Well, someone asks a genuine question & people are sitting here to make nasty comments about the job & the role. Why can’t we just stick to the point and respond to what OP asked.

Exactly my thoughts, sometimes its not even worth writing a post when you receive these comments

They ask you to count to 36

Lol Scrum Master. Probably the only job Consultants are allowed to declare as more BS than their’s.

SC1: Project Manager is a little better but still is essentially someone who manages a plan. As a manager, I manage plan but also am directly involved and, crucially, accountable for the work of the people I manage.

KPMG1 correctly points out that it is the lack of accountability from Scrum Masters that annoys a lot of people. Then again, I’ve seen the same from Project Managers, but only the bad ones. They see themselves as leaders but are actually bureaucrats.

Is it client facing or interval IT? We do coach clients on agile. We also run our internal IT on scrum teams. Both roles gave different interview process. Your recruiter contact should tell you this early in the process, or ask them.

Thanks very much MCK1! it is an internal role. Good to know that they had different interviews. I have reached out to the recruiter. In the meantime wanted to know more from FB community!

I was grumpy. But that doesn’t excuse me being mean towards OP. I apologize OP. It’s just that I’ve been on an Agile transformation with scrum and scrum @ scale for nearly a year and I still think it’s mostly BS. I’m about to get the PSM1 cert and am being put in for a SAFE 5.0 certification AND a Scrum@Scale cert by my company.

All good 👍😊 Good luck with your certification process!

Scrum Master or Agile Coach?

Scrum Master

Mck hires Scrum Masters?

What a world we live in now.

It’s less of a scrum master and more of a scrum master coach. Rarely in a real staff aug situation, but it does happen.

Can Simeone answer his initial question?

Yes, the recruiter or hiring manager for the role. For internal roles, our interviews are more variable than is the process for consultants.

I received a verbal offer for a VP position at CCB line of business at JPMC in NYC two weeks ago. The recruiter asked for salary expectations but there was no number set. It’s been two weeks since and complete radio silence. I sent an email to a hiring manager a week ago but received no reply. It’s August so people could be on vacation but this is really strange.

Hi All!
This is my first post in Fishbowl, I'm looking for some genuine guidance on below query.

I have a total of 8.1 yrs of development experience in Java, Bigdata and Hadoop (new to it).
I got an offer from Capgemini for Manager/C2 designation with a CTC of 24 LPA. I just wanted to know the roles and responsibilities at this designation.
Will it be a profile shift from technical to managerial position or is just a designation (as per HR) the actual job would be to lead/guide any team?
Thanks
