I had an interview on Monday a company and they said I should know by the EOW but I haven’t heard anything. Should I just wait until Monday to reach out? I just received an offer but this other company is my first choice.

No harm in reaching out, I had a similar experience and when I left a voicemail I didn’t hear back from HR until the next day. She apologized that someone gave me a date to look forward to because she had her own timeline due to having multiple candidates she had to make offers to but she gave me a window of when she would be contacting me to give me a final answer. Sure enough she called me within a few days (like she said she would) and offered me a position. Good luck, I know the hardest part of the interviewing process is waiting to hear back.

I’ve been told you can reach out to ask about their timeline and when they think they’ll make a decision because you just got an offer. It prob also depends when you have to let the other company know your decision. At my last interview they said I should let them know if things change for me. Good luck!

If you have a competing offer, let em know ASAP. If they like you, they can speed up their process to get you an offer.

Let em know they're your first choice, but you need to know where you stand before declining your other offer.

What are questions I should be prepared to answer in an in interview for an Associate Copywriter role? I used to be in project management, so the questions were different...

Is it happening that company has started walk-in or face to face interviews instead of virtual interview ???

How it would go in future ?? Who will prefer to go in person/F2F/walkin and will waste whole day in metro crowded cities like Delhi/NCR, Pune, Banglore etc.

Kindly keep your opinions.

Resume gap: My position will be abruptly end in December (was informed this week). However, I won't be interview ready in the next 2 weeks. So how bad does a gap of 1-2 months appear to tech recruiters?

Common knowledge is it is a disadvantage to the candidate from a salary negotiation process. I'm also told hiring decisions at places like AWS & GCP take time and it might be a few months before an offer letter is received.

Hi Fishes,
I had given interview for network security architect position in Feb last week. And as per recruiter, I got selected for that role. I have been asked to share the documents on March 1st. I did a few followup for the offer letter update and they asked me 2 wait for 2-3 weeks. And now they are saying position has gone on hold after I did another followup.
Could it be because of expected salary ?
