Need to go through some interviews for practice but worried about possible negative consequences.

I can't switch job right now because I'm waiting for GC. Hopefully in a year or so I'll be able to get GC and then move on.

But I feel like I really need to go through some interviews to assess my actually skill level and identify gaps. But always worried about doing that thinking doing this I may lose future opportunities. Because If I do well and then don't join they may just ignore my application in the future/black list or something. Are these any real concerns? Any tips on what to keep in mind while going through interviews just for practice purposes?

  • Lol. Okay to answer your question first.

    Interview with good companies which you real don't care about joining. If FAANG is A-Listers. Interview with the B-Listers. This gives you a fair bit of idea on where you stand.

    A lot of the times, this gives you a fair bit of idea on ur knowledge level. If you are confident enough, give interviews every alternate month. So that's 6 companies over a year's time. It's not that hard to get 6 B-List companies.

    Start with the A-Listers when your very close to getting your GC. This will allow an easy transition and they might wait if your a good candidate. I've seen companies wait 1-2 months sometimes.

    Okay now which country are u from that you got ur GC with 3yrs work ex?πŸ˜‚
