Would you approach your current client on an opening you are interested? If so how do you reach out and what are some best practices to avoid burning bridges on both ends

Don’t approach the client. Read over your agreement and if you see no conflicts, apply. I did that and because my app had the right elements, HR escalated it to my client and then he came to me to discuss. Much better than you approaching the client for a referral.

Hm, I’d be much more concerned that in your approach the client, were he not interested in employing you, would have to go to your leadership and tell them. As in they now have an “official” trail to follow with the app, their HR, and any contract stuff that may be involved.

Just talking to them you could both be much more circumspect/use more discretion. Ya know?

I'm having the last loop interviews with Amazon for an analyst position, but I'm realizing that it might not be the right place for me, I'm currently working at hpe and have a good balance, 11+ YOE, I'm not sure if it's really worth the effort. Can someone tell me about what level sales ops analyst job might be? I looked for range salaries and it looks like it is 55k for Germany, so not really much of what I'm earning now.

I read bad comments about the culture and the workload balance.

I have been approached by 3 separate HR people at a startup company to interview for a position. I already have a fulltime job that pays well and I only started 6 months ago too. Anyways, the pay was intriguing and the job was a high level scientific advisor so I did interviews. At the last interview, at the end I was told the job was for management but I prepared for a different kind of interview. I am waiting for an offer or rejection letter. I feel peeved that they wasted my time. Red flags?

Hi All,

Kindly help me in resolving the dilemma

MBA with Total YOE - 7+, relevant YOE- 5.3 , Skills - CYBERSECURITY,GRC, Audit.

I have got two offers
1. Genpact - 27 CTC (24 fixed + 10% variable plus gratuity) Manager level
2. Airbus - 23 CTC + 5 L JB
I really wanted to work with Airbus but they are not budging from the offer of 23 even after I told them I have a better offer from Genpact with better position. HR said they will come back..

You think Airbus will come back with better offer?
