignoring all red flags. It always blew up in my face because I’d hate the new job after all was said and done. I’ve never regretted a job decision where I took my time and didn’t rush myself.

Hi all, I’m in need of some career advice. Not sure where to direct my attention. I know that I don’t enjoy consulting, but I’m also fairly confident that I don’t like strategy. The things I enjoyed the most was getting into the customer’s head and figuring out what they value, which I think I’m pretty good at. I also enjoy working with others frequently and finding a solution together, instead of having individual workstreams. I can hold my own in front of a crowd as long as I’m confident in...

Hello Fishs,

I have given 3 rounds of interview for the position of SE- B8 , i.e. Lead SE. Now in salary discussion round i asked HR for a CTC between a range of 31-34L. But they told me max they can give is 29.5L. I still did not accepted the initial offer from HR, it is going again one more round for salary negotiation after HR confirms the bracket from Business. I know Natwest dont negotiate once you accepted the offer. What CTC can i expect from Natwest for Lead SE.

I’m aware there are personal aspects I need to work on like my mindset, patience etc etc, but I just get so frustrated with blatant stupidity.
