18 months during Covid. I applied and interviewed in February 2020 and then they put the position on hold. 1.5 years later they asked if I wanted to do a second round interview. This was a government (state DOJ) position.

They told me the next round was with the state AG so I’m guessing anyone who was still interested 18 months later was a shoe in. I had been promoted (at my still current job) in the meantime and was no longer interested.

Not got the job: Waited six weeks before being told they have decided not to fill the position.
Got the job: Went back and forth for a month over salary concerns. Got more than they originally offered, a little less than I wanted.

Yes, I did, and it was worth the wait. I stayed with the company for 14 years :)

This is a recent incident happened to me, was interviewed for tcs, salary discussion happened on 12th March and was told to wait for final approval and was told that offer letter would be rolled out in 2 weeks. Hr did not negotiate on the CTC either. After waiting for a month i tried reaching HR they did not respond. After multiple emails they simply say that they cannot move forward due to high deviations. Guys is this normal in TCS that even after final CTC discussions ,candidates get rejectd.

Anyone live with a general plat exception rather than insisting upon the title company specifying the matters on plat which constitute exceptions? This deal is in Source Carolina, but I don’t think the title company is pushing back because of any state law issue. I’m not accepting the broad exception, but I’m curious how often others do accept that.

Can someone please for the love of god help me figure out how I can pay less income taxes? I only make 88k and I put the 12k standard deduction but I’m still getting taxed 27% of my paychecks! My sign on bonus (20 even) a few months ago was taxed nearly 45%! Excuse my ignorance, but am I doing something wrong? Will increasing deductions help or should I increase the withholdings? Is this normal?! Thanks for any help/advice, it’s greatly appreciated.

Hello!
I'm italian, 26 yo and currently working in France as financial analyst.
Work environment is great, friendly and multicultural but I don't like the job at all.
Personal life is not so nice since I manage to see my family and gf every 30/45 days only. Colleagues have their own lives and at the end we don't hang out much.
My dilemma is:
A) going back to Italy at a lower salary with less growth opps but better personal life or
B) Switching my job here and hold on

What would you do?

Thx! :)
