Is expecting interviewers to be on time (or a max of 2-3 minutes late if they're back to back) and somewhat interested during the interview too much to ask for? 🙃

Not talking about consulting or IB interviewers, who I understand need to be tough, but regular corporate interviewers.

How late were they? Did they tell you? Maybe it was part of the test. To see how you react

7 minutes, and no one gave us the heads up that they'd be late or may potentially be late due to prior meetings. Both interviewers clearly didn't want to be there, even though they're supposed to be "neutral."

At least consulting firms will flag this in advance, and if they are late, they've never been more than 5 minutes late to an interview.

I’ve been approached my by company that one of our large clients (who im currently project managing for) is looking for a consultant of sorts, and if they hire us, I’d be the first person asked to take on this consultant role. This isn’t something my company typically offers and would greatly change the scope of my role. Has anyone ever taken on a role like this? If so, were you able to negotiate a percentage of the consulting fee? Or was it a bump in salary during the project?

If you get a very uncompetitive offer from a company and you counter, and they decline every element of your counteroffer what does it say about the company in your opinion? Would you still take the opportunity?

My partner and I are moving out of our condo building in NYC at month end, and the building management (not our landlord) has communicated to us that, on top of the 1K non-refundable fee and 1K security deposit to move out (stated in lease), they are also issuing a $1,250 "sanitization fee" for the public areas (hallways/elevators), since we happen to be moving out during COVID19. We feel this is taking advantage of tenants during this time and may not be legal. Any advice helps!
