I have a GitHub profile with some old leet problems

Have both

Building mine up right now!
Kessenma.GitHub.io

I feel like having a website is the “new age cover letter” for a lot of developer, data scientist, and UX research jobs I’m interested in.

Since like 90% of applicants don’t have one— if you do, you stand out more I feel.

I have both. I've had to get creative to show exactly what each company wanted to see while I was looking for my most recent job.

Deloitte
Hi everyone, I just had a first round interview for Deloitte M&A Valuation Analyst role based in Australia. I feel like I went pretty well, they were pretty keen at my Analytics background ( DA/Modelling) & my interest in finance (preparing CFA L1 atm)
However I haven’t heard back anything after two days(e.g. book my time for round 2 interview)…I know there is supposed to two more round of interviews.
Just wondering if this is the normal waiting time or I’m not the person they looking?
