Monday–Tuesday interview drives: where the action is
Where are quick interview drives this week? Bengaluru aggregators show Monday–Wednesday face‑to‑face drives mentioning Agentic AI and RAG. Hyderabad recruiters have hosted recent GenAI walk‑ins and continue advertising. Confirm the venue and stack before you go, since schedules shift quickly. Carry multiple resumes and an ID for security checks.
Remote vs hybrid for Agentic AI hiring
Work setup varies by employer and team. Some postings are remote across India for individual contributors. Walmart’s Bengaluru roles expect office presence while building RAG frameworks. JPMorgan cites in‑office collaboration for agentic solutions in Bengaluru. Clarify cadence, badging, and relocation help before accepting.
Portfolio and take‑home test prep for RAG and agents
Expect portfolio‑first screens and compact take‑home tasks. Many interviewers ask you to build a tiny RAG and explain choices. Cover chunking, retrieval, reranking, orchestration, and telemetry. Keep a public repo with notebooks, prompt traces, dashboards, and concise results. Timebox solutions and document trade‑offs in plain language.
Red flags in GenAI job posts
Move fast, but stay safe while applying. Do not pay any fee for registration, interviews, training, or onboarding. The Labour Ministry and Naukri reiterate these warnings today. Trust only official pages, verify walk‑ins, and reconfirm early‑week slots. If uncertain, call the employer’s board line to confirm.
