Have you ever realized that you are great at passing interviews but terrible at choosing the right company? I started noticing a pattern where I could get hired into tech roles quickly, perform well early on, and still feel mentally checked out within months. It made me realize interviewing skills and long term job compatibility are completely different things. How do you screen for culture and work style fit during tech interviews?

Finding the right company fit is challenging. Using PracHub for interview prep can help you focus on technical questions, but researching company culture through online reviews and networking is equally important.

Could you provide the PracHub code?

Yep lol. Especially since a lot of companies want to present as attractive as possible, even if it’s not an accurate representation. So sometimes they pull a bait and switch where culture is not what it was presented as.

You've said the reality of things

Hey guys,
I’m currently a quality control analyst in the biopharma/gene therapy field making 72k base in the Houston area.

I see companies (smaller and larger) that potentially can give me that but would it be worth it? I’m having a hard time finding out what opportunities/paths I can take and what amount of $ would be worth moving jobs for. Any insight is appreciated!

Quick question.
I was a contractor for a big company and they just let me know that my last day is December 30th. I got this position thanks to a recruiting company that has been great and gives me benefits.
Should I:
- Continue working with the recruiting company, hoping that they will find another position for me? (as they told me they will, and when they applied me I started working with my current company within 2 weeks)
- Work with the recruiter + apply for jobs on my own?
