It was a few years ago but after interviewing I got “the position went in a different direction."

I honestly think a lot of agencies recruit constantly for no (real) reason.

Maybe it helps them look viral. Maybe it’s just (misplaced) optimism so they’ll be ready when they win a pitch. Maybe it’s just so the recruiters can justify their jobs.

With Ogilvy, I bet it’s the second.

smart

It’s bc they won Walgreens and are staffing up. so. you’re kinda right. 😂

Hello fishes,

I have 6 and half YOE in front end development. (angular and hybrid applications). I joined my current organization ( product based) in Feb for 24LPA. The work here is too stressful and there is absolutely zero WLB. So I decided to start looking out again. However I am not getting good interview calls. Are most companies not hiring now ? Or could it because my CTC is too high ?

Hi All,

I am a full stack developer with 4+ years of experience. My tech stack is node, react, AWS. I am looking for a job change. So I am giving interviews for both frontend and backend. But whenever I am facing interviews, i am getting to know about a lot of new things which I was not aware of which is making me feel depressed ? Because I have knowledge of a lot of stacks but don't have knowledge of anyone in depth making me feel insecure now.

Will request you guys for your feedback.

Thanks in advance

What can you do if you’re getting interviewed by the same person who didn’t choose you in the first place?
Context: I applied for a position a while back and got interviewed, but didn’t go to the next round. I found the same position open again a month later at a different location and applied. Almost immediately, I was called for an interview, but with the same interviewer. What does this mean? Is this going to get awkward?
