Found out the only reason I was no longer considered for a job (promotion, higher pay/benefits, greater responsibility/visibility, etc.) was because my Skip gave a poor review to the hiring manager (as told to me by the hiring manager). Complaints raised by my Skip had never been shared with me pre...Read more
In an interview, hiring manager asked if I use blind then joked that I should log in and show him my posts. After he laughed he waited for my answer. I told him my posts are boring (they are not). Then he said just kidding. Anyone else experienced this?
I’ve read a lot of posts recently about confounding or failed interviews at top tech firms. As someone who regularly serves as an HM (direct and indirect) at one of the most selective, I’ve also been bogged down by a flood of them in the past 2 Qs. I want to shed some light from the other side. Fir...Read more
He was promoted to manager one year ago, and he has recently hired three people, all of whom are Indian. If I complain to HR department, what is going to happen?
..so they could save their current employees that they liked since there was a mandated “cut 10% every year” rule? So managers went and found sacrificial lambs externally? Lol do you think the same thing is going to happen at tik tok? https://www.inc.com/jason-aten/amazons-controversial-hire-to-fir...Read more
In an interview, the HM called me a job hopper and asked me to explain why I changed each job. FYI my avg tenure is 2.5 yrs. Do people still care about this this day and age? Obviously if I had 10 jobs the last 10 years, it could be strange but I’ve had 4. #tech #interview
Do you like to see metrics in candidate resumes? I have seen quite few resumes and it mostly just sounds like a bloat. I am looking to switch now so considering this. I am leaning towards not cooking up some metrics unless its clear and important like ‘scaled the app to handle 10x users’ etc. Bu...Read more

Hey guys, just curious if you’ve had similar experiences as well. Recently interviewed for a semiconductor company based out of California. The hiring manager was more keen on what I had done at tesla rather than judge me as a candidate holistically. Curious if anyone else has hand any other simi...Read more

I am an IC and I want to move to a manager role. One of the top questions I am getting in my interviews is how will you hire your team?

Hello Blinders, I just finished my interview for a sales role at Intel, the hiring Manger said he will get back to me the following week.

I recently completed an onsite at Netflix. The recruiter scheduled a debrief with the hiring manager and me next week to discuss “the feedback and my interest in the role”. Is this a common practice at Netflix? Is there a good chance i might have an offer? It sounds like a fairly positive response t...Read more
If you’re an Atlassian Hiring Manager, I would love to DM you to get a better sense of how life within Atlassian is!
I feel like seeing those drops credibility on someones resume really quick, but a lot of people put them on. They’re self paced learning material with no real grades/rigor/proof that you understand the material. Feels to me like if you had space on your resume left for them, then you don’t have enou...Read more
If you’re a hiring manager, do you think it’s annoying when people reach out to you about jobs? Seems like the norm, but I can see it getting annoying and sounds like someone begging to you.
Has anyone interviewed with TikTok recently? Do hiring managers typically give hints on next steps or no next steps during the call? Would love some insights! #tiktok
