This is going to sound bad, but really trying to help. Attention to detail is really important. If someone sent me something written the way your post is written, I’d never even grant an interview. Even mundane tasks should be done intentionally and accurately. Always re-read everything you send out to make sure you aren’t giving an interviewer a reason to skip your resume/application. Good luck in the hunt!

I would personally just take what I could get while I look for something that pays better. Some money is better than no money. But you can be working on your skills and applying for higher-paying jobs during your evenings and weekends.

Jobs are so hard to find right now so it is normal to be discouraged. I would encourage you to try and network and get referrals. Sometimes that can help you get your foot in the door somewhere.

I completed my interview loop at Google on August 12, 2022.

I was informed on September 8th that the hiring committee is scheduled the next day (September 9th) and that I can expect a final feedback latest by September 12th. I wasn’t informed of the results and reached out, but the recruiter isn’t replying to my emails. Does this mean I was rejected?

Preparing for my final round case interview and I’ve realized that whereas prior to the first round I was pretty comfortable with casing, now I’m less and less so since I’m increasingly anxious that I could not come up with the right buckets. I’m also doing more untraditional cases at times which makes me feel like I’m not performing that well. Has anyone experienced similar things? How did you cope with it/What’s your advice? Many thanks in advance since I’m now a ball of stress 😩😩

I know everyone has a different kind of setup that works for them. I currently have a laptop, drawing pad, second monitor, and a desk riser.
