Just put on Google drive and post the link. Not sure why you are even asking. If this needs to be cited put it on the top as a term.

Wipro.com | Multiple roles - Software - AI - FDE - Cloud | Global (US/CAN/EU/India) | on-site and remote

My company is hiring for multiple roles, and I'd like to offer internal referrals to qualified candidates from this community. I'm doing this purely because we need great talent—I don't benefit personally from referrals. If you're interested, feel free to send a brief introduction to contact info in my profile. I'll follow up with my company email to discuss the opportunity further.

Performance and costs aside, the fact that they suspend your account with Zero reasons given, zero care for the appeal process, and don’t even have a broken archive download process should make everyone question whether they deserve their money or can be a reliable provider or not.

Interesting concept! Do you also work with scouts?
My Claude AI account got suspended with zero response to my appeal request (despite the promise of 10 days) and even their backup download features doesn’t not work!

Let alone getting banned out right with no reason, zero updates after weeks, and not even being able to download your chat history (despite the feature being available (I assume they vibe coded it and it does not work!). My story below;

Love to see fellow Torontonian working on such great project. Let me know if you'd like to connect IRL.
It's been almost 3 weeks since my Claude account has been suspended with ZERO explanation. They initially gave an appeal review timeline of 10 days which has long passed and again no accountability or even an estimated date. Please be careful putting your trust and professional life on such tools! More details below;

I love this! I wish we had more challenges like this on the subject as a gamified way of practicing and sharpening skills. Good job!

I love this! I always wanted to build something like this and I'm glad it exists. Is this something you built or you are just posing it?
Fair point, but banning someone without explaining why — especially on a tool essential to professionals — is indefensible. The broken appeal process just makes it worse.
The home page and screenshots look very slick! Congrats on the launch and happy to have a chat with you to provide feedback.
I have been unable to use my subscription due to a similar issue since last week and still have not heard on the appeal decision. See my story below;

Well said. Especially as having access to frontier models become so essential to work (and even some aspects of daily life!).
Before you put your entire life in danger of being dependent on Anthropic products, please review my personal horror story and be very careful;

I especially hate it when there is absolutely zero recourse! In some cases you can go to the competition and in some you have no other option because some aspects of the service is setup as a monopoly or high friction exit process. I’m personally against any black box decision making that would disrupt someone’s life in any way.
I’ve been waiting for days for an appeal decision on a suspension that I have zero clue on why it happened! I’m trying very hard not to hate Anthropic right now!

Whatever external (none-local) provider you use make sure to have backup plans. My horror story is below;

None-US Claude users: beware if used Fable – account suspension experience

On Wednesday June 17 I woke up at 6:48 AM (Eastern) local time to an email from Anthropic with the subject: “Your account has been suspended.” It basically says an internal investigation of “suspicious signals” indicates I may be in violation of a supported country policy, and that they revoked my access to Claude. It was followed by two more emails at the exact same time, stating the same...

Re:Ask HN: Who is hiring? (May 2026) on Friday May 01, 2026 @12:21PM (#47976571)
Consider applicants from Canada? I'm a perfect fit for this role!
Can you point to the specific skills and also break down what each does? A video demo would also be great on the setup and results.

If you’re building something in this space I’d be open to have a call to share my experience owning a couple of companies.
Hey, this is very interesting. Do you mind sending me an email? I'd like to connect for a potential project. Email in profile.
