!process IBM SDE interview Poughkeepsie

[muted nexus]

did you receive that form asking for availability

[viscid creek]

everyone who got the interview will have that form, because how else would they know your availability, but getting that form does not mean you will get interview

[fair tapir]

Yea I was asked for my availability for like 4 different positions, I think it’s semi auto

[fair tapir]

Funny enough the interview time they gave me wasn’t in my availability

[viscid creek]

[spring breach]

they only gave me like one slot at 6pm for some reason lol

[fair tapir]
