If they don’t have the money you better take your brain elsewhere. If this is an excuse because they don’t want you then you’ll be giving away work for free. As a general rule, don’t do existing client work at interviews

I think an abridged / teaser version of the work could be a good leave-behind so they know where / how to level you when budgets open back up. I wouldn’t give them everything.

No. No free work. Respect yourself. Stay in touch and in good terms for better opportunities later.

good idea re teaser vp3
if you’re really passionate about the agency, o.p, it could perhaps make sense to see if they can fund a small fee for you to help them pitch an account that will fund you if you win it together. but also like the other posters said “respect yourself!”

I have been in multiple interviews- I have an offer from my least desirable company and they have only given a a few hours to accept. I have final rounds with two desirable companies tomorrow with favorable feedback. I have a task to complete for another company where I am one of the final 2.
I’m stressing over accepting/not accepting the offer, in fear of ending up with nothing, despite all the final rounds. I’ve been close before, and not received an offer.

How would you look at this?

Hi all,
Does anyone have advice/ leads on what companies sponsor H1B? I just graduated with my MS in Data Science, have 3 years of UX/ PM experience, a BFA in Product Development, and a BA in Journalism. I have been looking since August and so far no offers/ companies ending the interview once they find out I need sponsorship down the line. I am wondering what I am doing wrong. What companies/ jobs should I apply to with my background?

Hi Fishes,

I gave my various rounds of interview in Deloitte USI 2 months ago, and since then till last Friday it was showing " interview in progress" on their job portal, HR said earlier that we are interviewing other candidates. I got an offer from Amazon last week and asked Deloitte recruiter to speed up the process, i didn't get any reply on my email but now it's showing " review in progress" on the job portal. What does it mean? Shall I wait for Deloitte offer or take Amazon's offer.
