Really depends on the company. I'd recommend going for one that's well established (not in growth mode) and asking questions about their close process (how many days is it? How many hours is it?) You'll have to be careful to be showing that you're coming at it from a wanting to know what it's like working there and not a "doesn't wanna work hard" perspective. That can make the difference between getting the job or not... maybe say something like "what can I expect for the first quarter end I work?"

Assuming the following holds tomorrow, I expect we will get a call of AZ around 11:15am ET, and NV and PA around 12:15pm ET.

PA: Biden extends lead beyond 35K ballots

My intuition is that the networks want to call all three to provide extra margin for error given the stakes and fine margins.
