I am traveling out of town for callback interviews. One firm wants me to commit a full day of interviews. Would it be reasonable to ask for a half day so I can fit 2 callbacks in the same day?

Do you like the firm that wants a full day? If so, no. Do the full day. Is the other a second best? If so, I’d stay another day and tell your current firm you were waylaid—you know, travel issues and all.

What if you don’t get an offer from your preferred firm? Refusing a full day interview is a good way to make sure you don’t get an offer at your second place firm.

If they want a full day, can you ask the firm to cover hotel arrangements? If you’re flying that shouldn’t be a problem. I agree you probably don’t want to ask for 1/2 day - even if you want an offer from the other firm, you can’t count on it until you have it. Also, you never know how you’re going to feel about a firm until you get in there for callbacks. I hated my top choice after I spent 4 hours there.

I will add that I’ve spent a lot of time on a recruiting committee. We knew most candidates were fitting in two firms in one day (we usually even know which firm), but some candidates did some pretty blatant things that made it very clear we were a second choice. It never went in their favor.

Thanks for your perspective!! Based on the feedback here I think I’ll keep the full day.

So, a recruiter sent me a HackerRank assessment and I went to complete it and it was so easy? Is this a red flag or a shit test or something? Like there was a number sequence: “1234567”, and it corresponded to a word: “Surgeon”. Then it was the word: “Snore”, which corresponded to “36425”. and then I had to figure out the number that corresponded to: “Rogue”. It just seemed too easy, why even have it besides creating another barrier to a possible offer? Should I tread carefully here?

Just graduated with Aerospace Engineering degree. I am interviewing for multiple positions at once with different companies. One gave me an offer and they want me to get back to them within 2 days.

I do like the company that gave me an offer but their base pay was 80k and they went up to 85k. Is asking for them to match the 90k too much? The position is associate systems engineer.

For those who have gone through Mck First Round/Final Round - could you talk about how the interview took place? I am a bit worried as it might be hard to connect with the interviewer when the process is not in-person. Did you have a phone call or a Zoom call with video, and did it feel awkward? Thanks for your help!
