Don't actually know anyone who has, but Tahoe real estate went through the roof. Some family friends put a cabin up way over last year's appraisal value and had multiple offers in a single weekend.

I cleared 2 rounds of interviews with CGI. The very next day someone from the management team called me up and very readily agreed with me for my expected salary. He said he shall quickly ask the HR team to process my offer letter.

And it's been a week since I haven't heard from anyone. Neither CGI asked me docs nor any HR called me.

What shall I do now? I am currently under the Notice Period.

Last week I've completed a very long (7 round ) interview process. It's been 5 days since then, I am waiting for final decision

After a follow-up yesterday, I got the below message

"Apologies for the delay, due to some critical meetings, we couldn't re-group internally. I will setup a check in with you on Monday. Hope that's okay"

I'm still not clear if the decision is positive or not

Is there a way to give them that feedback? And is it even worth it anyway?

What are your thoughts about having to take an iq/personality assessment tests? It seems so outdated to me. I don’t think it predicts how you will truly perform at a job.

I present, interview clients, demo products, and facilitate meetings for a living. So what if I go home and shut down after work? I’m exhausted from speaking all day!

I’m looking to leave my job and have 2 interview processes going on at the moment.

The other is a great opportunity for me to lead a team and a whole program with a little less money than the other role. Would it be bad if I join the 2nd role then leave in a few months for the 1st one if I got an offer?
