I have interview scheduled and completed from Commonwealth Bank Bangalore location. All technical rounds cleared.
When I called HR i got a surprise answer..
They mentioned the position which I have intervied is different than the salary rem ranges. And my current salary is higher than position what they have got and asked for approval for rem ranges changes..
Is any one faced this? Ideally HR should know expectation and allocation before scheduling intervjew..
I am bit confused with commonwealt

McKinsey & Company Any advice to help prepare for data science analyst role at top consulting firms (McKinsey & Company EY Boston Consulting Group etc)? Any materials, open source platform recommended to take on freelance data science project? When should I start actively looking and applying? I am a new grad who is working in tech as a marketing analyst I’m looking to pivot to marketing& sales data science consulting next year. Would like someone with similar backgrounds offer some practical tips.

If they’re good at their job, they’re good at their job. Those who’d care despite that assumption are driven by ego.
"Work under and take orders from" sounds like a juvenile interpretation of a manager + direct report relationship. Perhaps you should unpack that.
Seriously. I don't have much issue with someone *younger* than me, but I'd probably take umbrage with someone with far less experience
Age isn’t relevant. It’s the person that counts. My old boss used to say a person can have 10 years experience or 10 x 1year experience.
Ooh I like this
They’re ALL younger than me.

Me three.

Absolutely. I really don’t care how old they are, I just care how good they are.
This. Plus, acting like your age means you’re owed... good way to get on the next layoff list honestly.
If you double my pay and can help grow my career you could be half my age for all I care.
My boss is younger by about five years and she’s one of the most thoughtful and brilliant humans I’ve ever met. She deserves every bit to be the boss. She’s a badass.
How can you throw yourself on the ground like this?
Yes I have and would again for the right person. There are so many other factors to consider in this scenario as well. We all have our own path, I’m not about competing to be somewhere at a certain age because I made decisions along the way that impacted my trajectory. Like having a kid and slowing my roll. To each their own.
Following. I’ve usually in this position but in reverse. I’ve had a few people report to me that were several years older or the same age. I really do think the reaction depends on their personality. Because it’s been an issue with some but not with others. It’s also hard to pin point if it’s just age because the people where it’s been an issue with have also been men in my experience.

Depends how much younger. I’m in my early 30s and feel like working under a CD significantly younger than me would feel strange.
My boss is 5 years younger than me. But he has so much knowledge to share. I have zero issue being under him because the potential to learn is better than most positions I’ve ever had.

I've had direct reports who were a decade older than me, and I currently work for someone 2 years younger. As I get older I assume the likelihood of working for people younger than me will increase. As long as everyone's good at their job who cares?
I'm in my 40s. I work under a Director who is about a decade younger than me. It doesn't bother me in the slightest. Granted, I started my career in my mid 30s so I knew what I was getting into. But honestly, I don't give two shits about things like age gaps. If I did, I wouldn't be where I am today, having gone back to college at 29 and in the midst of a mildly successful media career.
Depends on the people and the relationship. I’ve managed people older than me and reported to people younger than me. If you can focus on the work and you are learning, and feel positive in the relationship, the age thing is irrelevant. But if you feel awkward because of lack of maturity or managerial skills on a part of a younger boss, it can be a deal breaker.
I do now. Why not?
So I’m the boss and everyone on my team is older than me (2-11 years older). My team has told me that they actually appreciate that I’m younger because I’m less jaded than our previous boss (I was promoted into the role) and therefore fight for them more earnestly. Mind you, I’m not advertising young either (34 when promoted and now 39)...but it hasn’t affected our dynamics. I also am honest enough that I recognize there are things I know more than them and things they know better than me and I respect them enough to listen. I don’t think that’s an age thing it’s just teamwork. 🤷🏻♀️
What kind of place do you work where you are “following orders?”
I have no idea how old most of the people I work with are. 20s-30s maybe early 40s. We all just do our job and it works. I’ve had people much older than me (I think) absolutely fail in leadership roles and people who are around my age do really well. All depends on the person.
That being said, if you feel you are not where you want to be, title or whatever, then you need to look at that rather than another persons age. Either they are sleeping on you and it is time to move on or you need to check yourself and focus the work.
How much younger? People *much* younger than me (say, 10 years) don’t have enough experience to lead entire teams so I’d assume I’m in a role way too junior for my own experience or they obtained their role via privilege.
People a few years off, sure absolutely.
In my future - definitely yes. As I age I expect there to be leaders younger than I am in managerial positions that I’d love to work for.
I once managed someone 20 years older than me and it was not easy, FYI. I didn’t have enough management experience to take it on.
Jesus my boss is 20 years older than me and I feel like I have to manage him. So I think at same point, age does not matter.
I am in that position where I am managing people older than I, but I also started designing, interning, and working a lot earlier than most. It’s all about the individual.

If they’re smart and mature, sure. If they act like they’re younger than me, probably not.
