I had an interview the week before Christmas and New Years. I know there is usually a holiday slump - when should I reach out about an update? It will be 3 weeks tomorrow.

I sent the email I was typing prior to posting this and got an auto response - HR Representative returns tomorrow! Hopefully, I hear something this week.

Now that everyone is back from their holidays, were you able to get an answer from HR?

No, I sent a second email at the end of the week and a third and final email early this week with a request for feedback - I got nothing. The portal still says "awaiting hr review" but I'm assuming its a no, which sucks because I really wanted the position.

It's not necessarily a no. "With HR for review" is always the default first step. Then it should move to "Under screen/review" and then "Shortlisted". If it's still in the first status, I wouldn't say you're discarded. If you want, you can DM me the R-xxxx code of the job posting so I can try to see if it's still listed in the internal portal or not.

General Question I started tuition reimbursement last year in August. I since have an interview with another job that is paying a lot more.

Do they take it out of my 401k? I know a lot of people will say I never shouldve applied but I didn't think too much about actually get a call back when I applied.
