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
Hi, I finished my L3 interview loop last month, and got my feedback. The recruiter told me that the feedback is borderline positive. But she is still pushing it to the HM stage. She said if any hiring manager picks it up, and wants to hire you, she will let me know. She also said that my profile wil...Read more
..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?

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

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 was laid-off from Snap in February. I am not sure how to answer to recruiters when they ask if you are currently working ? I generally just say yes and what I have been working on? Since no one directly asked if I was laid off, I have not offered this info. Is it wise to tell that I am not working...Read more

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
I recently had my first interview with Microsoft for a "remote" role, and unfortunately, it was an extremely disappointing experience. While Apple is often criticized for its interview process, I found Microsoft to be even worse. The recruiters and hiring managers I encountered seemed pathetically i...Read more
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
I keep seeing Linkedin and recruiter-influencers promoting the idea that we should be messaging hiring managers if they're offering a position we're interested in. Have you had experience with this working? Have you been the target of it? How did you feel about it?
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
