Hi friends - I am interviewing for a role and the description says working with a supportive and challenging leader? What is everyone’s take on that?

I take it as a hard pass for me. If they meant challenging in a way that's thinking out of the box and trying new things, there is a better way to word it. I automatically go to challenging being difficult to work for.

He or she has may be demanding but fair or could have had personality conflicts with their previous employees. It’s hard to say what exactly that means. I’d do the interview and ask questions to try and get examples of how exactly this leader is supportive and challenging.

This is more my take. Do the interview and find a way to ask strategic questions that can give more of an insight to what it really means. Also make sure you interview directly with said leader before joining.

Hello there. I have been interviewing with Okta and got through all 5 rounds of interviews. They say they want to offer me the job but there is a global freeze for all marketing roles at the company.

Hi, I have a 2 part question:

I did a “meet the team” interview 2 weeks ago and now the hiring manager set up a call on Tuesday. Is it safe to assume that’s a call to extend an offer?

If that’s a reasonable assumption, could I let another company (finished interviews last Friday) know ahead of time on Monday that I’m expecting an offer in the hopes of speeding up their decision making?
