Have got an interview scheduled for an internal role at Cisco India. Just wanted to know how's the interview process and difficulty usually ?? Same as it would be for an external candidate? Also what would a good hike % to expect during an internal switch... My current Grade is 006 and been here since 2 years and the new opening is for 008. ( Both roles in Cisco Bangalore ) Or would it be better to just continue here for a few more months until the job market is in good shape and move outside of Cisco? TC : 2000000 INR Exp : 6 years almost Any pointers would be really helpful #Cisco #InternalSwitch
What's your reasoning for the switch? If you are looking to move back, internal transfer is the easiest in the current market situation
Current org had a few LR's recently and the roadmap isn't that great. Also got hints from manager that we might not have much budget this time around for hikes , so I doubt if I will get a good hike and a promotion which I am due from a year... So yeah keeping all of this in mind looking for an internal switch which is anyway a higher grade
Technical rounds will be same as for an external candidate. Hike percentage will depend on your current salary. If you do get through you'll be offered the least possible offer to be given at that grade. I think the policy is 90% of MRR zone 2, I am not sure though
sometimes you will get a good hike in the internal switch as well, one of my friends got 25+% hike in internal switch. but it depends upon the BU. what is your current BU and the BU where you are looking for an internal switch.
Internal interview difficulty will be same as for an external candidate. The advantage they have with internal interview is they get candidates for cheap
Difficulty would be same. For me it was 3 rounds
If your looking for salary then you may not get much Hike,I recently changed got 6 %hike
And interviews will be pretty similar like outside..due to current market uncertainty better is internal switch..
Leave Cisco you will be happy
Switch outside , internal won’t give you money
Thank you 👍
