Yep, I did. Was actually a good thing. I got the job and we had a great working relationship. It ended up making the on-boarding much easier too. It's a great opportunity...gives you a glimpse as to what you might be in for (good or bad). As for advice, be confident but not cocky. Show them the you have the chops to handle whatever they might throw at you but that you're also willing to learn. You're interviewing them as much as they are interviewing you. Also, ask questions...turn the tables on them and get them to do the talking. Make it more of a conversation and bond with them.

Hello there. I have been interviewing with Okta and got through all 5 rounds of interviews. They say they want to offer me the job but there is a global freeze for all marketing roles at the company. They want to offer me a contractor role instead. Does anyone here know if that is the case? I haven't heard anything as they seem be on wellness week. Thanks for any guidance :)

Three job interviews with a company, last one creating a marketing plan and presenting to marketing VP. I received good feedback from him. Three days later recruiter wants to give me a call and “give an update”. Schedules it after 2 days. This morning cancels last minute as they are having “internal discussions”. I’m really annoyed and tired. Thoughts?

Looking for some advice.. Manager left, I was given their work. Promoted few months after, but not to the role of my previous manager. Rec opened, I applied, didn't get it. We hired the new person and in my hopes to offload some of that original work back to them. I was told I'm going to continue to do everything my previous manager was doing. I'm still not a product manager even tho my previous manager was and the new manager is. Applying to jobs and concerned my title is holding me back.
