Welcome to Software Engineers's Private Community

So, I just came across an opening that I find myself a great fit w.r.t. the JD provided. But it's the weekend now. And I'm not sure if I should wait till Monday for me to DM the recruiter/senior dev working at that company asking for referral. On the other hand, waiting 2 more days might backfire on me as in the past where I had waited, the opening would get closed or removed on a Sunday night and I ended up not applying and losing out on the opportunity. What do you suggest ?

The company is ANZ.

Hello!

I am looking for a referral in Barclays/ Tietoevry, Mastercard or Amdocs. I have the job code for the openings. Though I have applied for it, I feel a referral might accelerate and help the application better.

Not looking to shop around, just want a job with good life work life balance and decent pay.

I am local to Pune and can join in a months time (can negotiate it to 2 weeks)

Would appreciate the help :) Thanks in advance!


P.s Open to any other place with hybrid model with good WLB and has cab facility if location is far/ in outskirts

Need help with referral for HR Openings

Human Resources

It has been 25 days since I got laid off from the startup that I was working for. I have given a few interviews. Got rejected in 1st or 2nd rounds in a few, went till the last round n rejected in a couple and haven't heard back from the HR in a few. Not hearing back, unanswered calls, delays in rounds etc. cause a lot of anxiety and impacts my confidence and preparation levels. How do I tackle it? 
Also, unable to find fresh openings in product/ strategy roles for past few days. This also adds to pressure and uncertainty.

In short, it is a very troubling phase. How do I deal with it? Need enormous help from all of you folks. Would love to hear some great thoughts / insights / hacks too.

Laid off and preparing for interviews

Product Manager

Recruiters and hiring managers,

What's the time window after which you typically stop going through new resumes for a job posting?

Trying to understand if applying on a 6 day or two week old job posting makes sense or not.

How late is too late to apply?

Software Developer

You've planned your weekend on Friday, just before closing the system, but then suddenly, a client calls you or a manager comes up with an urgent work request, asking you to complete it. You also realize that the task is critical, and you may have to work on the weekends. Has this happened to anyone? If so, how do you deal with it?

Have you ever received work on a Friday just before closing your system?

Hi all,

I have recently joined a new company and a lot of people (mostly people I don't know) are reaching out for referrals. I know the time is tough.
How do you all decide whom to refer? Friends and people you know are definitely there. You can't be referring everyone as it decreases your credibility if they are not suitable for the role or don't get hired.
Also, how do you say no to such requests?

Thank you!

Referrals - How to decide?

I arranged employee referrals from Microsoft , Visa , Arcesium , Walmart but no response came not even rejection its almost 1 month.
Is there any other trend prevailing in market?
Or more precisely Am I approaching in the wrong way?

It seems employee referrals are not working these days

It’s pretty well known that Microsoft referrals are useless

Macquarie is actively hiring especially in India for Tech, Control Assurance, Risk and many more roles.

Anyone looking for a referral regardless of role, experience and location can DM me.

If you know someone who may benefit from a referral please pass it on to them.

All the best in your search!

So, I've recently joined a company and I've been getting a lot of requests for referrals from folks on LinkedIn whom I don't know personally. 

I feel for these folks because I was in a similar situation a few months ago, trying very hard to switch.

But, I'm sort of confused as to - should we refer someone whom we have never met personally? Does the concept of "referral" allow that?

What do you guys think?

Regarding referrals.

I am seeing LinkedIn posts everyday about how people are starting a new position in a different organisation. I've tried LinkedIn job posts, asking for referrals, trying less popular job portals, applying directly in career pages of companies, and changing my resume multiple times. But no luck. Even if the resume gets shortlisted now, there's no further action. 

I can see multiple people giving seminars on how to switch jobs but everyone has the same things to say.

Any suggestions?

How are you successfully switching jobs?

A friend has a kickass resume (according to me) for a very niche business role that just opened up at Google. But he has no experience in applying for big companies. 

We’ve been reviewing his resume together and honestly, all the feedback I have is from what I have read online. He seems to be sure that he’ll be able to nail the interviews but that’s honestly not a problem for later imo. 

He has a referral and wants to make sure he gives his best shot. For those who got interview calls or work there right now, what do you think worked for you?

How do you make sure you clear an interview at Google?

Hi guys,
I am getting calls from recruiters starting last week and most of them are asking whether they can schedule an interview the next day?
I am currently in a super hectic different tech stack project.  I need 2-3 days or a week to be ready na?

How do I convince the recruiters to have it after a few days not the next day or day after?

UX/UI Designer

I have seen some companies post about them looking to hire a lot of people and ask people to reach out to them over DM (if their DM is even open in the first place lol), but when I do, I never hear anything back. I have 4 yoe and have applied to so many of these companies, reached out to people working there, but no one has ever replied back. Why do they even say that their DMs are open in the first place? I don't know how to even get my resume in front of an actual person working there, and my resume is not even that bad. Like how do people get interviews in these companies in the first place? I have applied so many times but never actually got contacted by any HR. Any tips will be much appreciated.

[Rant] How do you get interviews in big companies like FAANG, PhonePe, Rippling, Atlassian, etc?

Getting interviews at FAANG india is not hard at all. Especially Amazon would literally interview anyone who knows basic coding and is alive. Have blocked multiple of their recruiters. 
  
 Try reaching out to folks working in these companies on LinkedIn.

Would u take the interview they say they can't wait till Monday

What would u do if someone wants to interview on a Sunday night

TL;DR

We stay on the internet nowadays. I am doing so since 2009. From orkut to fb, Twitter to insta, WhatsApp to Tg and Quora to Reditt.

If u look closely all are Western apps, few entrepreneurs tried to make the Indian SM app but it turned cringe n toxic like hood etc.

I was silent reader here for 3m, then started interacting actively 5m back. Saw this platform evolving from 0 to 1. Hell a lot of improvement.

But what I loved maximum is how beautifully people help each other, from referral to rant, Job opening to layoff, CTC discussion to crazy comparison, love to hate, left to right, PM to Sde, Whitefield to Koramangala and what not...

We have everything on a tap from food to cab and dating to matrimonial still we are the unhappiest gen.

GrapeVine( thanks to @Micheal_Scott )kinda platform is helping to kill that loneliness and toxicity of one's life.

Always there to discuss and talk about semiconductors, ai, economy, philosophy, marketing, music n memes!

🥂 Cheers and have a nice day.

Keep smiling ☺️

So I have been interning at Accolite Digital as an Swe. I got the opportunity via oncampus drive. They offered a 6 month internship+ FTE(8 lpa CTC and 3 lpa as retention bonus). After 4 months of internship they randomly terminated internships of 10 interns stating their performance was inadequate which was complete bullshit as I knew those interns worked really hard. Later the HR told us that they have reduced the retention bonus from 3 lpa to 2 lpa without having any discussion with us. After 6 months of internship they again forced around 20-30 interns to hand over their resignation as they have found better opportunity but the reality was that they didn't have projects to allot to them and didn't want to display it as layoffs. After all this shitholery they gave the rest of us an extension of 2 months till 15th of October and today they told us that they have further extended our internship till December. During this period of time I worked my ass off for this shit organisation and worked late at night to connect with the client. They only paid us 20k as an internship stipend and expected us to be present at the office all 5 days a week. The worst thing is that I initially had 5 job offers in hand and I had to reject them all to accept this one. They also have 1 year of bond which they won't wave off. I am literally shattered and actively looking for better job opportunities as a SWE fresher with 8 months of internship experience. I would beg the community to please like this post as much as they can so that someone who is actively hiring who could see this. Also if any of u guys have any openings at ur firm please do consider me!!

I have an interview coming up next week, but since I work full-time, I can't do it during the week. Can I ask HR to schedule it only on a weekend? If they won't, I won't proceed 🤧
And how can I convince them for weekend 🥺
