This is a great response tbh. Make it a joke but have a little nugget of something meaningful. Love it.

The appropriate response is “excuse me what kind of question is that?” Or “I thought this was a job interview not filming for the kardashians” or how “the hell should I know? I’m a lawyer and not a mind reader” or “Are you sure you are hiring? Because based upon this interview, your firm will likely tank in the next year or so” or “I can’t answer that, I am late for my next interview. And based upon that question, the biggest misconception is that I can read people’s minds”

I take it you were interviewed by a former camp counselor? Were all of the questions icebreakers?

No, they started with the standard “tell me about yourself” and a technical question. The person had their camera off the whole time, I didn’t know what to do with mine so I just kept it on… Just felt weird

Has anyone ever asked to renegotiate their salary after starting a job? I’m 2 months into my new job and I have far more responsibilities than what I was told. It’s a lot different than what was relayed in the posting and during the interviews. Additionally, they hired my counter part in as a senior manager which is at least $30k more than what I make. My peer has more experience so I expect that but I feel that I should be paid more, however I don’t want to leave a bad impression… any advice?

Hey All,
I finished a third round interview, and HR contacted me that afternoon saying I had positive feedback across the board and they would contact me the next day regarding next steps. It’s been two days and they finally get back to me saying they haven’t been able to sync with the hiring manager but will keep me posted. Honestly I wish they would talk with the hiring manager and then let me know the decision instead of checking in. It’s messing with my emotions.
