UPDATE:
This is because 99% of the people who see Kaushik for Morgan Stanley Python Developer with Networking experience resume would have no clue he is 100% what they seek.

Please notice this person was interviewed for this job and he can code in Python and has a CCNA certification (Cisco Certified Network Administrator)

When I asked him had he interviewed for this position in NYC he said no. I later found out he interviewed for the same job with same manager Alpharetta GA.

Below is feedback from hiring manager why they didnt select him.

Comments

Previously submitted to this manager for the Alpharetta GA position and manager rejected - Vishnu did good on interviewed conducted with him. While his experience was impressive though overall he lacks extensive experience in developing and supporting enterprise level applications in the domain of network automation.

What this person will do is: Write Python code to extract data from tens of thousands of networking devices (routers switches hubs firewalls access points bridges repeaters load balances etc.) from all over the world. They will then use this data to analyze how to improve the Morgan Stanly networks to improve performance. Since this person is interacting constantly with networking engineers they have to understand the concepts from a high level and be able to talk their talk

The hiring manager has a Masters Degree in Network Engineering from New York University. He spent 3 years working as a network engineer at Sony Electronics. On his own he learned how to code in Python. Then he joined the investment bank for the last 7 years.

Notes:

  • Visa Status: Open to USC GC H4-EAD
  • Interview Rounds: 2 (1 Zoom Video 1 In-Person)
  • Must be local to NYC or NJ and available immediately
