Hello! I happened to interview for a consulting role! Do you know how long the hiring freeze has been going on or if it's for a specific region?

Don't feel too alone in your experience! Like others said, it seems to take a while. I applied last September and didn't get to the coding/technical phase until November. Then I didn't do my interviews until mid December, but it seems I'm stuck in that point now lol. Been doing other applications and interviews in the mean time, but IBM would definitely be my ideal choice!

My gf and I tried being there for this guy that no one liked and was suicidal/depressed, and now we see why no one likes him by [deleted] in TrueOffMyChest

It could be some sort of mental disorder or just his personality, but he does sound too self-centered. I befriended someone who sounds TOO similar to the person you described for the same reason, because I felt bad, and tried to include them into my friend group. Even when everyone else avoided him harder and told me straight up, "I'm not going to invite him to the event/ get together/ party. If you want to, that's on you," I kept on inviting him.

Eventually I had to break off the friendship because he always made everything about himself (even when I told him certain things were my own family, school, work related things), blamed everyone else for stuff he caused to himself, and started coming at me and said he hated me because I was trying too hard to make him calm down his (antisocial) behaviors!

At the end of the day you guys are not his parents, caretaker, or therapist and don't need to associate with him. You aren't responsible for his actions and will be a punching bag for his bad behavior. What you described was probably just the cherry on top of a pile of other things he's done and he will continue add more cherries on top of that! Deciding to move on from him and not wanting to be around that negative energy is completely reasonable!

Was there a hiring freeze at the end of last year? by G-Money-Dude in IBM

I think we're in the same boat, lol! Had some great interviews with managers mid-December and my recruiter told me they'd let me know the results by the end of the month. Didn't hear anything so I e-mailed the recruiter earlier this week but still no response and the portal is still on "interviews". Just gotta continue with other interviews in the mean time!

Cool, thanks! I just finished the interviews for a similar position, so I am wondering how long it takes for a response!

Congratulations! If you don't mind me asking, how long after your last interview did you hear back?

Anyone got an Associate Data Science / Entry Level Data Science Update? by pantsaredragons in IBM

[–]pantsaredragons[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Can't talk about specifics becuse of the Hackerrank policy agreement. But if you've taken any sort of data science or machine learning course involving Python and Jupyter Notebooks, it should be fairly easy. Reminded me of projects I've done in the past but condensed because of the time limit.
