Very literally. "We'll get a new front-end resource soon". "We're opening two more backfills for backend resources". "We need a front-end resource to unblock this ticket". I have a interview on Monday which I will decline. Literally copy pasting from their meeting invite - "Request to panel-Please Take Resource Snapshot along with Any ID Proof and share the Feedback along with IRF post completion of interview." It's gross.

What’s a resource snapshot? A weird way of saying ‘your impression of the applicant’?

  "Resource Snapshot along with Any ID Proof" - It means a screenshot of the interviewee and their ID proof together. It's a virtual interview invite. They usually ask the interviewees to hold up their ID proof, then take screenshots, before starting the interview.

      I'm a Software Engineer. Currently I'm working for a USA based product company with ~1000 employees (The ones who said "We'll get a new front-end resource soon". "We're opening two more backfills for backend resources". "We need a front-end resource to unblock this ticket".) The interview invite was for the position of a Tech Lead in an outsourcing firm in India. (The ones who said "Request to panel-Please Take Resource Snapshot along with Any ID Proof and share the Feedback along with IRF post completion of interview." Edit: In a recent anonymous survey, I gave the feedback to stop treating the India employees as code monkeys or outsourced work, because several have started considering this as "yet another service-company type job", and are thinking to leave. With outsourcing companies, you expect it. But if most indian engineers had clarified that "the India office is not a outsourcing office for this company" before joining, people are gonna be more pissed on being treated like that.
