I worked 12 hours a day most days and then at least 4 hours a day over the weekend with no additional compensation. I wish I had asked about the WLB balance. I moved to another company and did ask about WLB in my interview and now I work only 9 hours some days and hardly any weekends.

Ask what skills should you improve on before starting.
If the interviewer says you were a good fit for the position, don’t be afraid to ask what you can do to improve your chances for the position or whether there are any skills you should practice before starting.

Ask if there are any hesitations they might have that you can clear up. It’s essential not to use negative phrasing when asking this question. Don’t ask whether they see any flaws in you, why they are not considering hiring you, or why they think you might not be a good fit for the position.

You're getting some great advice here, I'd say the big thing to remember is that the interview does go both ways! Ask a lot around paths to success and what people are doing internally, professional development initiatives are also pretty important so I'd ask around that!@

You can ask about the career opportunities for your role. Also the expected timeline for promotion. I think these are the questions you need to ask.

I no longer have access to the Microsoft bowl due to the change in work email address, so I thought I'd see if any Microsoft management (former or current) are in here. I'm looking to confirm that when potentially coming back on at Microsoft, the hiring manager will be able to see my previous connects. I had a great experience at Microsoft, and would like to keep that door open in my mind, though my last connect has what I would call unfair characterizations due to a unique chain of events.

I started interviewing early Oct with a company that reached out via recruiter. The hiring manager was very straight forward with me that I was his top candidate and I was told all other interviews were very positive incl CMO.

Meanwhile I'm taking other interviews and was offered a promotion at current company, but was very interested in this one. What would you do?

Hi all!
Would love some insight on how you went from an HR assistant/coordinator to an HR Generalist. I’ve been in the HR world for 8 years, and only in the last 2-3 have I really done real HR work. The first company I was at didn’t have a solid HR team so I don’t really count that. I feel like I’m ready to take on more responsibility and learn more. And of course make more money.
