Hi!

I'm currently doing my Masters from tier 1 University in India and have 4 years of experience working as a Data Scientist in an MNC.
When I go for a job search for a Data scientist role soon, will my job experience before Masters be considered and given a role according to the seniority?

Welcome to Office Gossip's Private Community

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?

Has anyone here done double MBA? 
I am currently thinking of doing another MBA(outside India). Did my MBA from top 15 Bschools in India 10 years back.
Reason: Honestly want to move out of India.

Double MBA

Head Of Growth

Off late I have been contemplating moving out of India given the work culture, pathetic pay scales, bad governance etc.

Which is the best route to do so? Should I check with immigration consultants? I saw that Aus, Canada have skilled worker shortage. Will that help my case?

Are there companies who are willing to sponsor visa? Any success stories that you can share. 

What are my options so I can make the right move ?

PS. I am currently a PM (MBA+B.Tech) working for a US based company (remotely). 10+ yoe.

Hi, how hard set is the work experience requirement in JDs for PMs. If somebody applies with less experience will they get outright rejection? How much deficit of WE is acceptable? And how to show experiences per year rather than work ex in years?

I will go first, i have deleted my first company from my resume because even though i was very good at coding. They put me in a support project in graveyard shift.  I faked illness to get out of shift, and later on was removed and put in angular project. 

I moved on 6 months later to a good company as backend engineer but i really regret joining my 1st company.

When asked , I just say the work was not relevant to what i wanted.

Please share your experience too.

Have you deleted any experience from your resume ? Why and how do you explain the gap?

Guys,
I graduated in 2020. Started software engg job in 2021 April. Due to covid the joining date got delayed.
I needed money so I started a informal company/ vendor and I  built a team of 5-10 people and used to provide educational material to unacademy like mcq and subjective question papers of 6-12 th class. 
I got fired from apna last month. Should I include this experience in my updated resume?

2020-2021 : above mentioned work
2021-2022: Service based company
2022-2023 sept: apna


Question:
1. This work experience is not related to soft engg at all. So how does engg managers/hiring managers/recruiters see this thing?
2. I am thinking this experience can show I tried something different and had an experience of managing people little bit. 
I am afraid on how hr/ senior software enggs would react to that in screening call.

Please guide. Looking for ans from senior devs/hrs/ Ems.

Need advice in adding work experience.

Welcome to IT Company Discussion's Private Community

Whenever I receive a recruiter call, the first question they ask is why did you leave your previous job.
How do I answer this effectively.
I'm pretty new to the IT industry and would like to know about how to handle these kinds of questions.

How do I answer "Why did you leave your previous job" effectively?

It’s been a month since i joined EY, and today I got a mail for background verification, requesting a relieving letter from my past employer. And now the issue is that my old company has deleted all their email addresses and not responding to texts or calls. I was supposed to get all of it within 10 working days after resignation. I can’t figure out what to do next? How to proceed??

Need guidance regarding previous employment

Some background info -
Qualification = BE
APM exp = 3+ years (1 switch)
Reason = Exposure + Experience + Pay

How to go about this and what are the chances?
I'm applying in India too, but want to go outside for a couple of years.

Welcome to Ask Grapeviners's Private Community

I encounter a lot of job openings which require some experience, say 1 year or 2 years. Even though I feel I would be a great fit being a fresher and someone with little experience (goggle summer of code and only intern experiences), I end up not applying as it would need a referral and I would possibly be wasting time of the person who would be giving me referral as possibly my application might not even get considered (as I fail the experience benchmark). Can anyone suggest what should I do? Is there a strong cap about the experience required ?

Applying for experienced jobs as a fresher

I applied for a PMO role at LTI fortunately cleared 1st round of interview , then comes BGV verification process before 2nd round
They said me my BGV is red because , they are not hiring candidates from one of the company I previously worked for in start of my career! But my current employment is at Capgemini and they are not just considering current but also your 7 years companies list I have worked for!

This is soo Strange and disheartening!🙁To just get rejected due to my pervious employment and  not on my ability!

Any suggestion if someone faced the same at any company?🥲

LTI mind-tree rejection

Saw some misguided student post about PM internships. This is for anyone considering a PM internship.

DONT.

A fresher should not be going into Product Management. Focus on building hard skills first. You need an edge/alpha in your career strategy while reducing risk.

Atleast work for 1 year in the industry in a hard skill role. Then, think about transitioning.

This does two things.

1. You have a core differentiator compared to other candidates: Engg/ Design/ Sales/ Data Science/ Analytics.

Having a PM internship is not a good enough differentiator. No company would hire a Product Management intern over someone with hard skills in another domain. 

Product is different. In SDE, it makes sense to have multiple internships as it gives confidence to the recruiter that you’ll be able to do your job.

In PM, no recruiter worth their salt will consider a PM internship contributing to you being a successful PM. Your internship doesn’t contribute anything meaningful to its ability to communicate your skill.

2. You realise if you’re getting into a field because it’s a fad or you’re genuinely interested in it.

I’ve seen many such freshers switch into product and get into suboptimal orgs. Don’t. Do your career a favour and work on your hard skills. That alone will contribute a lot more to your Product Skills than some poor internship.

As a GPM at Gojek, I will never hire anyone who has done a PM internship unless they have a solid track record in a hard skill based role.

You can only be a good “enabler“ if you can empathise with a “builder”. 

Can you be a PM out of college, YES? Should you? NO.

You’ll realise this later in your career. First gain experiences building/enabling real products, you’ll thank yourself for that when it helps you build better Products. 

Also, stop listening to these charlatans who masquerade as Product Gurus. They are out to make a quick buck. Don’t do these Product Courses. It’s all a farce. First, get some experience and then you’ll know

Why you shouldn’t do PM internships?

Hey everyone,

I have got a quick question. Does Deloitte USI asks for reliving letter from all previous employers for their background verification check?
