What does it mean if the hiring manager says after an interview they will contact you but it might be for a different role within the same team for the job you applied for. Is that a ding?

No, it means there is another job that the company feels that you may be a better fit for (and that this current role is better for another person)

Not really. They see you as a good fit for a different role where you have a better potential to succeed.
Don’t overthink the exact role on an entry level job. It is very fluid.

Is this FAANG?

Right. It’s a new team within a company and they are recruiting for 20 roles. From the beginning he/she said something along the lines of I know you applied for this but right now it’s talent first then position after. At the end he said we might give you one of the other 19 and see if you are interested.

It’s fair. For any new team (company), you pick the best talent first rather than any specific fit

@Deloitte. No it’s market intelligence

Agree with McKinsey1

Hi Sharks, I had an interview with Tata Consultancy today and cleared the TAG round by answering all their questions. So here my query is, based on my performance will they offer me a hike of 100% or more from my CCTC, because this role is too relevant to my domain and technical knowledge so that I don't wanna miss out on this.

CCTC - 6LPA
YOE - 5

HELP my friends! I’ve been invited to a recruiter screen for the initial interview with HR for Global Safety Associate. This job mainly deals with Adverse event/high prescribing meds product complaints. In my current role I deal with on boarding pt & getting patients work done from A-Z till they get on their meds. The only part which is similar is that I’m the main point of contacts for pt so I can report their complaint to Health Canada. How can I convince them I can handle this new job
