No, and if you're in the US and taking to a US company, it's not legal. Huge red flag if you get asked that.

This information is not illegal to ask, however federal law expressly prohibits employers from making employment decisions based on that information - so it should t be asked because it’s irrelevant.

That’s a red flag if they ask that

Nope. What did you say? And their follow up response?

I asked if that’s relevant for the position? That’s when they started talking about all the schooling benefits - I mean as an HR professional, I would think that they’d know how to phrase a question or include context if that’s what they mean..

Nope and I wouldn’t answer it as it isn’t legal to ask.

I applied to a job at KPMG and did the first two rounds of interviews, general interview, then case study and competency. Never before have I had such a positive feedback at the end of an interview of the 2nd, both said really like me, I did well etc.
It's now been 3 weeks since the interview and I still haven't heard back from the team other than the odd HR email saying they are following up with them. Is there something going on internally, I.e hiring freeze in the London office atm?

How far do you require depts be with negotiating commercial contract terms before your legal review?
