I got a call back a week later about a role, that they wanted me

I would say it depends. I have many roles I’m hiring for right now in big pharma, while I have to cover all the meetings, document reviews, and managing multiple key programs in parallel. Not to mention needing to start authoring more job descriptions. Needless to say, I’m busy so I’m trying to get it all done but just takes time.

Related, the HR system I’m dealing with needs updates and multiple approvals including me tracking those folks down to approve. Lots of things going on that adds to the time to respond.

Well it’s a week into the last month of Q1 which means the role and all hires were frozen by the CFO until quarterly numbers show promise. So expect a call back potentially in 2-3 weeks

be patient. if your final round was a group / panel of interviewers, they'll have to gather up all the feedback.. and March is full of PTO requests.. kids on spring break, etc.

I’ve always been a big saver minimum 15% to maxing out my 401k since I graduated college. I’m married to someone who thinks 6% is enough and likes $$$ cars. Other than the cars, they dont really spend money. For the married 🐠, how do you have the conversation with them that what they are doing isn’t enough? I try to guide them and say you want the $$$ cars but the salary you have won’t get there and you’re going to have to find a job that gets them the salary…. Then the fight starts.

I really do not prefer one company over the other. They’re both great! I’m very confused here. TIA🙏
