Interviewed for a position and was confident I had it in the bag. It’s been a month with weekly follow ups from the Talent MGR telling me that I am one of the final candidates and to hang in there...

Which is perfectly fine for them but is waiting this out a bad reflection on me? Like I don’t have other options? Which I do but I just really want this job over the rest.

... a decision will be made soon. Latest response was basically I’m the candidate they want but to give them a bit more time. What should I make of this whole situation?

Have you mentioned the other options? Any concrete offers to use as leverage? If so, say: this is still my first choice however I have other opportunities available and would like to make a decision sooner rather than later.

There’s whole lot more red tape than one would imagine in getting hired. So many signatures needed. It could boil down to something as simple as someone being out on vacation and not able to sign something or one persons interview having to be rescheduled. I waited for a response for 3 weeks once, come the 4th week they finally apologized and told me that the job was mine and not to accept if I thought I was out of the running. People were OOO and all paperwork couldn’t be completed so an official offer could be extended.

I saw some sales managers discussing hiring strategies, especially for entry level roles (e.g. SDR, BDR).

One strategy that came up was having the applicant do 90 minutes of cold calling into real prospects with the hiring manager coaching.

What do you think of this approach? Would be curious to hear from both hiring manager perspectives and from candidate perspectives.

Currently scheduling “on sites” for a S&O role in CA. My referrer said they can hire as L5 or L6. Would like to land in the L6 bucket as I’ve heard 5 --> 6 is one of the more challenging promotions.

I’m looking for info on what the real difference is in responsibilities (manager vs IC, cross functional vs focused, etc) so I can focus on checking the L6 boxes during my interviews.

I’m also curious about whether this is something that I should just discuss with my recruiter directly?

Check the overtime laws for your state!!

I just recently worked 58.6 hours in a week, weekly pay, nice OT profit right? Depends on where you live.

In Iowa, there is no Overtime pay mandate, the overtime pay is at the discretion of the business. I received 58.6 hours of base pay for the week.

If the company makes less than $1 million per year or does not engage in intercontinental sales, the company is not required to pay the overtime rate of time and a half, just your base rate.
