Should my friend do this ?

One of my friends, who is highly talented and an adept competitive programmer, recently received an offer from "Tech Mahindra" with a package of 3.25 LPA and a 2.5-year service bond. Given the current tough economic climate, should he accept this offer or wait and prepare for better opportunities? Additionally, if anyone can refer him to opportunities in their current company, it would be greatly appreciated. Thanks for your help and insights!

Hey Folks, Since I come from software engineering background so looking for some help from you all. One of my friend has about 6yr of experience working as Senior DataScientist and he is pretty good at the work. I see him continuously brushing up with almost latest things happening in ML space. He is now looking for job switch but struggling to get interview call and not able to clear rounds for scheduled interviews. Something is going off in his case, dont know what. I really want to help him so Pls help me with this question - 1. What are the companies hiring for DS2 or Senior DS role for now? 2. What is the expectation from a Data Science candidate in the interviews? 3. What are the popular interview questions that are being asked these days? 4. If possible please share your recent interview questions. This would be really helpful to all other folks as well who are preparing and are in the same route

A potential Secondment at a MNC Client was pitched to a friend of mine by his employer (also a MNC), about which he was very excited. In his current role, he's due to become Manager in 6 months (giving him a 38% hike), however none of his Bosses have given him any assurance to the effect that the promotion will be granted, but still he's confident that he shall get promoted. His name was proposed to the Client for the Secondment, and he cleared technical interview rounds with the Client's team. The JD shared by Client which position was being filled by Secondment is of AVP with my friend meeting the experience level sought by the Client. The fee proposed by his employer to the Client is 5 times my friend's salary and his ultimate plan was also to transition out from his employer to become a permanent employee at the Client, once the Secondment period of 6 months gets completed. Now for reasons best known to the employer and Client, it is looking like the Secondment may not happen after all. In such a situation, what should be the ideal strategy for the employee (Feel free to comment below and share inputs/insights etc) - Should he approach the MNC directly, offering his services and interest? Or, given that the Client and his employer have an existing relationship, and there's a risk that the Client may notify the employer of the employee's proposal - Should he accept his fate and move on with life? Would your answer change in such a case, if the Client itself seeks out the employee and encourages him to join them? Is there any other option in your opinion by which the employee may secure and not let go of this opportunity?

I usually panic before an interview and end up not attending it at all or postponing it. Even after preparing I feel under pressure and get performance anxiety. How can I tackle this? I’m always worried about what they’ll ask and if I don’t answer properly what will they think of me, I get such intrusive thoughts. And even after preparing I always feel like I have not prepared well enough.

I joined this job 3 months back. Things haven't been good. Part of the problem is that the people I am reporting into have little to no experience in the segment they are entering into and are not willing to listen to someone who has worked in this segment for 15+ years. I am a little bemused.... I don't really need the job. But the money is nice..... Any suggestions on what to do.....

I'm in Founder's office role, and a part of the work requires prospecting for hires for a team. On the first day, I pulled out a list of potential hires, but it was brushed aside. Now the team head posts on social media that they are looking for someone to fill that role (I had list for), and referral will get the approx INR 2.4L My monthly salary is also not INR 2.4L! I am so pissed. How do I convey this professionally and (also ask for the slice of cake) I obviously have data ready and can get someone to join, but it won't get me even 1 p from 2.4L

Background, I got laid off from an organisation and by god's grace I had a offer, which was not that good 10% decrement in salary, but me being a scared person joined the company. Now 1 month after I realised I can do much better and market seems to open up. What should I tell the HR in 2 scenarios. 1. I had already started Interviewing and haven't mentioned that I was layed off. What should I tell if I get selected? 2. If a opportunity comes to start Interviewing for seperate company, should I mention about ty current company or no? PS. The work in current organisation is not that good and it's a contractual role.

l attended an interview today and told my expectation is 24 LPA, but they said for my skills, they were expecting to give around 26 to 30 LPA. Now they've asked me to think about the proper CTC and give it to them. I don't want to ask for 30 LPA either. How can I revert back and how can I ask them for ~28 LPA now? History: I've been leading teams and developing projects that were used by millions of people. Worked with startup's that were in rock bottom and bought them to a good position. Finished college last year. But getting into full time for the first time. Been working as a freelancer/contractor for 5+ years.

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.
