I had a third-round interview where the hiring manager spent 20 minutes bragging about how they work hard and play hard, which we all know is code for having no boundaries. I asked what time the team usually heads out on Fridays, and the room went completely silent. It’s so hard to find an Industry role that isn't just Public-lite. Are there actually any chill companies left, or has the startup culture poisoned the entire private sector?

UPDATE (RE: SoCal Assistant Controller Interview)

So after two weeks of waiting (and giving up on the idea of getting the job really), the recruiter got back to me.

They said due to month-end and quarter-end close they were busy and couldn’t get back to me as quickly for a “good update”.

The recruiter said the CFO enjoyed our call, she, the CFO, will call me next week directly to “discuss some final things”.

Not sure if Im hired or not, but are there any questions about the job, comp (cont.)
