In relation to questions, not much has changed over the years. Hiring managers may ask about specific skills and problem solving.

I started interviewing early Oct with a company that reached out via recruiter. The hiring manager was very straight forward with me that I was his top candidate and I was told all other interviews were very positive incl CMO. The recruiter said they'd be making an offer but it's now been three weeks. Anyone else had the process drag on like this? Meanwhile I'm taking other interviews and was offered a promotion at current company, but was very interested in this one. What would you do?

Anyone else finding it very difficult to get any enjoyment out of account management these days? Any coping tips?

I feel like I spend every week counting down to the weekend which kinda sucks.
