I was asked that same idiotic question once. My reply was “I get up around seven. Get outta bed around nine. I don’t worry about nothin’ no, ‘cause worryin’s a waste of my, time.” 🤘

My response to this: “I’m not here to make a pretty picture. If you want that, you can hire someone cheaper than me. I’m here to solve a business problem and I work with strategy, account, and my partner to do that. How I do it depends on what the client needs."

I hate this question and was recently caught by surprise with it for the first time. It depends on the project right? Like...what do they want to hear?

I think I've got one job after an interview. I hear a dumbass question like this and the look on my face says "oh screw you and btw none of your business." Just bring me in. Let me do the job freelance. Then they'll hire me. Sorry for the rant but I hate those questions.

Had an interview today, for RN OnCall position. This is an extremely difficult position, but I bring not only a preference to work the hours they need but the experience and credentials to qualify for the upper range of the salary (RN, MSN, CHPN, 5 years hospice experience). I asked for the range and he gave the range then immediately stated that I would qualify for mid range. My goal is to find a similar position to the one I’m working now and add 20-30% to my income, the high range would meet

Hi Fishes
I want to share very bad experience I had at
Mastercard
I was given offer by Mastercard in month of Dec The hike was less but looking at brand & other perks I accepted the offer & was looking forward to joining them.I got few offers & I went back to them for sole purpose of renegotiating CTC, to have a industry standard hike. They didn't reverted back for 2-3 days & just dropped a mail that they are revoking initial offer as well on grounds that they didn't like i gave other interview
