Senior Software Engineer

I have been offered a full time software Engineer role at x company verbally now the recruiter is asking me to give the contact point of my colleagues and manager so that they can have a feedback on me. 

What should I do ? Is it normal when you are making switch as an experienced candidate?

Is it normal to ask for reference before offer letter?

Recruiters and hiring managers - Do you really care how a resume is named? 
Does Firstname.pdf vs FirstNameLastName.pdf change your short listing decision?
Saw a reel on Instagram which is promoting people to name their resume FirstName_LastName_CV.pdf or get rejected. I feel it’s just BS to get engagement

What can be the consequences of showing Forged offer letter. Like I have got offer 0f 24LPA from Company A. Now company B offers me same I want to join B, whatif I edit 24 of A to 28 LPA, show that to B and ask them match it. I don't think B will contact A to confirm it, BgV also concerns previous employers.. So is there any risk???

last 4 years i’ve been freelancing and i’m currently looking for new opportunities. how should i put freelancing on my resume?

freelancing on resume

Hello Grapeviners.

So I was put into Focus (coaching plan, pre-PIP) at Amazon. After the focus period ended I was given two options
Leave with severance
Go into PIP 

I chose to leave. So I am currently serving notice period. My manager is trying to get some unfinished work done from me. I don't want to finish it. There are multiple reasons for it. Finishing this task will benefit him more than me.I am already stressed about looking for my next job

Here's the question:
My manager says that I can provide his reference to my next recruiter/hiring manager and he will provide good feedback about me. (He said this so that I feel indebted to him and finish whatever task that he assigns me)

Do hiring managers/recruiters reach out to your previous manager? Can they reach out to your previous team members instead?

 My teammates have seen me working on the frontlines and know everything about me from my work ethic to my abilities. They can vouch for me way better than my manaher ever could. My manager always underestimated me severely. He put me into focus all because of his blindedness (this came from my teammate not me)

I dont care about burning bridges with my manager because he was toxic af. Just wanted to know if recruiters will reach out to him or not? And can I instead provide a reference to my teammates

Resume tips

Hey guys, my first post on here.

I have been unemployed since a year due to some personal problems, but right now interviewing. On my resume is it advisable to add my freelance work which I’ve done in the past year instead of the gap ? It was on and off freelancing for a friends company.

I wanted inputs on, if this is okay and also, how would a background check be done regarding this? Is contact with the client good enough for background verification.

Thank you

Resume advice

I am a '21 graduate from a Tier 1 college (old IIT) and have had short stints as product manager at a couple of startups. About a year back, I decided to startup but after a few months, realized that startup idea wasn't worth pursuing. 

Researched around a few startup ideas and finally landed upon a good one in D2C space. But the problem is financing. I don't have much saving and friends / family network wouldn't be able to finance this. I really want to pursue this idea but finance is becoming a hindrance. 

So started looking for job opportunities about 3 months back. I have been exploring work opportunities in product / founder office / EIR roles or other generalist role. 

Job hunt process has been frustrating to say the least. Getting very few calls. In most cases, people are ghosting after couple of rounds of interview or assignment. In some cases, after getting through 2-3 rounds, I got to know that opening has been closed temporarily. Most HRs don't even have the decency to give feedback. 

I don't intend to work in job for long anyway. As soon as I have the job, I plan to start working on my business idea and quit as soon as I have enough financial leeway. 

How should I go about job hunt process? I have been trying to connect with folks on LinkedIn in whose company job openings are there. Apart from this, I have been connecting with founders from recently funded startups. Naukri / Instahyre and IIM Jobs are other portals I have been looking on. Anything I should do differently here? 

Looking forward to hearing your suggestions / experience.

How bad is the job market?

Just a advice: 
  
 Never do the assignment for any company.This company will ghost you every time after the assignment or will offer lower pay / lower position. 
  
 Companies just try to get ideas via the assignment

I wish to know the pros/cons of frequently switching jobs. 
I am in a dilemma, there are posts here and there that say don't switch frequently and then there are posts that nobody cares about frequent job switches, as you are a dev.

Let's discuss ladies & gents✍️

Pros/Cons of Frequent Job Switching

Imagine you are the Hiring manager looking for a Tech Lead who is having 8-10 years of experience. 
  
 He/She has already switched 6-7 companies in the period of 9 years. Will you consider that person working for you? 
  
 I personally won’t.

Can someone please help me understand if it is legally okay to join a competitor company in the same client project where I'm currently staffed? I'm currently part of a startup and the competitor is a big 4.

Joining a competitor in the same client project

Please bear with me as I'm going through all this for the first time.

I resigned, and I'd have to have a discussion with my manager where she might ask me who my new employer is.
I'm trying to negotiate my notice period to a lesser number of days as my joining date is earlier and there's no scope for changing that. The new company is ready for a NP buyout too.

Would I need to tell her the new company I'm joining or would saying "I'm taking a break and travelling" work too

? I want to leave my current company in good terms and ofc don't want to have problems with experience letter.

Should my old employer know the name of my new one?

Account Manager

Hi Guys,

I am currently working at a startup and was previously working at an IT MNC for 3 months. I was put on the bench and laptops/assets were not even delivered for 2 months of requesting. When the assets arrived there was 3 weeks of compliance and regulatory training before which my position was eliminated as a result of business restructuring and downsizing. I got my startup offer (strategy type role)by then and I resigned from the IT firm with proper reliving letter and fnf settlement. I have now got an offer from a boutique consulting firm(after working in my startup for around 6 months) . I have however not mentioned this IT mnc in my resume at all since I did not gain any kind of work experience at this firm and it was not adding any value to my resume in terms of the types of roles I am looking for, I wanted to keep my other internships and startup tenure as they were more valuable. Is this going to cause an issue if I undergo a bgv process in my new firm? I have all the proper exit documents and there is no overlap of employment anywhere. Please advise. I am a 2022 pass out.

I have had to quit my current company within 4 months since I cannot be this far from hometown due to family health issues, is that considered a "frequent-switch". I love the role that I’m doing but I have to quit due to these unforeseen reasons, I do have a remote role which aligns better at a much riskier company than my current (the offer is from a pre seed company)

Need HR perspective

One of my close friends is not liking the work in the current company due to the terrible WLB. He is planning to switch to a new company but doesn't want to show this current company experience of 3+ months. Have you ever come across such a situation? What's the best thing to do? If he reveals to the new employer then it won't be good on his resume because the company previous to the current one laid off 50% of employees and unfortunately he got affected too in that layoffs. So, due to tough market conditions he has joined a startup and realised that he can't sustain here for long.

Please guide if it's alright not to put the last 3 months experience in the resume and apply for new jobs.

Does hiding previous experience of 3-6 months create any trouble in the new company?

Welcome to Product Managers's Private Community

Hey, my current title at the company is “Frontend Engineer” but over time I have started contributing to backend as well. Now I am looking to switch to a fullstack position. So when HRs ask me what do I do, I mention I am a fullstack dev at my current company.

Is this okay to do or should I just mention I am a frontend dev?

I am worried about this because what if they think I am lying about my title. They might expect to see “Software Engineer” or “Fullstack Engineer” on my offer letter/payslips at the end of the interviews.

TLDR: how important is the title on the offer letter and payslips while switching?
