When a recruiter reaches out to you for a position you know you’re not qualified for, do you roll with it, or tell them honestly you’re the level below?

I wouldn’t recommend lying about your qualifications but there’s a reason they reached out to you, right? If you’re interested, id talk to them on the phone first and get a feel for the job. It’s good to stretch and challenge yourself but consider if you’ll be in over your head

Be honest. Tell them what you are great at. Understand what they are looking for. Then decide. I’ve met people who undersell their abilities all the time.

You can handle! Go for it!

Some of the most successful industry people I have ever met got there by taking those chances and making the most of it. Roll with it!! 🎲🎲

As long as you didn’t lie about your experience, you’re underestimating yourself

Hey guys, I have the first short 15-minutes call with a product guy from Hugging Face today wherein he is likely going to take a guess at what roles I could be suitable for. I had applied for Post-Sale Machine Learning solutions Engineer. Is there anyone who’s gone through the process for a similar role at similar organisations or best case scenario would be if anyone has gone through the process with HF.
I have been working for a year and am doubtful if I’m mature enough for the role. Help lol

My husband just received a job offer on an opportunity he is really excited about. It would be great for his career and they are giving the 15% jump in base he asked for, however they won’t share what the target bonus amount would be. It’s an executive director position, so I would assume it’s a decent target bonus, but without that in writing it could honestly be a gift basket at the end of the year. Is it a red flag for them to not share this? His total comp could be less at this new job…
