Current job is stagnant, no learning. 
 Main udna chahta hu bus rukna nhe chahta.

Is saying no learning a good idea ? Does it create any negative impression on the candidate?

They wanna hear what they wanna hear. It's better to butter them up and the org. At the end of the day all know it's about money.

Current job isn’t challenging enough anymore

You can say ke their USP is in XYZ domain and I feel I have had a good amount of exposure in the same and believe that I should move on to another domain in order to increase my knowledge and skills.  
  
 You can say that your ABC domain is something I was interested in and seems like an amazing opportunity to try out the field and be able to contribute to the challenges faced in the same.

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.

How do I negotiate better with the HR?

I honestly struggle a lot with this question- Why do you want to join our company? I do not know how to answer this. I mean the reason is simple, I need a job, and your company needs an employee. But, of course, we cannot say that. So, what is a nice positive answer that I can give when HR asks me this question?

Hi All,

I Joined this Irish-American tech consulting company  in 2021 with a 130% hike & 3.8 YOE. 
I learnt a lot of new things and made some really good connections within 1.5 years.Now the work has been saturated to a point where I no longer write code , but only review it while approving the prs of juniors. Also I don't like the way the people at the client side run the project. 
Even if I ask for a change in a project I know for a fact that either it will take at least 6 months or the other project will be mostly like be support work.  
Please help me come up with a polite reason that's not about higher education or salary. 
I have an offer from Deloitte and TCS currently with a 50 % hike.

These days HRs are asking the employees before sitting for an interview about their current ctc. I don’t want to reveal that to them and want to get paid according to the industry standards/ based on the market conditions. How to smoothly avoid that question and avoid getting underpaid?

How to avoid “what’s your current ctc?”

Why switch? Why not switch? What were the motivations that you had when you thought of switching and whether the result was favourable to you or not?

Switch or no switch, that is the question

Welcome to Product Managers's Private Community

I will go first - 


"Are you looking for a job change?" ( Hell no, I was just testing the naukri.com functionality)


"What is your notice period?" And whatever your answer is, they will say, "We are looking for somebody who can join in 2 to 4 weeks"


"How many jobs have you changed till date?" Whatever your answer is, they are not happy. If you haven't changed any, they think you don't have skills and just hanging on to the current job. 


"What is your expected CTC?" And whatever your answer is, they will ask, "Is it negotiable?" ..... (Reminds me of fish market)

Hello Grapeviners,

What is with Indian recruiters wanting to know your CTC as the very first step of hiring? And when asked to share the ctc range in which the role falls, they refuse to share.  So basically they just want to lowball candidates based on their current CTC and parity is a joke?
Now If a recruiter denies sharing the range for the role and insists on knowing my CTC, I run!  What are your thoughts?

Recruiters want to know your CTC

As a recruiter, i have candidates asking me the payscale and i usually share them the compensation bands we have ...although in most cases we are told strictly not to tell the applicants ...however for me , i think it kinda makes my job much easier as they don't false expectations with the role or the salary ...neither i make them waste their time interviewing us ...saves a lot on both sides  
 My managers do expect me to have certain extra good profiles just to maintain our pipeline and show a good funnel of quality folks..but it does not work my way ...

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.

Hello Fine Viners- it's been 2 months now that I am actively looking for a job change. Have faced instances where the HR calls me regarding the scheduling of the interview, but vo hota hi nahi hai! Even if the interview is scheduled, I don't get an update post that call. I have rejected 2 offers (there are solid reasons to do so) and have been rejected from 2 :(

LinkedIn and IIMjobs are on a constant battle on who will give me the most rejection emails or updates. 

Anyways, I am getting a bit worried lately and wanted to know from ya'll, IS HIRING EVEN HAPPENING!? 

In case your answer to the above question is YES, then please mention your company name and mode of working (wfh, wfo or hybrid). Referral are also welcomed.

My profile: Generalist role in EdTech. 7+ YoE.

Can someone please tell me the correct answers for these questions asked by HR? 🙏🏼
Why are you looking for a change? 
If you already have an offer, why are you still looking?
Why do you want to join us?

Please help, as I am genuinely confused. I’m saying something wrong that I’m not getting a callback,

I need answers

I am interested in a company but the salary range is a little low. 

Should I apply and ask the recruiter for a salary increase? (The salary range is the same as what I am currently earning so it doesn't make sense for me to switch for the same salary).

PS: I can easily make it into the role.

Can I ask for a higher salary?
