I passed 4 stages of interviews including the phone interview with Recruiter & HR, competency interview with 2 managers, case study with 2 sr. managers. At the final step I got rejected after final interview with 2 principals. The recruiter who keep calling me before & after every interview just sent me an automated rejection mail which says feedback will be provided. It has been weeks, and some follow up mails from my side asking about the feedback but I have been totally ghosted by the company. I am writing this to rant and also to answer questions for those who are in interview pro ..read more

I make $138.5k as a category manager and I believe there is a decent chance (based on discussions w my management) I will get promoted to Senior Category Manager in the next 2 months so I'd like to prepare and have some #s. I generally expect an offer of ~5% bump. I plan to counter and ask for 10% raise. What do you all think I should aim for? Bonus would go from 10%>15% so don't expect to push much there. submitted by /u/Jonathank92 [visit reddit] [comments ..read more

Hi, I’m a category manager in indirect and after 2.5 years I just feel bored of my role. My company does not have the room or bandwidth to move around. I also will most likely never be promoted due to where most positions are located. The pay is decent but $20k under what I should be making but good flexibility. How do I make my current situation work or do I job search? submitted by /u/Acceptable_Bad5173 [visit reddit] [comments ..read more

Wow I didn’t know there’s a subreddit dedicated to this profession. I’ve been looking for quite some time for people to ask advice on procurement. Neither do I know there’s an actual profession about it. I am holding the procurement/supply chain department (alone) of the family construction company for the past two years, holding multiple projects and I find it somewhat disorganized. We always do lean / JIT and it’s a pain in the ass. Hence, I want to build a system within the team that’s instead proactive. Currently I’m basing it off from what I read in the Internet (Needs Assessment, Sourci ..read more
