What are you actually interviewing for? No two companies and interviews are the same and what makes you "send out" in one might not for another. That being said, I say be yourself. If it's a good fit, you'll know.

Hello! I recently applied for the Inside Digital Sales Rep position at VMware about two weeks ago. I have been told by friends that work there that I should have heard back within a week. Does anyone know an accurate timeframe on when I should hear back? Or if there is a good recruiting person I should talk to? Thank you for your time!

I am interviewing for a new IT Manager position. I started putting out soft feelers and then hit the hunt harder. The problem: I have one offer and need to give an answer by next Wednesday. I have two other opportunities that are in final steps but probably won’t have offers by next Wednesday. Both of the other offers will be higher pay but clearly are uncertain for offers. Do I accept the offer I have, which is a good one or wait for the other two to finalize and possibly miss out altogether?

This is my first job in a large corporate company, and I’m trying to gauge how long it normally takes to move from entry level to another internal position in the insurance industry.

I am a top performer, with great metrics, and I have some wonderful connections I’ve made who support me. I just can’t seem to move up. How long did it take you to move up? How many tries did it take?

Hi fishes! Nagarro declined the counter offer letter ₹33,00,000 + shares worth 4.5LPA

I've 6+ yrs experience (mobile dev.)

Nagarro offered 18LPA. Initially I told HR for 22 but he mentioned 18 into their internal portal to their senior so after clearing all interview rounds I got 18.

When I asked the HR, he told me to accept it for now and bring the counter offer letter so they can revise offer letter.

But now they declined. Weird.

Is this standard practice for a LCSW position in a clinic?

Hearing a lot about a recession happening at EOY. I am currently at Dell and have only been there for 7 months amd hate it. Had final interviews with Meta and Amazon this week. Would it be smart to move to either of these companies knowing a recession is coming?

What happens if I decide to take a full scope or be willing but after I join the company or project I get cold feet and decide not to? Do I just get let go or have dire consequences? I am being pushed by recruiter to get a FS but I am not sure. The backlog is huge though so maybe I throw the dice and learn a lot then leave before I need to if at that point I am not 100% in it?

Thanks
