Are they comfortable and confident without arrogance? People who exude stress and overwork are. And they will bring that to you everyday. Did they ask you the right questions? Did they listen or just wait to talk? Ask about what you want. What will make you happy. What you dislike. I’ve always found bosses who are super comfortable with themselves and confident in where they are and what they know who are concerned with keeping the people around them happy and fulfilled make the best bosses. Lateness happens. Reschedules happen. The other things are important.

If they talk about themselves the entire time, that might be a red flag. But if they want to talk about you the entire time, that’s a good sign they genuinely care about growing and developing talent. Not just being in charge

Ugh, just got rejected from a senior level big tech opportunity. 4 month hiring process, multiple rescheduled interview days and no-shows, 10+ interviews in the end, multiple take home assessments, and took 2 days off work for the final round of interviews. Very frustrating and feel like they wasted my time in the end. Just a shambolic interview process in which I felt like a placeholder till they found who they really wanted.

Is it true that companies just interview candidates for the sake of meeting a quota and then hire someone internally instead? Interviewed with Charles Schwab a while back and never heard anything. Interview went really well, at least that’s what I thought.

Hi Folks,

I'm actively looking for a job change in a profile completely different than what I'm doing currently.
My manager is sending me on-site and this will interrupt my interviews and preparation also.
And by that time if I receive any offer letter, I don't know what should I do?

Shall I reject the on site opportunity or go with it and reject the new offer?
