Yes, especially if it’s a well-respected school

Yup thanks D1

Definitely helps with networking and getting a referral. Going to target schools is a big plus in this respect, but definitely not a must.

If you haven’t gone to a masters program, yes 100% it helps

Does where you get your masters degree matter? I’m in an online environmental science masters program at an expensive “name-brand” school, but have colleagues telling me I should transfer to a less expensive program to save $ because no one cares about where your degree is from. Aside from the cost of it, I like my program, and the fact that I’m now connected to an incredible alumni network. And not gonna lie, I like the clout. Thoughts?

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.

Also, do interviewers still appreciate a hand written thank you for the interview?

I have given interview for CGI. One round of technical interview took place . There is no further communication from H.R.

I recently interviewed with Natwest and I got confirmation that they wanted to offer a role. Salary negotiations were started. However, now I got an email from the hiring manager that hiring for my role has been paused due to the ongoing cost of living crisis. He expects to resume the hiring for the role in Q1 '23 and would resume the process then. So is it the end? Honestly, I don't expect him to come back. But what do you think?
