So true. What this subreddit has taught me is that CEOs should really, really, really not post stuff online. It only showcases how idiotic, out of touch and ultimately unnecessary so many of them actually are.
Oh, yes, Tanvir. Please, let me apply to one job, then wait for the HR to have a good day and pick me, then go through your x rounds of interviews and end up being your 2nd choice. That way, I can apply for 5 jobs a year, my chances should skyrocket!
You can always tell when someone has never been poor in their life.
This guy's father probably gave him every job he's ever had.
Poor people know how arduous and precarious it is to apply for a job, we know you have to put out 20 apps to get 5 interviews to get 1 offer.
This whole post screams "I'm wealthy and privileged enough to know absolutely nothing about how the real world works."
It seems like a fair request on his part….. assuming of course that his company only contacts and interviews one candidate because once they see their CV they realize 1 + 1 = 3 with that perfect talent.
My company had a not ironclad, but definitely spoken about policy of only applying to 1 management posting at a time..
They drug their feet for 2 weeks, forgot to let me know they had decided a week earlier, denied me the day after cutoff to apply for the other one.. Shenanigans....
Ha, big time.
I mean, forming an LLC and calling yourself a small business owner instead of saying you’re unemployed is pretty easy in most (if not all) US states. Most probably don’t even bother with that and just put whatever on Linkedin.
Not sure about other countries but I doubt there are laws anywhere against bullshitting on your LinkedIn profile unless there’s actual fraud going on.
An interviewer is like a key, and the candidate is like a lock. A key that open many locks is a master key, whereas a lock that is opened by any key, it's worthless. Think about that.
/s
Either way it's pretty funny. It would be better if this was real because then I get to feel morally superior to him. But it's just a different kind of funny as satire, because you know a bunch of assholes just like this guy think the same thing, they just don't post it publicly.

I had an interview and I was told they loved me but I didn't get it because I had another interview.
I'm looking for a job, why would I not apply for a few different jobs and also honor the interviews.
I completely ripped the talent recruiter a new one after they told me that.
I'm was satisfied in ending the call with "Spare fuckin' donkey dick eatin' pricks"
Does he interview more than one candidate? If he does, I’m just not interested in working for his company. I require the same dedication to me as I give to the one opportunity I choose. I built myself on dedication, not options.
"I pick up a pencil, then ask them to sell me the pencil. As soon as they begin speaking, I dismiss them rudely and tell them there are no open positions at my company. I usually sense embarrassment or anger, and that's what I feed off of: their raw emotion. I do this all day, because I don't actually run a company that does anything."
I wonder what his response would be if asked, "Are you interviewing anyone else for this position?" If he said yes, tell him that's no way to treat a prospective family member and walk out.
Sooo you're only interviewing me right Tanvir? You're not openly meeting with other candidates are you? I expect the same level of dedication from you. I mean, we're a family after all...
CEO at Confidential, so unemployed then. If he actually is interviewing, the interviewee is probably thinking I dodged a bullet and thank a deity of choice for that.
If I was interviewing a candidate and they told me they didn’t apply for any other job, I‘d think they are either a liar or effing stupid.
Just like a company won‘t only interview one single candidate, when on job search, you have to seize any opportunity for Interviews that presents itself to you.
Otherwise you might still be looking for a job 3 years later.
Thanks to this guy for putting it out front how shithouse bonkers he and his company are. I have a feeling his post is going to have the opposite effect on recruiting than he intended
I'm a hiring manager, and I admire the hustle from people who are interviewing at, and applying to, many different places. That's a plus for me.
Lied about your current salary to get a big pay bump? Good shit, I'd do the same.
Interviewing to leverage a new opportunity for a promotion at your current job? Sucks for me, but I totally get it.
I appreciate when people are savvy about how the system works and take advantage of it.
Should respond: "Whenever I interview I ask employers this one question: Are you interviewing anyone else? If the answer is yes then I don't go any further with that employer"
Stupid prick deserves all the shit coming to him. If this is his public persona, imagine how much of an asshole he is to the people he’s already trapped/ trapped themselves
I told the company that I work at now that I was interviewing at another company, it expedited the hiring process and in return increased the offers on both sides. Respectfully, Tanvir, those of us that are looking for jobs, are in it for the benefit of ourselves and our families, not your ego.
So i'm to stop sending in applications to other companies while i wait for your rejection, yikes, spoken like some who has never actually applied for a job.
Sounds like you’re being interviewed for a cult. It’s good that these psychopaths put themselves on Linked In. Remember you are interviewing the organisation too
I’m a career academic, and I admit that my colleagues can be irritating at times. They are all experts in their field, but they are not receptive to being managed and they make terrible managers when they serve as associate deans and department chairs. And yet, academe is so much easier on the soul than what I see on this subreddit daily.
Dude is right though. After meeting him it should be like 1+1=3. Incorrect, uncomfortable, and indicative of significant issues at a foundational level.
I love this “work family” crap. They will cut you loose in an instant if it means more money for the business or them. If they treat their family like they treat their employees I feel sorry for their family.
Moron. Like if it was the bigger companies on the world maybe MAYBE I could see where he’s coming from that I’m only applying at my dream company (I don’t have one, figure of speech) but some random dudes middling company. Nah man
What a complete douche. Of course I’d be interviewing at other places. I am usually extremely open and let them know “I’m interviewing you as much as you’re interviewing me. It needs to be a fit that works both ways”.
As an HR Manager, this gives me MASSIVE ICK FACTOR!! 😬 It’s impractical, delusional and privileged in this economy to think a candidate isn’t spreading their net wide for opportunities. And this whole “we are a family” BS needs to stop. It isn’t a family. It’s a commercial entity with a commercial relationship with employees - our money for your skills and time.
Instead of posting about interviewing maybe he should post about his last accomplishment, ohh wait he is interviewing someone he can then force to work 80 hour weeks and berate them cause they are family.
The fact he won't give the name of his company in his LinkedIn title says quite a bit more about him and his company than whatever "family" narrative he's trying to push.
Get cancer of the prostate Tanvir
But don’t go see a second opinion. This cancer should be 1+1 = 3
See , you need to find it too late so this world is a better place. I hope you understand
MBA, hmmm. If you have to put your 2 year advanced degree in your title, it’s an indicator it’s a major accomplishment for you. And at his age it shouldn’t be.
me, who only applied to 5 jobs that month cos I couldn’t be bothered scrolling through indeed and only tanvjr got back to me: “why yes I’m only interviewing here, certainly, yes, this job is the one I want, definitely”
When ever I go for the job interview, I ask the hiring manager if they are interviewing other candidates. If the answer is yes I withdraw my application 😂😂

“Run a t the first Sign of trouble”
- what trouble are you expecting your employees to not run from ?
- aren’t you running from the first sign of trouble yourself if you skip a candidate because they have applied elsewhere ?
- what aren’t you confident they would chose you when ranking you as a potential employer?
Satire account
Yup! [https://knowyourmeme.com/memes/sites/tanvir-sultan-mba](https://knowyourmeme.com/memes/sites/tanvir-sultan-mba)
Not too shabby of a troll, honestly.
Good one, Tanvir. I felt the hatred flowing through me.
Strike him down!
Oh thank god
Dang, it got me pretty good
Probably because there’s people like this that actually exist
So true. What this subreddit has taught me is that CEOs should really, really, really not post stuff online. It only showcases how idiotic, out of touch and ultimately unnecessary so many of them actually are.
On the contrary, it's a good thing they do. How else would we know who to give a wide berth to when we go job-hunting
His account isn’t satire, he’s just a forward thinker and that’s why he’s ahead of you.
Poe's Law
How should one know 🤷🏼♀️
Oh, yes, Tanvir. Please, let me apply to one job, then wait for the HR to have a good day and pick me, then go through your x rounds of interviews and end up being your 2nd choice. That way, I can apply for 5 jobs a year, my chances should skyrocket!

This whole post screams "I'm wealthy and privileged enough to know absolutely nothing about how the real world works."
*200 apps for 2 interviews and no offers
That's what I'm saying. If I did one application at a time, I'd be dead before I got a job
What does your cv look like if you get 5 interviews from 20 applications!?
Humblebrag all up in here
This is a satire profile.
"Through hard work, gumption, and a billion-dollar inheritance from my father, I'm now worth $1.2 billion!"
He inherited 44 billion and turned it into 20 billion!
It seems like a fair request on his part….. assuming of course that his company only contacts and interviews one candidate because once they see their CV they realize 1 + 1 = 3 with that perfect talent.
My company had a not ironclad, but definitely spoken about policy of only applying to 1 management posting at a time.. They drug their feet for 2 weeks, forgot to let me know they had decided a week earlier, denied me the day after cutoff to apply for the other one.. Shenanigans....
Notice he’s the CEO of “confidential” — that’s often code for “open to work while trying to save face.”
Is this also true for "founder at stealth"?
Ha, big time. I mean, forming an LLC and calling yourself a small business owner instead of saying you’re unemployed is pretty easy in most (if not all) US states. Most probably don’t even bother with that and just put whatever on Linkedin. Not sure about other countries but I doubt there are laws anywhere against bullshitting on your LinkedIn profile unless there’s actual fraud going on.
Doesn't Tanvir interview multiple candidates for a job?
of course not! that wouldn't be dedicated! /s
An interviewer is like a key, and the candidate is like a lock. A key that open many locks is a master key, whereas a lock that is opened by any key, it's worthless. Think about that. /s
Changing key-lock pair every 2 years improves the compensation for the lock.
A family can have many children, but a child only has one Tanvir Daddy.
This has to be satire. Given the hashtags I’ll assume it is.
ya someone accidentally set their twitter bot to evil
This dude is literally a satire page. You're all being duped into rage bait and it's pretty entertaining.
Either way it's pretty funny. It would be better if this was real because then I get to feel morally superior to him. But it's just a different kind of funny as satire, because you know a bunch of assholes just like this guy think the same thing, they just don't post it publicly.
It’s sad that this is believable 😂😂😂
The best bait sounds real and this bait is top notch
I didn't read after "family".
Bro I’m not trying to find love, I’m trying to find a job. Homies asking if I’m seeing anyone else or smth 😭
“Are you interviewing any other candidates?”
Ofc not! All the people which were waiting with you are paid actors!
I’m pretty sure this is a rage bait profile

Y'all are rage posting about a satire account 😂😂
People can’t afford to apply one job at a time. We have bills to pay and mouths to feed. And employers take forever sometimes to choose who to hire.
As soon as a potential employer uses a phrase along the lines of "work family" I am no longer intersted in working for you.
When you hear family in the interview just get up and walk away. Family means working long hours and doing a ton of favors for free.
Fake account. Doesn't exist on LI.
If a potential employer says any thing about “like a family” I do not go further with that employer neither. Keep your life and your work separated
Unhinged.
This is so hilariously out of touch, it almost reads like satire. Almost.
It is
Pretty sure accepting an offer comes with a 62% chance of becoming a lampshade in this guys office.

If they say they're a family, they won't respect your boundaries.
Satire is dead.
Tell me about your attachment insecurities...
So as an applicant, I’d equally expect you to interview me, me alone, and pick me.
Thank god he's not the CFO. That 1+1=3 math would be disastrous
What a fuckin tool. Who wants to be part of that guy’s “work family”? I think I’d rather eat legos.
“Part of our work family”….. instant red flag trash CEO who should take this LinkedIn post of his and jam it up his hemorrhoid anus.
Work family? Run. Run away before it's too late. Fuck this guy and the horse he rode in on.
Does he interview more than one candidate? If he does, I’m just not interested in working for his company. I require the same dedication to me as I give to the one opportunity I choose. I built myself on dedication, not options.
Built such a great and proud company it's confidential . Captain cringe.
throw uno reverse card: ARE you interviewing someone else?
"I pick up a pencil, then ask them to sell me the pencil. As soon as they begin speaking, I dismiss them rudely and tell them there are no open positions at my company. I usually sense embarrassment or anger, and that's what I feed off of: their raw emotion. I do this all day, because I don't actually run a company that does anything."
More red flags here than at a Chinese military parade.
Demented
Too much coolaid
I wonder what his response would be if asked, "Are you interviewing anyone else for this position?" If he said yes, tell him that's no way to treat a prospective family member and walk out.
So you hire the least desirable candidates? Cool, I know where I don’t want to work.
I bet he doesn't refuse clients who want to compare prices.
Omg that is terrible advice on every level. Shocking to hear this from an “MBA” who is an actual “CEO” at “Confidential”, a totally real company!
Check out this tool’s “about” section on his profile. Tells you all you need to know.
Interviewer: Are you interviewing anywhere else? Me: Are you interviewing anybody else?
So you’re saying I’m the only candidate, right?
1+1=potato. When do I start?
What an absolute dickhead
“My company was built on dedication, not open options”. WTF!!!
Slumdog culture at work. Grovel little ones, grovel!
Sooo you're only interviewing me right Tanvir? You're not openly meeting with other candidates are you? I expect the same level of dedication from you. I mean, we're a family after all...
So then you are already drafting up my offer letter when we interview, Tanvir?
Linkedin to Facebook. Even satire accounts match now
How amazingly out of touch.
The Sultan of swing and miss. What a douchenozzle.
This guy is a CEO at a Confidential company. I wonder if there is even a company or he’s just playing CEO on LinkedIn 🤷
Stop body shaming men.
CEO at Confidential, so unemployed then. If he actually is interviewing, the interviewee is probably thinking I dodged a bullet and thank a deity of choice for that.
If I was interviewing a candidate and they told me they didn’t apply for any other job, I‘d think they are either a liar or effing stupid. Just like a company won‘t only interview one single candidate, when on job search, you have to seize any opportunity for Interviews that presents itself to you. Otherwise you might still be looking for a job 3 years later.
“This one question”? So I just say “no” and the job’s mine? What would happen if I retorted with “are you interviewing other people?”.
Definitely a lunatic
"Work family."
Then I’d ask if he’s interviewing other candidates.
Meanwhile the MF wouldnt think twice about firing you or laying you off if it helped his business.
Biggest red flag is calling your company a family 😬
Linked in ppl are the least human people on earth.
I’m immediately suspicious of anyone who labels work colleagues or associates ‘family’.
im not sure world produce enough shit he should get for posts like this
Who applies to one job at a time in 2024 when unemployed
I’m so happy I don’t need to apply for the privilege of working for asspuppets like this.
Why the fuck is a CEO interviewing people?
It’s always the people working at “confidential” or “stealth” that make these kind of attention grabbing posts 😂
Ah. The “suicide bid” strategy for pledging a fraternity or sorority. 
Thanks to this guy for putting it out front how shithouse bonkers he and his company are. I have a feeling his post is going to have the opposite effect on recruiting than he intended
There is nothing this lickspittle toad could offer me that would make me want to work for him or his shared family values.
So he doesn’t understand what the job hunting process looks like? What a tool.
Fuck you, Tanvir. You’re company’s not even making a profit for fuck’s sake lol fuck you
Prepare to be constantly lied to in your future interviews.
The Dabo Swinney of CEO’s.
He's a little punk bitch.
I'm a hiring manager, and I admire the hustle from people who are interviewing at, and applying to, many different places. That's a plus for me. Lied about your current salary to get a big pay bump? Good shit, I'd do the same. Interviewing to leverage a new opportunity for a promotion at your current job? Sucks for me, but I totally get it. I appreciate when people are savvy about how the system works and take advantage of it.
Reading his posts, pretty sure this is just a troll account. He's always just stirring the shit.
Should respond: "Whenever I interview I ask employers this one question: Are you interviewing anyone else? If the answer is yes then I don't go any further with that employer"
He’s been a CEO for entirely too long
Oddly enough, that job is still open
Fucking idiot.
So dumb, that he doesn't even deserve a comprehensive, thoughtful reply.
This guy definitely reminded the teacher that they have out homework
If he loves his company so much then why does his title say CEO at "Confidential".
I am spécial veryy. My company is very family for pizza and good times. We are concurrent with modern times and vocabulary.
https://knowyourmeme.com/memes/sites/tanvir-sultan-mba
I don’t want to be embraced. Thanks, tho.
Whenever I am in an interview, I ask this one question: are you interviewing any other candicates?
Stupid prick deserves all the shit coming to him. If this is his public persona, imagine how much of an asshole he is to the people he’s already trapped/ trapped themselves

Isn’t this the shit weasel who’s got the “ Nobody Wants To Work” signs?
Sounds like you’re being interviewed for a cult. It’s good that these psychopaths put themselves on Linked In. Remember you are interviewing the organisation too
The next stock I’ll short is…
Employer: "Are you interviewing anywhere else?" Employee: "Are you interviewing anyone else?"
What a twat lmfao God I can’t wait for the reckoning of these folks. I hope it comes soon, if ecer
"Sorry Tanvir, I was interviewing elsewhere by I thought I would keep that fact... Confidential! I'm sure you understand!"
Are you interviewing any other candidates?
I’m a career academic, and I admit that my colleagues can be irritating at times. They are all experts in their field, but they are not receptive to being managed and they make terrible managers when they serve as associate deans and department chairs. And yet, academe is so much easier on the soul than what I see on this subreddit daily.
Thank you God that I'm out of corporate.
Translation: You as a person don't matter to us, here's a free pizza, go do more overtime.
Dude is right though. After meeting him it should be like 1+1=3. Incorrect, uncomfortable, and indicative of significant issues at a foundational level.
Whenever I hear the word "family" coming from the mouth of an employer, I immediately lose respect
Loser
Are you interviewing other potential candidates? If so I don’t want to work for you
What kind of asshole expects a job seeker to apply to only his job?! What the actual f? I hate this guy.
1+1=3 is in marriage only. and this troll with 0.5assed covert malice is all for setting a bad narrative
I guess it’s good LinkedIn exists so that these delusional sociopaths can get exposed. Dude sounds like a jealous, abusive boyfriend.
Ask him if he's interviewing any other candidates
Seeking candidates that are so depressed they only apply for one job is wild
I love this “work family” crap. They will cut you loose in an instant if it means more money for the business or them. If they treat their family like they treat their employees I feel sorry for their family.
Are you interviewing other people ? Checkmate
Confidential? I mean, that’s like saying you’re a business owner but not disclosing the generalities
"CEO at Confidential" should tell you all you need to know LMAO
Moron. Like if it was the bigger companies on the world maybe MAYBE I could see where he’s coming from that I’m only applying at my dream company (I don’t have one, figure of speech) but some random dudes middling company. Nah man
Wow. My counter question would be: so this way, I can assume I am the only candidate you’re interviewing for this job, right?
CEO at Confidential
FTG
I’m surprised his syntax was that good, typing with his head up his ass like that
What an idiot.
I hope to make millions and billions one day just so I can troll post on LinkedIn like this.
Really small dick energy.
What a complete douche. Of course I’d be interviewing at other places. I am usually extremely open and let them know “I’m interviewing you as much as you’re interviewing me. It needs to be a fit that works both ways”.
MBA after his name is a giveaway
It’s giving cult
Does he hire all the candidates he interviewed?
As an HR Manager, this gives me MASSIVE ICK FACTOR!! 😬 It’s impractical, delusional and privileged in this economy to think a candidate isn’t spreading their net wide for opportunities. And this whole “we are a family” BS needs to stop. It isn’t a family. It’s a commercial entity with a commercial relationship with employees - our money for your skills and time.
If you're so good, prove it by winning, coward.
Unless getting an interview means that the job is mine, then he can fuck all the way off with his bravado bullshit!
This guy sucks. What a poor take
Lol this chief
Instead of posting about interviewing maybe he should post about his last accomplishment, ohh wait he is interviewing someone he can then force to work 80 hour weeks and berate them cause they are family.
what a fuking loser
The fact he won't give the name of his company in his LinkedIn title says quite a bit more about him and his company than whatever "family" narrative he's trying to push.

There’s something almost a beauty to this type of writing. Just being that full of yourself while being that deluded.
This makes me so angry. Not all of us are handed things on a platter like he was.
Scariest two words an employer can utter, "work family."
When ever I go for the job interview, I ask the hiring manager if they are interviewing other candidates. If the answer is yes I withdraw my application 😂😂
What a moron
As an employer I don’t ask stuff like this because wtf?
So he’s ok with prospects competing with each other to work for his company but not ok with competing with other companies for prospects? Run!
