I recently interviewed for L7 EM at Google and had 4 great interviews and one not so great system design. I submitted external referrals all of which gave great feedback. The recruiter said the next step is team match/interviews and then the HC. Anyone in a similar situation? What was the result? Google
Hi Everyone, I am trying to apply for a Technical Support role at Dropbox I’m entering all the required fields but there seems to be an issue, when I hit submit after filling the form, it doesn’t submit and throws error ‘Looks like you left this blank! Please fill out this required field’ when all the fields are entered already (I have checked so many times, and filled the form from scratch several times too). Anyone from Dropbox who can put me in touch with HR or suggest what I should do next?

Unless your on the board of your company why aren't you marking yourself as OOO and/or off the grid?

It is crazy sometimes... it seems we are all expected to reply because of our phones
Unless I am working, my work phone is off. I don't check emails after hours, on vacation, or on the weekends. I definitely still keep those boundaries in place.

At my work, most folks will take the workphone turned off and out of site, and either say 1)`in emergency text me at (personal number) or 2) more commonly list a contact or contacts in out of office replies who have their personal number but screen when to use it.
Traveling internationally can be different ... security screens if you are even allowed to take it due to potential increased exposure of company or client data.

Yeah we usually do that but I have gotten texts on my personal phone
Im on call 24/7 so my situation is a bit different. Nights & weekends the work phone is with me and on, vacation the phone is off and my status is OOO. Once/day on vacation I'll turn it on, check up on whats going on, then it goes off. Anyone with a real authority to determine if something truly sn emergency has my personal phone number and can reach me. The other 99% don't.
Its literally the only way to actually be in a leadership position and balance work/life. Balance doesn't mean the structure is the same every day, week, month, or year. It just means that boundaries are structured and need to be respected. I hear a lot of younger people demanding employers respected those boundaries but they want it to be a constant routine. Respected is earned, not an entitlement.

I leave it at home, don't want to lose it somewhere I shouldn't have it and then have to explain it to the company.

If I truly need rest, I leave it at home or powered off. Otherwise I am mentally half at work. Boundaries only work if they are physically enforced.

Yep
You guys are getting separate work phones?

Believe me it is not as amazing as it sounds...

Work phone is off or silent! Vacation means no work plain and simple! Mental health is also important
