Hii Guys, Could anyone give me some clarity on the below point. I have cleared 2nd round of technical interview at Deloitte, but my candidature is still showing as interview in progress at Deloitte careers page. I had a discussion with HR on this and she told me that next process is pending from management side. It's been almost 10 days since from 2 nd round of interview. How much more time does it gonna take, any idea? Or is it normal. Please help me with this 🙏🙏 .Deloitte

People hate it when dues go up.
But they often go up from deferred maintenance and not wanting to tackle big dollar projects.
So one way or another, you have to pay for it.
No. Sane people don't want to deal with the people / issues that being on an HOA board involves. I can't generalize, but in my experience, there are always one or two people with personality issues that are involved (even if they lose elections, oh they will stay involved) that aren't worth others' time to deal with. That said, my complaints about HOA generally are about bad / ill thought out policy. Of course, the cost of everything goes up with time and you need occasional assessments. They mismanage finances, but not to the extent that it is worth dealing with the headache.
I think some level of dues increases are inevitable as costs go up over time. To me the issue with the HOA tends to be the dysfunction, personalities... The people managing them are often not financially savvy, so it probably has a cost, but that isn't the biggest issue. Some cost increases are necessary, some are due to bad management (unintentional), and I guess sometimes you may have some ego project - i.e. repainting / paving / adding something that the board wants to say they did.

In my experience the silent majority want to be left alone. It’s a very vocal minority who actually want to run and assume a role on an HOA board.
I have a friend who did exactly what you are suggesting and they said it was one of the worst years of their life. Once you assume that role you have to listen to all of the various and sundry problems from members. It’s also not that easy to change things. You have to continue paying for those contractual obligations that the HOA has entered into that are causing the budget shortfalls. Add in that the effort, cost, and time requirements needed to alter HOA covenants, which are legal documents, can be extremely high and the problem becomes very hard to resolve.

HOAs are like all government entities. The voters always want more service and complain that it’s too expensive. The board is responsible for maintenance of the community and in many cases the building which everyone wants and needs and doesn’t want to pay for.
