Can anyone share their experience taking an Excel take home assessment test during the interview process?

This is for a more senior position at a Strategic Finance/Corp Dev role at a Software co that requires heavy Excel usage.

It’s now been about a month since I cold applied to all big 4 firms for upcoming winter internships. I’ve tried reaching out to some of the recruiters in the area I applied for but no response. Is this white flag territory or is there still hope? And if it’s the ladder is there anything I can do to speed up the process or is it just a waiting game.

I made it to the final interview round. I asked what the next steps were and the recruiter told me she would “keep me posted.” It’s been 2 weeks since. Should I reach out again? Or wait...

Does anyone have any tips on how to reach out to a recruiter? Is it weird to just email someone I found online with my resume?

Been at a “top 5” agency for 2 years now and haven’t produced a single piece of work that I feel is book worthy. Granted, there is the whole global pandemic thing. But at what point do you start looking for a new job? Is 2 years long enough to at least get some cred for the name on the resume, despite not making anything great?

Hi ZSers, is EBl round the final round at ZS
for BTAC profile coz it was the only round I
had after my written test. If yes when can I
expect to hear back from hiring team?

A report opened to me that they are having money problems and wants a raise. We are remote and they moved to a high CoL city. We gave an increase to help with retention 6mths ago. In my response, I helped mentor with best practices on how to ask for a raise professionally since I need to make a case to my Head on finances. But their performance has been avg and not seemingly worthy of another large raise within a short period of time. But how do I respond when they talk about personal finances?

Who has the best parental leave policies? Need advice

The older I get and the more I think about raising my own children, I keep thinking how can parents frame religious duties like fasting as something to look forward to. I think volunteering as a family can help install the value of giving back and zakaat. How can one make Ramadan and Eid something to look forward to when holidays like Christmas seem to be purely joyous occasion that one doesn’t have to put in work for like fasting for Ramadan?
