I thought I was over the offer I turned down a few weeks ago. The job was great, but it wasn't a good fit for my skills and experience. But now that I'm having a hard time getting any interviews, I can't stop wondering if I made a huge mistake. Would it look like I'm desperate if I call to see if that job is still available?

Maybe, but what do you have to lose? they probably moved on to the next best person. But you’ll never know if you don’t ask.

It’s 99% a fact that this is the case. That person is already in the onboarding process.

It will, you should’ve took the offer for a number of reasons. Sometimes taking a step back will allow you to take 4 steps forward. Remember, the best time to look for work, is when you have work.

Hi everyone!
I've had 2 rounds of interviews at Google (UK) for a non-tech role in Platforms & Ecosystems (L4/L5). Recruiter told me that I've been selected for the final rounds (GCA + Leadership Interview). From his feedback, one thing they wanted me to improve on was the GCA Questions. Would anyone have any tips on how to prepare for these? I've checked some of Jeff Sipe videos online but would appreciate any support! I find GCA quite stressful...
Thx
Thanks in advance!

I have an offer accepted from Elevance 125k (Anthem) and w a good team and seems that WLB would be ok. Also, Amazon hiring manager wants to interview me for a job. Is just a hiring manager int. so obvi nothing guaranteed. Salary if offered will be more than 150k. My question is should I accept the interview and see where it goes? Is it really worth it to proceed with a company like Amazon for 25k+. I live in CA so $ is imp but I do have a toddler so WLB is also imp. Both role are Sr. MGR.
