if this is mckinsey's hackerrank, it's not the worst but you'll need to be quick on your feet

Normally they’ll tell you beforehand, but I’ve taken one recently that included both python and SQL questions

Just go through Hacker rank problems. I'd note that most of the problems aren't well structured/defined. It's like real life ;)

How did it go? Any updates?

My work just had a retreat and I felt so out of place and uncomfortable. I tried to talk to people but was pretty much ignored and honestly it was really stressful for me, and the reason I chose a remote role was to avoid this.

Now we have yet another one with triple the amount of people, a 12-hour flight away. I have to be with them for 2 days straight and would have to room with someone I don’t know.

How do I not attend this and not seem like I’m not a “team player”?

Can someone explain how PTO works in house? I have only ever worked at a firm, starting my first in house position end of this month.

Do I really need to take PTO for these things? I’ll be working remotely 3-4 days a week for reference and I’m talking about days when I’m remote.

Hi, what would you suggest asking for a starting salary as a new grad nurse practitioner in a speciality field in NJ/Philadelphia region? Position is 40 hours with rotating on call weeks. Thanks in advance.

When you recruiters say at the end of a 15 min call.
“I will get back to you by the end of this week” does that really mean “your not right for this position”? Because this whole thing is a waste of time. I’ve did these calls with 3 recruiters and is yet to hear back from someone. Today would be the 4th recruiter that I’ve spoken to. Does this practice annoy you guys just as much as it does us? My dream career is to be a technical recruiter but this whole thing is discouraging.
