I wanted to reschedule my hiring manager screen this week because I tested positive for covid and feeling sick with symptoms. Recruiter seemed annoyed and said hiring manager is busy for the rest of the week so I kept the original time slot. Interview is in 2 hrs and I just don’t feel like doing it esp thinking if this is the work culture

I’m always an advocate for time off when you need it - sick or just vacation - but assuming you’re feeling “well enough,” in this situation I’d take the call, at the beginning say something about being sick, and make this one where you’re really interviewing them. Get explicit about things like sick time, PTO, etc.

Recruiter could have been having a bad day, etc. and that interaction may not actually represent the company. If you get the same feeling after the screen remove yourself from the process.

I've seen people say that if you're underpaid, you can't just outline your contributions because your manager needs a compelling reason for finance to bump your salary and they need to prove you're underpaid. So how do I present my case that I'm being underpaid other than "my friends make this amount in their role" or "Glassdoor says this" when finance can find rebuttals for these arguments?

Have a big interview tomorrow. The question I dread the most is about why you’re looking for a new job.

Do I just make something else up entirely?
