Current company uses MacBooks and Google workspace (gmail, docs, etc) and I’m now applying for external roles. I am guessing quite a few of these companies are using PCs and MS Office.

Just got out of one of my final round interviews. It’s been over 8 weeks of prep. Got a little nervous and may have messed up on the case, PEI went okay. Have the other later this week. Trying to focus on that but difficult knowing how this performance would impact the outcome. Has this happened to anyone and they ended up getting offers? Searching for success stories or tips.
