I always reflect on the week before it ends. This one reminded me that most HR issues are about communication gaps, not bad intent. We assume, avoid, escalate. Rarely do we pause.
What conversation are you avoiding that might actually solve something?

Nothing I can think of right now. I've never had a problem speaking my mind, which is both a good and bad thing. I don't mean to be blunt, but I know I can come across that way at times.

There is something refreshing about not sitting on things. I have learned that tone shapes impact more than content. Being direct is powerful, especially when it is paired with curiosity and timing. That balance changes everything.

Nothing I have in particular, but I do think it helps to speak up rather than sit on it (I know that can be easier said than done for others) but it does actually help, especially if you have a good listener or to know to stand your ground if you have awkward circumstances.

Had my virtual on-site for an S&O L3 role 3.5 weeks ago (NYC, 5 YOE). I haven’t heard back on a decision yet, and was wondering how long it typically takes? I also know that I was one of the very first candidates to interview for this specific role, and there are atleast 2 more people scheduled for onsites. Does the recruiter typically wait for all candidates to finish their onsites before communicating a decision? Or if I haven’t heard back yet, it’s probably a reject?
