Sometimes yeah.. Idea of that question is can you lay out the math equation needed to answer the question.. And then ask for what’s missing (which is what happens in client situations)

I believe they’re going away from this because they found it creates bias in favor of people from more assertive cultures/backgrounds. Not 100% sure though

No. This isn’t 20 questions.

I can’t promise it never happens but it’s very contrary to the spirit of the interview training we get

That’s what I thought, the coaching seminars don’t mention it either

About rolling off my project with no new project opportunity yet. I’m already getting anxious and can’t have a full night rest with the worry of not finding a project soon and eventually getting laid off. Although I tend to stress-out easily but this type of anxiety is different. Are others feeling the same way? Also over 90% chargeability and great reviews, but seems like that may not matter with the recent layoff stories I’ve read....

Offer from AMZN @ 160 TC, just got promo @ D to M, comp statements don't come out until first week in June. Would probably stay if comp came in equal or slightly above. What are the chances?

Was hoping AMZN would be higher but they pegged the role a lvl lower than originally discussed during the process...so here we are.

Not sure if I should play my hand and push for more to stay or if they will just say "wait 5 weeks or here is the door"
