Do you think it is a red flag if a position has been open between 2 to 3 months? I had an interview few weeks ago, and this position is still open. Does this mean the recruiter can't make a decision yet or have not seen a better applicant? Is this a warning that the job itself will be full of problems? Recruiters, what makes a position still open even after interviews?

Under normal conditions that might be a problem, but in today's economy that seems to be a common scenario. A lot of organizations are being very careful about hiring, and just generally hesitant to add anyone to the payroll. If we go into a recession this year I imagine a lot of positions will just remain open.

Thank you for this input, and I can see why positions are open, the recession is making everyone run on a strict budget.

It could be that the position had to be put on hold for a period of time and they couldn't hire for it. It might be a red flag but it might not. I would probably go ahead and apply and see what happens.

With the happenings right now in the job market, there are definitely a lot of factors affecting hiring, for someone who is actively looking for a job, I'd also go on and apply, who knows I might be the applicant they have been looking for.

In this market when I see some like that, I assumed that they forgot to take off the posting. Hiring is quick these days

Hi, anyone ever try using a ovulation test as a positive result for pregnancy test? I had an LH surge couple of weeks back and for the past few days my breasts are tender and I am having some taste aversions like yesterday yoghurt tasted like mud. Since my cycle is irregular I took another ovulation test today morning and it came back positive. This is my first time going through this and I am confused as to what is going on. Can I take a pregnancy test middle of the day?

AWS vs Cloudflare BDR roles

AWS lowballed but I negotiated to match Cloudflare. Cloudflare offers more equity but AWS has a higher base.

I love Cloudflare. The people are great but it’s an engineering culture and the sales team isn’t as well shaped up and I can’t go for a promotion until at least 18 months of tenure. I am an investor in the company and think of them super highly. I’ve already got half a years SDR experience and AWS promotes quicker.

AWS has prestige but is it worth it?
