Human Resources

It happens to me a lot. I get an email from a recruiter with just the job title and description. I replied, "Thanks, can you tell me the company name and salary?" Most of the time they tell me. But sometimes, they say things like, "It's a company in banking." I ask again, "Which company? And how much will they pay?" Why is it so hard for them to give me this simple information? And their follow-up is terrible. They don't even remember our conversation. It's ridiculous.

Why so many recruiters are bad at their jobs?

Interview Tips & Stories

So, I got invited for this interview, and they told me to be there at 9 AM.  Of course, I get there early, like 8:30, because I don't want to be late. But then I end up waiting for 1.5 hours.  Seriously, they didn't even acknowledge me until 10.

Then this HR lady calls me in, and she's totally unprofessional.  She's like, on her phone, making personal calls while I'm sitting right there. And then she starts asking me these really weird questions, like what my nickname is, and what my dad does for a living.

It got really uncomfortable when she started pressing for details about where my dad works. I mean, what does that have to do with anything? So I politely told her I didn't want to answer, and she actually said, "Then we can't continue this interview."

I was honestly shocked. But instead of arguing, I just stood up and said, “Alright then.” And walked out.

I left feeling pissed. Not only did they waste an hour of my time, but the HR rep was also rude and unprofessional..

Basically, it pauses food notifications during fasting hours (like Suhoor to 4 PM for Ramzan) so you don’t get tempted. And once the fast ends, they show special meal deals.

Kinda cool, but also feels like a smart marketing move. What do you guys think? 🤔

Just noticed a new feature on Swiggy—Fasting Mode! 🤔

Salary Discussions, Hike & Promotions

I'm keeping this anonymous because I don’t want to disclose it in real life. After two years without a raise, I successfully negotiated a 100% increase at my current company. I focused on creating significant value and worked in cross-functional teams to learn as much as possible. There were times when I was overworked, but it was all worthwhile. I was confident that it was a mutually beneficial situation.

My advice would be to choose your job wisely, create value in the right place, and don't be afraid to negotiate.

Just had to share this, I got a 100% hike!
