not much to it. first you sell yourself to the recruiter. if you convince them, then they’ll sell you to the manager and prep you for the interview. always ask what to expect in the interviews. talk to them after your interviews

Just backed out of a signed offer and I feel like shit. The new company was very delayed in issuing an offer letter (3 weeks from verbal) and approaching a month from background check. I missed kick off events and offered to visit happy hours, but they denied that request until after the start date (which had to be pushed back).

I feel I’m justified in reneging but the group lead did everything they could to recruit and move things along, so I feel bad. Here to vent.
