Deloitte experienced hires, who all received written offers and in process of visa/ onboarding, have you heard back anything about hiring freeze? Or recruiter asked you to delay joining date?
My visa got submitted couple of days back and waiting for decision. When I reached out to recruiter to give her an update and mentioned once there’s decision will discuss on the start date before putting my 2 weeks, she mentioned “Yes, we should talk before you put notice” - Am I overthinking?

I recently interviewed for L7 EM at Google and had 4 great interviews and one not so great system design. I submitted external referrals all of which gave great feedback. The recruiter said the next step is team match/interviews and then the HC. Anyone in a similar situation? What was the result? Google

Experience works against you in today's fluffed up world.
30 years as a Lab Manager then downsized when place sold.
Can barely get interviews and am consistently told I am either overqualified (most lab work) or underqualified (academic work). They say I lack experience in the exact things they do.
30 years experience like mine can pigeonhole you. Beware!
Now I'm stuck falling back on my experience making websites for the porn industry1
I'm glad they're around because they are the best people I ever worked for in my life!!
Similar pay for 100% remote work on my own schedule, plus treated respectfully and as a human being!
Why did I ever think a "real job" would be better??

How long do they want you to be there before a promotion? I suppose it depends the level of other people within your team as promoting you to a position above them may cause friction if they've been there longer, but could just be an excuse to not promote you at all!

At least 3 years seems to be the norm
I did not know promotions were still a thing. In all likelihood you will need to jump companies to secure a pay increase.
Thanks for the brag (:
