A company I'm interviewing with refused to budge on their initial offer. They basically said the terms are final. Is this a sign they’ll be rigid about everything once I'm hired?

It might just mean the budget is capped. How much more did you ask for?

Seems like a stretch of correlation. Depends where that initial offer was. Them coming with the strongest they can give is a great sign. If it were at the lower end of the range, not be a good sign.

Not necessarily. Inflexibility about an offer could just be a budget constraint thing. It has no real bearing on their willingness to be flexible about things like PTO, working from home, etc. I wouldn't let this keep me from accepting if the offer is solid even without any wiggle room.

Not necessarily. It might just mean they are tight on budget for the role

If they have a budget - maybe it’s them being up front. But also sounds strict.

Just want to cry out here.🙃

I'm not good at my tech stack. I've somehow managed to perform all my tasks without any escalation/blunders but that also by some help/googling.
I also managed to switch from an Indian mnc to a reputed company and now also somehow cleared a FAANG interview,but i know I'm not much knowledgeable in my tech .

I often fail at some interviews badly.
Not sure till when I'll be able to carry forward by this and the hard wlb at FAANG companies is giving me a fear.

Did a first interview with hr rep, went very well. she set up the hiring manager meeting for a few days later. Met with the manager. Another great conversation, went over time and was told I’d hear back about panel set up. Following day I get a request from hr rep to “continue the conversation” with manager. This is set up Tuesday.
Why do you think the manager wants to meet again? Good? Bad? I felt great about the interview when we ended.

Had my virtual on-site for an S&O L3 role 3.5 weeks ago (NYC, 5 YOE). I haven’t heard back on a decision yet, and was wondering how long it typically takes? I also know that I was one of the very first candidates to interview for this specific role, and there are atleast 2 more people scheduled for onsites. Does the recruiter typically wait for all candidates to finish their onsites before communicating a decision? Or if I haven’t heard back yet, it’s probably a reject?
