I once talked to a CCO on a Saturday after I had met the rest of the team during the week. It was honestly sort of nice. Felt more relaxed and conversational.

Ha...no.

I can’t say that’s giving the best sales pitch for whatever job they’re talking to you about.

Yes. And the job didn't turn out to be so great. That was the first of several times over a 6-week period that the company had unreasonable deadlines.

Ew. Run.

Not a recruiter, but an ECD reached out and we chatted during the weekend. Ended up officially interviewing and getting the job later.

Hey All,
I finished a third round interview, and HR contacted me that afternoon saying I had positive feedback across the board and they would contact me the next day regarding next steps. It’s been two days and they finally get back to me saying they haven’t been able to sync with the hiring manager but will keep me posted. Honestly I wish they would talk with the hiring manager and then let me know the decision instead of checking in. It’s messing with my emotions.

I got a call from KPMG HR for the role of Associate consultant in research team, When she asked me about the expected ctc, I think I quoted less than the market standards but since I am underpaid currently so the amount I quoted was 40-45% hike on my fixed. I have experience of 2.9years
Can anybody please suggest if I clear their interviews will they consider increasing CTC from whatever I quoted becase upon searching for ACon roles they pay much higher than what I quoted.
Please Help
