Any HR from Optum reached out to you again when you faced this situation? When I gave the round 1 interview in Optum the deputy manager of acquisition told me that the position was on hold. They said would reach out to you once the position gets clear.

This happened to me today. After successfully clearing all the interview rounds, the HR team informed me that the position I applied for has been put on hold. It’s incredibly frustrating to face this outcome after investing so much time and energy into the interview process.

General advice - you know your situation and comfort with uncertainty. Personally, if I were in this situation, I would move on - Optum is not the world. Plenty of other jobs in healthcare or other industry.

Yes, the same thing I did I moved on but asked anyone who faced this situation and later reached out or not. I thought the other candidate was best suited to the role. This is wrong they have to wait until the interview clears and need to give importance to the first candidate.

I’ve been thinking about this for awhile now, but it is very to commit to actually accept a new job offer since I really do love my job. My only complaint is, the pay vs workload is very small. I’m a manager now and my property offered me a director position… but the salary is still low! To make six figures, it’ll take another 5-6 years to grind it out.

Should I move on and go to a different industry? Opinions are welcome! Thanks in advance.

I have recently received an offer from HSBC for Data Engineer profile. The designation offered is Senior Analyst- Information Management. They said that it is a techno functional role.

Will this role be suitable for me?

Any suggestion is highly appreciated. Thank you.

I’ve had radio silence from a small investment bank for about a week now. I’ve completed several rounds of interviews, but last Thursday the firm reposted the job I’ve been interviewing for. On Friday the headhunter said that they’re not sourcing new candidates and it’s probably just LinkedIn automatically refreshing the listing. She said they had a busy week last week but will make a final decision this week - is the delay and radio silence a bad sign or is this typical for experienced hiring?

So I have been made an offer by a company I like but it’s pretty similar to my current package (I also like where I am). The recruiter is pretty intense and is pitting me against another candidate but says I’m the number one choice and is asking me for a number to say yes “but not too high or the team will look at the other candidate”
I’m close to send them to get stuffed. I’m also awaiting a promo and interview feedback from Google. Any advice?
