Hello there. I have been interviewing with Okta and got through all 5 rounds of interviews. They say they want to offer me the job but there is a global freeze for all marketing roles at the company. They want to offer me a contractor role instead. Does anyone here know if that is the case? I haven't heard anything as they seem be on wellness week. Thanks for any guidance :)

Hi everyone, I’m looking for some post-interview advice. I had an interview last week that went really well. I emailed a thank you to the partners who were in my interview along with writing samples per their request, to which the managing partner responded, “let’s touch base Monday.” I didn’t hear back yesterday and am wondering whether it’s appropriate for me to follow up and if so, how do I word it? Or do I continue to wait? I want to show interest but not come off too aggressive. Many TIA!

I am working in automotive embedded c++ software industry. Working for a leading supplier. YOE5. Wherever I join or interview candidates from competitors, nobody has real development experience. Everyone is doing very limited development jobs. Same in my case, except during the startup phase in the beginning of my career. JDs were all great later but when I join, the code I write is very limited. Is it same across all SDE jobs in India.? I hope it is specific to embedded. Should I be concerned.?

At what point do you guys send your watch in for service? My Speedy still has 3 years left under warranty but it’s gaining like 20 seconds a day. I can live with it, worst case I pull it back a minute every few days, but who knows if something else is going on. Should I hold off a couple years and do it right before the warranty expires? Also how long have folks waited for Speedy service?

Would love some advice: I have a younger brother (17) who did his most influential years of high school remote. He has a fairly low gpa (below 3.0) and not many honors/APs, but my parents are saying community college is not an option. I have no idea how to help him with this process. How can I help? What should we do to position him for success? Is there anything we can do? We’re in the US already and his counselors have no guidance…

Evaluating an exit into Amazon as L6 product manager (TC: $225K) after 1 year at BCG. I want to work in tech/fintech long term. Questions:1) Is the work life balance better at Amazon, than BCG? Currently I'm averaging 70 hours a week. More than that, the pace is quite insane. Deliverables every couple of hours.2) Is the level of mentorship/coaching better at Amazon?3) Is the offer reasonable? Their upper max is 250k and I'm currently at 240, should I try to atleast get my current TC?
I'm in shock. I switched jobs less than a year ago, and just got my 3rd pay bump (almost doubling my TC in that time). I feel extremely lucky, but it's driving significant imposter syndrome. Are other companies making this many market adjustments? Is this normal now?

Lol @ H1!
On a serious note, I found Victor Cheng's Case Interview book very succinct and practical.
Also, McKinsey and many of the larger firms have sample cases and video tips. Check those out and work through solutions in your head.
At the end of the day, the interviewer wants to see someone that can calmly, concisely and clearly communicate a practical and reasoned solution.
Good luck!
