Just be honest. And keep it simple and crisp. 

I switched a company in 3mo and was transperent that I didn't like the culture there but didn't go into any kind of detail about toxicity etc.

IMO be honest.
I worked in my last company for 6 months only but decided to switch as there was no growth happening as higher management people always try to push you down. And politics was next level.

Some interviews said its bad for me to apply this fast (even though they selected me for interview after seeing resume), but some were super friendly and not bothered too much.

TBH, it depends on company how they treat this

Data engineer

You can be honest and I'm pretty sure they'll appreciate it. 

You shouldn't bad mouth that company or any manager. Instead you can focus on what you expected from there career-wise. And proceed to telling why you think the new company will suit your needs better.

I am just 1.5 years old into my current company and the growth seems to be slow here.Hence wondering if I can look outside in the market for some new opportunities.

Just an anxiety: What should I answer if the HR asks me about the frequent switches?

I always get stuck on this question ( ofcourse I do it for quick growth) but how can I sugarcoat to justify this?

Please comment and share your thoughts.

I am not very fond of the culture at my new company and want to switch jobs within 6 months of joining? Is this frowned upon or is it a common occurrence across the industry? I just don’t want this to tarnish my reputation or harm my future prospects. Any feedback would be greatly appreciated.

2 months back joined an organisation but getting other offer which is good. Should make a switch ?

Should Switch

Hi,

I have almost 10 months of experience as software developer in 3 companies one internship, 2 full-time. First 2 was absolutely initial-stage startups, this one is a seed-funded startup. In my current company the culture and the manager is really nice. I work as a backend developer, node, MongoDB, express, genai, auth, etc. tech stack. But the work does not excite me at all, I was enjoying at my previous company a lot more. That was young team, so everyone was new to tech and trying to figure out things and was helpful and collaborative. Here everyone is in their 30s and 40s and I am 23, no one even cares of what I work and how difficulty I am facing in work/team. That's why I fear of losing my job every day and I am still on my probation. So I thought of applying in case I get laid off. I got an interview opportunity at company. I want to ask what should I answer if the interviewer asks me about the frequent switches.

In first company I switched because the company is like 3 people and no funding was received so only 3 more months of money remaining( btw now only the founder left and he is still trying to raise money, my other colleague left too). So what should I give a reason for this potential switch? 

Current perks: 6LPA base. Nothing else.

Have an interview coming up, how to prepare for frequent switching question?

Question on Switching Current Company

I m Tier 1 MBA with 3.5 years of experience in Strategy and Marketing. 
Took a paycut on my 2022 CTC to join a great company in a great role in 2023 during all layoff scenes of early 2023.
This year also I m expecting hardly 7 - 8% hike.

It is frustrating 😞. Salary day is the saddest day for me. My current in hand is lesser than my 2nd year salary.

I want to switch but just worried about too many switches on my resume.

Growth Manager

For how much % hike will you switch from your current company to another company?

And also mention your current role.

Switch - Thread

This was my pathetic interview experience with Acceldata india with a very unprofessional and lying recruiter. This story has a satisfying ending.

I attended 6 rounds of interviews in 1 month and completed a take home assignment. I cleared all the rounds and even had a manager discussion about my onboarding. All good so far. 

Few days later the recruiter called back and said we need one more round (8th round) with the director who sits in US office. I said Ok and he scheduled this call on a Friday 10pm at night. 

At 9:55pm I tried to join the meeting link he sent but the link was not working. I tried in different browsers, different laptop, different internet connection. No luck. 

So I reached out to recruiter on mobile and he doesn't pick up. I know he's available because he was on call with someone else. I even tried reaching him via a different phone number but still no luck. Imagine the anxiety and panic I had to go through since I felt that it was my fault. 

On, next day he casually calls me in the morning to say that "Sorry I tried calling you 2 days ago but your mobile was unreachable (which is a plain lie). He says he cancelled the meeting because he found another candidate with lower salary.

That's fine, and I don't give a damn at this point. But I asked why didn't he send meeting cancelled email so I didn't have to panic on a friday late night. He casually says "Sorry about that". That's the last I hear of him. No response after that. 

All this after going through 8 rounds of interviews and a take home assignment. All because this a--hole recruiter lied to my face and couldn't send a simple email. 

Funny thing is: Another recruiter reached out to me 3 months later for the same role. Apparently the candidate they hired instead of me backed out at the last miniute. 🤣

If you get a chance to interview at AccelData, trust me, please don't waste your time. The company and the recruiting practises are not worth your time, even if you are jobless.

Don't bother interview with AccelData

This is EXACTLY one of the ways this platform is meant to be used. Call out the BS and NAME THE DAMN COMPANY. Dodged a bullet there OP.

General tips on handling priliminary HR call

How do I negotiate better with the HR?
(Eg:- There have been times where I was offered lower pay compared to what the same company offered to 2023 graduates in my college because of my current CTC)

Should I share where I'm going once the offer is finalized in my current company?

These are some questions which popped up when I recently got a few calls. Any extra tip is also appreciated.
