Interview Tips & Stories

I'm literally surfing a 100 jobs daily but
90% of it requires experienced candidates (1 is the bare minimum minimum) and my experience is 0,though I've done unpaid internship and I do have experience, is it possible that I'd be shortlisted or even considered for referrals when i apply to job roles with higher qualification than mine (considering I have what it takes to work for the job).

Please answer this 🥺

Can I apply for a job posting which is out of my experience range

Career Growth

Hi All,

My name is Abrakam Jaganath, and I'm 38 years old. My current CTC is Rs. 2.66 lakhs. I've been working as a Credit Verification Officer at Indusind Marketing Services Limited for the past six years. I resigned from my job last January.

Since then, I've been attending interviews with various companies for the past three months. However, every company requires experience in home loans and loans against property. Unfortunately, my experience is limited to two-wheeler loans. As a result, they're hesitant to consider my application.

Could you please guide me on how to update my skills and develop my career? I appreciate your advice.

Thank you,
Abrakam Jaganath"

Offered salary is 41lacs , 4.1 lacs variable and 50k stocks. But here role is solution architect role and my previous role is more like tech lead with architect skills. Is this good offer if I am almost 10 yr of exp

Offer good or bad

I recently switched jobs with a 48% hike, and my current in-hand salary is ₹35K. But after joining, I realized a few important things that weren’t mentioned during the interview.

1. No Phones or Bags Allowed – We have to keep them in lockers, which I wasn’t informed about before joining.

2. Working Saturdays – HR said all Saturdays are working but assured that one Saturday off per month would be introduced soon. I can't see that happening anytime soon

3. Phone Policy Confusion – When I asked HR why this wasn’t discussed earlier, they said it’s only for two months and won’t be the case at the new location (which was discussed earlier). But some old employees say the same rule applies there too.

4. Leaves – We get 21 paid leaves a year.

I’m already thinking of switching. Would it be too soon to leave within 3 months, or should I stay for at least 6 months? Also, since I just got a good hike, how much can I ask for in my next job?

Unexpected job policies: stay or switch?

Cctc - 27.4 (21.6 fixed + 5.8 variable)
Yoe - 10.7 years
Tech stack: .Net full stack + Azure PaaS

Cognizant offered around 42% hike on fixed component and gave 32LPA (30.5 fixed + 1.5 variable)

Got selected for HCL Tech (Henkel client) and LTIMindtree and expecting offers/HR discussion soon. Question is how much "Fixed component" should I ask them? 

Thanks in advance
