Can I use iPad during the online case interview? I believe I can, but afraid interviewer might think I'm cheating, like listing some info or use calculator. What do you think using electronics on Zoom interview?

What are you using the iPad for ….. if not cheating ….

*im assuming you’re taking the interview on your laptop, so the iPad is a secondary device*

If you’re using it for notes, just be safer and use pen/paper.

I wouldn’t. Even if you’re not cheating, why introduce that thought into your interviewer’s mind?

I just prefer ipad to note/pen. Have used it for notes, laptop for screen.
Thanks guys

Go for it. I’ve always had an iPad and a pen/paper and told them - “I wrote down some questions I’d like to ask” or, “I’m gonna take some note as you go along”

Just let them what you’re doing. They should be okay with it. I’d be and i’ve interviewed before.

I was hired on with a company at the same time as my male coworker. We work the exact position, different projects.
I asked him flat out what his salary was when he hired on. His salary is at minimum 15% more. He’s never had a raise.
Neither one of us had any experience in this specific position but he didn’t even have experience in the field, which I did.
I requested a performance and salary review because it’s my annual review time anyway. Best way to address this? Also applying elsewhere.

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?

Would love to get your input on this but how do you guys feel about consulting, especially with a STEM background?
