Is applying a few days before the “Apply by” date too late? Do most decisions get made early on/they don’t wait for all applications before interviewing/hiring?

There are definitely times when decisions are made but the posting is still up. That being said, I see no harm in applying anyways. Worst case you end up without the job, which is where you'll be anyways if you don't apply lol.

As a rule of thumb, sooner you apply, the higher the attention you are going to get from the recruiting and hiring manager.

Hi,

Just started a new job less than a month ago in the tech sector. It was the industry I was fixated on when leaving for. However I realise that I don't think I can cope with the fast paced, lack of wlb, with no support - it's really impacting my mental health already....

I try to hide it from my boyfriend, but its impact is flowing into my personal life.
I feel like a failure, but recognise it might be beneficial to cut loss and quit. Has anyone been in this situation?

Any advice?
