Hello Guys,
I joined Cognizant recently, the project interview calls which I am getting is not from my base location.
I have the location constraint, should I wait for the right opportunity or raise this concern to ADP team so they can look in to it?
As per ADP policy, one should not have any constraints and take the project as FCFS basis.

I applied to a job opening on Accenture site on Nov. 16. Around Dec 16, my profile got rejected, without any calls or emails. I was told that I could apply only after 6 months. So, I replied on May 20th (6 months from Nov. 16). I got a message saying that the profile already exists. So, I waited for some more time and applied on June 18tg. This is the message I got [We already have this resume in our database which we received from you or some other sources] How long do I still need to wait?

Job-Hunting reach-out to VC from previous fundraising effort for own startup
I have e-mail archive from 1y ago of my reach-out to 65 VCs in London: we had video calls, they might remember me still, who knows.
I want to send a reply/forward message to the same e-mail thread from abc@gmail.com, saying that I am looking for roles within their VC firm. Is that a good idea?
Or shall I just start new email thread and mention how I know them?

Never. It’s only hurts your leverage. You can say that you don’t feel comfortable disclosing your current rate. Negotiations should revolve around the role and your experience only. I would also say it’s a huge red flag if a company pressures you to disclose your current rate and provide evidence.
Hi,
Never ever.
When I face that kind of recruiters, I answer with the same answer given by PM1.
If it’s not sufficient and they keep asking, I give them either an educated answer by asking for their salary grid to be able to answer, or a maximum number to bargain with and from, or I mention that they came to me and that a proposal they should make by themselves if willing to disclose it and not a question they should ask in case of a direct approach.
To me, it’s as much funny as a recruiter who calls you (direct approach) and the next guy that asks you “why did you apply to our firm”, my answer in such case was very funny one time : “well, don’t you know that’s your CEO that called me?” Or “Well, I never applied” and it was legit in both cases 😂
I let you imagine the face of the recruiter facing that answer.
Me thinking : internal communications seems to heavily suck there, let’s write it and write minus minus signs.
They never hired me.
And I would have not accepted such red flags.
PM1 is right, flee that kind of recruiters.
They are only harming the profession and your career.
To share another anecdote:
Head hunter calls me.
They say we hunt for a firm in tech consulting.
I answer I consider strategy and management only.
The calls ends.
They email me a GDPR file with ref request.
I fill it plus I add a clause to give them the grant to send my resume only to the discussed firm.
These morons sent it to another firm.
Unfortunately for them I interviewed with that firm last year.
I just blacklisted the headhunter and headhunting firm. And I also sent and email to the firm in question which I interviewed with last year to let them know and an inmail to and ex-colleague working at the discussed firm.
That’s an appropriate approach for recruiters lacking professional ethics that all applicants should follow.
And I find it to be quite fair.

NEVER disclose your current compensation. Pivot and if cornered say “My current competition should not affect my ability to perform this role at a high level. For my next role, I’d be looking for a range of $x-$y”
