People always thought I was the IT guy
So I’m about to start my interview process for Capital One next week for a Senior Financial Analyst position. My recruiter going give me a prep call on Friday but I wanted any advice that recruiters don’t tell you during the interview process. Also I wanted to ask if Capital One a decent place to work at. I will be working at the one in McLean Virginia if that helps.

Not really. Recently interviewed for Deloitte for M (I say ‘recently’ with a chuckle). Last round was done on 5th May. Received an email confirmation on 12th that they’ll move to offer.
May 19th - recruiter calls and lowballs me and I ask him to match an offer in hand.
Apparently, he needs to jump through a lotta hoops to get the range I was after.
June 20th - he says the partners have approved the hike and that it needs to go to CFO for approval and I should hear back in 2 days.
Cut to yesterday - get another call that my desired salary has been approved and that I should receive an offer tomorrow.
In essence, its been almost 2 months and I don’t have an offer in hand. But constant communication (mostly me chasing recruiter) gave me an idea that they’re still interested.
My suggestion - try and chase them with a deadline in mind and stick to it. If you don’t hear back by then, move on.
I don’t know if its helpful but I thought I’d share my experience to keep your hope alive!
No, I have been the these situations on both sides. If they don't get back to your within 1 month then it's a red flag. But generally it could be they have to jump through the hoops to get your compensation approved.
That depends on how long they kept you waiting. Other companies will make you wait until they finish the whole batch of applicants. If they deemed that someone is more qualified than you, then that's the time they will reach out to you to deliver the bad news.
What’s a really long time? It is vacation season at some companies and my offers got held up a week/2 weeks simply because HR was on vaca
