Has anyone experienced this? Applied for a job on LinkedIn, first contact with the company is to do a case study then interview. I've never experienced this before. New norm for Corona?

Yes for experience and no for pre-Corona - it’s company dependent

Interesting. I've only ever done case studies after meeting the team, not as my first entry point to a company. First time for everything.

I’ve done case studies for industry roles before. It’s common when the team has ex-consultants or ex-bankers

I’ve been offered a position that I’m really excited about. Their initial offer was 10K more than the top of the salary range they gave me for the position when I asked during the interview process and at the top end of the salary requirements I set for myself. My partner thinks I should still negotiate for more even though I’m happy with the offer. Am I an idiot if I don’t negotiate in this case? Realistically, I don’t think I’d get much more than that, but should I negotiate out of principle?

I cleared the Interview for SDET in Oracle today in the Manager discussion, He asked about the Expectations and I told 25 lpa, He said we cant pay that much as Your current is 14.7.
I said I can be flexible and minimum i can go for is 22 Lpa as i have another offer of 25 but considering oracle brand value i am ready to go settle but he said I can't offer you this much and left the zoom call. So How much oracle is offering for SDET of 8 Years of Experience?

The team I am on is small and I know that when I leave, they’ll have a lot on their hands. I only have a couple of interviews scheduled and nothing is solid yet.
