Worst interview stories? Had one so appalling today that I can only laugh. The vibe died the moment we locked eyes. Relief is knowing that we never have to see each other again on this sweet earth.

Is there anyone who works currently or has worked for Travelers Insurance in Hartford CT? Looking for an idea on compensation, benefits and your opinion on the company. I’m interviewing for the Operations Manager role

Hi All,

I recently interviewed for Amazon's Analytics Manager Role - L6 and have 10.5 years experience. What is the fixed and CTC that I can expect for this role?

I’ve worked at the same well known tech company since I graduated school 8 years ago. I’ve been promoted 3 times so I’ve held a few different jobs within my org.

BUT .. I’ve applied to a few companies and getting no responses. Is it a deterrent for hiring managers/recruiters that my experience is based primarily at one company?

So I'm in a weird space at the moment. I've been interviewing with a lot of agencies in the past couple of months, and I keep getting the same response of "I need more agency experience." How am I supposed to get that experience if one of the things holding me back is not having enough agency experience?

Doing 2nd of 3 interviews on Tuesday and looking for interview tips. I learned very quickly that I don't understand how the levels and total comp packages work. I'm interviewing for a Business Operations Specialist and when looking at salary ranges they are all over the place. Add in the changes a few months back and I now have NO idea where I should fall.
I have 10 YOE and I am in Seattle..
Anybody have an idea of what level this role may fall into and what sort of BP and TC to consider?

Hey guys,

I really need your help.

I recently got a good opportunity in one of the Mncs to work but i was worried as i had absconded from one of the companies just after 2 months of working there due to mental torture.

I have a shown the same as gap for personal reasons in my resume.

Will i have any problem after joining this new MNC during background verification as per the standards?..

Really need your help if anyone has faced this situation or know anything on the same.

Thank you

I was in a meeting, and there was a new attendee, a fellow Asian guy.

Senior member: “Hi [new attendee’s name], where are you from?”

New attendee: “from [city and state]”

Senior member: “No, where are you reeeeaaaallllyyy from?”

**awkward silence**

New attendee: “from God”
