To me, maybe I’m lucky, but I got exactly what I wanted
I interviewed with 4 people (2 senior managers, 2 managers), and I got the ability to rank them from 1-4 post interview.
A few days later I get the call that 3 of the 4 want me, and I get to choose, as apparently they all included different offers (only slightly, something around a 5k difference between them).

The number 1 I put is the manager I started with day one, I’m happy since he’s been just as great as he was in my interview

...project that didn't interview me?

This is my story, could be different from person to person:

I was supposed to start right on a project, we lost the work so I never got onboarded but before starting I did all the paperwork to on board.

Week 3 at firm I asked what gives, they told me what went down. I went to the bench and did nothing for a couple months. Now at USPS

I was recently offered a Zoom interview. The school had 10 interview slots for me to choose from. Three were one day this week and the rest are next week. I chose the first time slot available. Should I have waited until one of the last slots so I was fresher on their mind when choosing a candidate? I am just sitting here stressing out until I here something. Also, do interviewers still appreciate a hand written thank you for the interview?

Hi all,
I’m currently working for a small technical consulting start-up firm. I make good money, have great benefits, and they seem very happy with the work I’m doing, so I know I could move up quickly. However, tech consulting is definitely not my dream job. I want to get into data analytics, and I have an offer from a big company to do just that. I’ve only been at my current company for about 8 months, but I don’t ever see myself loving this job. How do I know when it’s time to make a change?
