Thanks. I did ask for a new date twice and was told they could only offer the two days provided and wasn’t sure if I should push again. Also do candidates normally receive feedback after the first round?

I’ve heard that you shouldn’t be afraid to ask for more time if you need it

Yeah I did but said they couldn’t accommodate so here we are.

Wow im surprised they cant accomodate. If you have a busy working schedule, I think you can try to find a solution with them.. unless you feel ready

Hi Fishes,

I just received an offer from a company I was interviewing at. However, they are rushing things and asking me to sign the offer letter ASAP.

Can you please guide me on how do I use this offer to get an even higher total compensation? Do I accept the offer and then appear for other interviews? Do I tell them to wait? Need guidance.

Thanks!!!

Hi everyone, I have a quick question that’s kind of silly. I work at a pretty small company leading marketing. My title is technically Marketing Lead but I want to put Head of Marketing on my LinkedIn etc. I think of these titles as totally interchangeable—I just like the way the second one reads better. I know titles don’t really matter, but I’m battling a little bit of imposter syndrome.

What does everyone else think?
