Has anyone taken any classes at General Assembly, on your own or through your company? What was your experience and your opinion of them? I have a first phone interview for a job with them this week.

I have, in NY. They have some great and not so great teachers, it’s really hit or miss. In terms of how it’s run, it seems a bit of a shit show on the admin side - it took me 3 weeks of constant stalking (literally in person and online ) to get a response about a refund . Their marketing seems to reflect what they teach, the teachers will bring up examples they’ve done - which is sometimes smart, sometimes very aggressive digital tactics (I know they’ve been penalized for spamming a ton of times)

It was about 5 months ago. I already have a job (I’m a planner), I was just using the short term courses to boost my digital knowledge. Not sure if they actually get people jobs, though I know 1 person (UXdesigner, back in the day when it was a new field) did get work afterwords

Thank you for sharing!! How long ago was this? Also, was the training helpful to you for finding a job afterwards? Like, did you have a specific idea for what you were targeting to do after the course?

Hi fishes, I declined the offer from Pwc AC bangalore on July 28th by sending an email to HR, communicated the same to us_pwc_ac_bangalore_recruitment_services@pwc.com.

Disney Streaming Services I completed my interview process with DSS early last week, and was reached out by recruiter that all rounds were strong hires, and they are extending an offer. We set a time to talk on Friday about the offer. However, the announcement of targeted hiring freeze happened on Friday. I was ghosted with no call. What should I expect now? Would I still have chance to be offered?

I interviewed with a company last week and the interviewer said he would submit my notes to the hiring manager and I would hear back this Monday from HR on next steps/if they want to move forward. I didn’t hear back yesterday so I emailed HR and she said she wasn’t part of the hiring decision so would reach out to the initial interviewer for his feedback. I haven’t heard from her and it’s been 24 hours - starting to get worried. What should I do? Does this mean they’re not interested?

Anything before that was grad school and I haven’t kept in contact with any professors from over five years ago. What should I do? 😕

I finally was able to convince my principal that we need a consistent math intervention at the MS level (grades 5-8). (Right now, we are just "doing our own thing," which isn't helping students progress much.) Does anyone have any suggestions? It would be beneficial to have some sort of progress monitoring tool as part of the program, if possible. Our classes run roughly 55 minutes (which is too long for an intervention, in my humble opinion).

Thanks for any advice.
