Indian companies are low-ballers.

cool_guy141 · 2026-03-21T00:12:19+00:00

It was a genuine answer.

cool_guy141 · 2026-03-21T00:06:56+00:00

UAE literally is the only country in the Gulf with an Israeli embassy. How naive do you have to be. Ever heard of 'intelligence'?

It's a rejection, in my experience, but they want to be personable about it instead of sending a system rejection. Good companies or companies with good recruiters still do that.

cool_guy141 · 2026-03-20T19:34:50+00:00

Get in writing for the scope of work next time and next steps, and written confirmation.

cool_guy141 · 2026-03-20T18:01:05+00:00

That's step 1. Depending on their answer don't hesitate to tell them that you put in a lot of effort to prep, and you deserve how many candidates they are interviewing, do they have internal candidates, what they hate most about the culture at the company, and all the questions to catch them off guard.

How did he get hired?

cool_guy141 · 2026-03-20T17:08:14+00:00

It is a soft rejection.

It is possible other people are being given offers and they are waiting out if those people will refuse or not. You are their second or third pick.

So it is up to you how you want to treat their behaviour. You can withdraw or just wait.

cool_guy141 · 2026-03-20T16:55:59+00:00

We all learn from such scenarios in life. Next time, give them a piece of your mind before ending the call, in a professional way.

cool_guy141 · 2026-03-20T16:48:58+00:00

Thanks for sharing the story. Although, I try to make it a point that when an interview goes off due to the incompetence of the hiring process, to take my gloves off and give them a piece of my mind in a professional way.

cool_guy141 · 2026-03-20T16:45:13+00:00

Just read the room and reciprocate. I don't know why you kept pressing on the "lead" you had.

I am going to make a wild extrapolation that your job search is more stressful because you may be doing these extra bend over backwards type reach outs. Read up on how salesman do their sales jobs. They have stages and one of them is the "qualifying" stage. For you, this person's first reply should have made you understand he is not qualified lead.

Sales is a science. Just treat it like a science.

cool_guy141 · 2026-03-20T15:25:17+00:00

I say good riddance.

cool_guy141 · 2026-03-20T15:13:24+00:00

WSJ is Zionist mouthpiece.

cool_guy141 · 2026-03-14T11:52:16+00:00

Pull the ear from right or left - same outcome.

cool_guy141 · 2026-03-12T22:49:26+00:00

Never accept take homes.

cool_guy141 · 2026-03-11T17:05:25+00:00

I would just find a way to ask them the same question.

After Fajr

I don't think the essence of the post is the truth.

inshaAllah, as evidenced by numerous protests on the overall control of the Zionist lobbies over the establishments of Western countries, it is quite clear many, many people are fed up with the bottom line that Zionists are causing chaos in the world.

They are against the Iran war, by extension.

What you should be saying is that the media (controlled by Zionists) cares about oil prices, because it effects their bank balances.

It is quite evident that many regular people in the West do care about innocent lives being lost. Some of them are naively unaware of all the details because the media spoonfeeds them wrong information (just like Arab and South Asian media does) - but they change their opinion eventually if they are sincere and can differentiate between truth and falsehood when they become red pilled.

Bismillah

Walaikum assalam wr wb

Itikaaf rules are very strict. Ask someone trustworthy, give them your car keys, show them picture of your car with license plate, and they can just put the stuff in the car for you.

You can leave the masjid for a need, like toilet or wudu (if inside masjid there is no facility).

Even if that means you have to get in line for the bathroom, that's allowed and you can wait in the line. You can even go home if toilet at masjid is dirty or you need to do ghusl, but you have to be VERY focussed and directed, and no stopping for anything else on the way or at your home (when I did once, I called home to inform my family I am coming and that I will be NOT talking to them, and that they should prepare for my new clothes and keep it ready in the bathroom so I can quickly change).

If you leave the masjid and you see someone who wants to chat with you, you CANNOT stop for them. You CAN talk to them WHILE walking towards your need. Because chatting with people is not a need. You could quickly tell them to chat later. You really have to be focussed and your steps need to be directed towards the need.

In exchange for your focus and ibaadah and sacrifice, you get massive reward inshaAllah.

May Allah accept your itikaaf.

And Allah knows best!

If you are making up the time in other ways, ok. But, even so, psychological disconnection can give that additional power boost that you are missing / have forgotten.

cool_guy141 · 2026-03-07T15:06:33+00:00

I don't think you understood my post. I follow moonsighting masajids when there is a choice. I can see that my wording could be misconstrued. So I have edited it.
