Yes, if it falls within work hours. For weekend and after hour stuff, I use Google calendar. Both send notifications on my phone, so no issues tracking.

Recruiter rescheduled a call thrice and then stood me up. They reached out after the call apologized with a non apology (thought our call was x pm instead…) and then proceeded to ask if I am available for a call.

Should I tell them I am no longer interested or not burn the bridge and take the call?

One of the reasons I want to transition from industry to consulting (tier 1) is that I get frustrated when I have to collaborate with mediocre people. My assumption is that Tier 1 consulting firms hire really sharp people and if I can get in, I’ll be collaborating with folks on top of their game (not expecting much from clients). I’m aware there are personal aspects I need to work on like my mindset, patience etc etc, but I just get so frustrated with blatant stupidity.
