Define “EOD” for deliverables. Go!
If there’s no system enforced deadline, for me, it’s before the other person wakes up the next day... 😅

Yeah I’m theory it’s before you go to bed. Realistically should be no later than 3am tho. EOD in consultant speak means, “you’re not reading this until tomorrow”

This. End of day is end of day. End of business of close of business means 5 pm (hc industry, most people are out by 430)

11:59 pm, but realistically I expect to get a heads up if it’s keeping someone up past 9p!

Before the client reads their email the next morning :p

7 am the next day

Midnight

How frequently do they respond to emails? Before then.

It depends on why you need it. I read it as “it should be in my inbox when I open my email tomorrow”

I’ve had several great interviews with a few diff companies. Or rather, I thought they went well but then I get the dreaded “thanks but we made the difficult decision to move forward with other candidates”. I’ve asked for feedback but so far have gotten none.

I know it’s competitive out there, but I also don’t know how I can either position myself better, seek positions that are more aligned with my expertise/experience, or work on improving certain areas.

Any advice on how to proceed?

My criteria: mesh seat and back, arms, headrest

I tried cheap ones from Amazon. Expensive, second hand gaming chairs. Tried HM Aeron (second hand) and while I didn't like the bulk and the general design, I was sold on the mesh seating. I wanted to get the ErgoChair 2 from autonomous, but it doesn't have mesh seat.
