I have a company that rejected me last week due to hiring freeze and calling me again after a week with some exciting news. I anticipate it’s an offer and I’m confused. What red flags should be I aware and ask about in the call?

I would bring it up to them honestly. I would let them know that you are a little wary and ask what changed that they are now able to hire you. At the end of the day you need to CYA…(I assume you know what that means being in product 😆). I hope this helps!

Lol is it Wells Fargo?

Yes be very open about it and ask what framework they typically use to determine layoffs, such as last hired vs remove under-performers.

That is very 8interesting. I think the whole thing is one big red flag. Seems sketch.

The whole situation is a red flag. If you're currently employed and your company/industry is stable, I would proceed with caution if the company extends an offer.
-Unless they received a huge influx of capital, conditions within the company did not change that quickly.
-Was the initial reason for rejection a lie?

During interview I was speaking to the hiring manager. Felt interview was going well. He seemed impressed by my answers, excited by my skills, and even gave me a tour of the office. At the end, he asked about my home life. When I spoke of my 3 young kiddos, the manager got a little taken back and replied Oh you have children? I said yes ages 3, 5, and 7. He then proceeded to ask me about daycare arrangements and if I can be reliable. Red flag as his demeanor changed and made me feel unworthy.

Is this a lot for an interview?

I’m a little afraid of doing all this work to then just have them take my ideas and not hire me.

I saw some sales managers discussing hiring strategies, especially for entry level roles (e.g. SDR, BDR).

One strategy that came up was having the applicant do 90 minutes of cold calling into real prospects with the hiring manager coaching.

What do you think of this approach? Would be curious to hear from both hiring manager perspectives and from candidate perspectives.

Can we acknowledge and fix instances of police brutality while also not ignoring our cultural problems as well?
