What kind of references do you give when you’re interviewing? Do you just ask your manager but then they know you’re leaving?

That’s a great question. Also is it ok to not click on “May we contact this employer” when filling out the application to your current employer? I don’t really want them to contact the company I currently work at since I don’t want them to know I’m thinking of leaving, but at the same time a recruiter might think that I’m doing a horrible job that I don’t want them to call my current employer.

Hi guys, is it really hard to get a foreign job? I have just started applying for some positions through linkedin jobs. Are there better ways than linkedin? Also my experience is relatively less.

Hello Fishes,

So far I received offers from PwC India, Capgemini and Lexmark for Data Engineering.

More are in pipeline from KPMG GS, TechM, Accenture.

But one peculiar thing is happening. I have appeared for 4 Cognizant interviews but in all I have been rejected. Whereas most of my friends had easily cleared Cognizant. I am switching tech, so I am a bit concerned like whether my knowledge is too shallow😐

Is it sign of an Imposter Syndrome 🥺
