Had an interview^, it was normal until I got to one manager. She asked me ‘how would you get msg across from one state to another, without any technology or money?’

The same girl, who was interviewing me was managing a team and when I asked what her management style was - ‘I delegate everything, I don’t know anything about finance’. THIS WAS THE interviewers response to ME. It was a financial transformation role.

Last interview was with a senior manager, midway- he freaked out cuz his client pinged him. Didn’t hear from them and when I emailed the recruiter since it was the last interview-I got no response. Days later, I was connected to the recruiter on LinkedIn lol she got a new job. I asked her who to follow up with and she gave me someone thankfully.

Then spoke to that HR person and they said they’d bring me in at Sr consultant and then forgot about me 😔

1.5yrs later since joining a big4 and as an M3-deadass, a recruiter from SIA slipped in my LinkedIn asking if I’m interest in a senior manager 🫠

Moral of the story, know ya worth and stay humble! It’s a good thing somethings don’t work out.

I no longer have access to the Microsoft bowl due to the change in work email address, so I thought I'd see if any Microsoft management (former or current) are in here. I'm looking to confirm that when potentially coming back on at Microsoft, the hiring manager will be able to see my previous connects. I had a great experience at Microsoft, and would like to keep that door open in my mind, though my last connect has what I would call unfair characterizations due to a unique chain of events.

Heyy people,

Couldn't attend this interview at PwC due to last minute technical difficulties. I requested HR to reschedule it. She said it's not possible this week and she'll try her best for the next week. I am really tensed, I don't want to throw away this opportunity. I was really looking forward for the interview. Would they really reschedule my interview?

I have been giving interview from last 2 months and yet I haven't got a single offer and people here are getting multiple offers. Even if interview goes nice, I would get rejection mail.

I guess Luck matters a lot even if you perform well. There would be always someone who will do better than you.

I am getting demotivated, but have to continue trying hard.

I really wish luck could be on my side.

Advice pls. We got our greencard and now my spouse can work. My spouse has been unemployed for more than 2 years. And we noted that it is difficult to get more job interviews and get an offer. My spouse is into programming and has Masters Any suggestion how my spouse can increase chances of getting hired (e.g. get training certifications, apply as trainee, or probably you can refer me to companies who are considerate for immigrants). I noticed he started to feel a little bit depressed about it.

Advice and tips for a first time rental property investor?

I am 24 saving up for my first property to purchase at the end of 2021 / early 2022 in the Long Island, NY area.

I’d like to save up around $50K in my HYSA for a property <$400K in LI. Does this sound reasonable?

Does anyone have any advice on investing in the LI area (best location, SFH v MFH) or just general first time rental property buying advice?
