I've been interviewing for a role for 1.5 months. After every interview, they say I'm done with the process and should hear back soon, but then end up scheduling another round. I’m now heading into my 5th interview. (feels like they’re waiting for more applicants).

Meanwhile, I’ve got another offer with a deadline by the end of the week. How do I politely tell HR that I’ve prioritized their role for 1.5 months but now have a time-sensitive offer, without sounding rude? Advice?

That sounds pretty good, actually.

Verbatim the part about prioritizing their role for months but now you have a time sensitive offer.

That’s a pretty good response.

Hi Fishes,

What is the interview process with UBS Pune for Java 3 years experience.

I have a contact who is a hiring mgr at a company I want to work for. He told me he has an open role for me and set me up with 6 interviews over a 2 week period. They all went really well and HR said I’ll most likely be moving forward to a site visit. But now my contact has ghosted me. After I made 3 outreaches he had his aa schedule time for two weeks out. Why am I being iced?

Hey Fishes. I wanted to understand one thing.

When you apply for any opportunity, how well versed should you be with all the things mentioned in a JD, like certification, experience, some tools and technology, coding language. Do you see a 100% fit before you apply or go for the opportunity if you see the responsibilities meeting your expectation and know only like 60% of the expected or desired skills.

Have you been selected if in case you applied knowing you meet less criterias?
