If [said company] asks to put you "on hold" for the month of December...but you found a better offer, do you:
-have to follow through with said gig
-communicate this with them if they haven't followed up yet (but added you to new slack channels)

(asking because I no longer wish to work with them) Thanks for the advice.

Unless they are paying you for your held time, you don’t work for them and you can do whatever you want. I don’t know what your contract says but you can I’m sure just tell them you’re leaving and go, it’s very reasonable that you would want to.

Nothing signed? No upfront payment? You get to do whatever you want.

You are never obligated to take any gig. Ever.

Are you already working for them?

If not and they asked to hold you, you should contact them and let them know their hold is being challenged and if they want you they need to sign you now. But since you don’t want to work for them, you can just let them know you’re no longer available.

Usually put on hold is a nicer way to say “never gonna happen”

I was recently offered a Zoom interview. The school had 10 interview slots for me to choose from. Three were one day this week and the rest are next week. I chose the first time slot available. Should I have waited until one of the last slots so I was fresher on their mind when choosing a candidate? I am just sitting here stressing out until I here something. Also, do interviewers still appreciate a hand written thank you for the interview?

I have cleared all the interview rounds (WebEx & HR on call) for the position: VERIFIER, and also submitted documents (authentic as per my knowledge) for background verification on Aug. 25, 2022.

Does anyone have any advice on how to deal with discrimination as an Asian in the workplace? In my company it seems like it’s a white boys club where and they just promote white ppl because they’re white. And then they have a lower bar for promotions for minorities (traditional minorities likes Hispanics and African Americans). Meanwhile they make Asians do all the work. I am not generalizing that this is how it is everywhere but it definitely is that way in my workplace. Any advice?
