Just got told by a recruiter my communication style came off as a bit too relaxed after my second case interview with the company. Does anyone know how I can improve this?

I had feedback from MBB along the lines of “stay upbeat; don’t lose momentum if you hit any blocks” which sounds similar in my mind. The key was just stayin energized and smiling and not losing focus

Sounds too me like you said something unprofessional or too personal. Or you didn’t follow “protocol” - thank you notes, professional communication, setting up times to follow up instead of just calling, reaching out to someone directly that you shouldn’t have, etc.

If you give more details on the specifics post interview it would help.

5hr energy before interview?

This was over the phone and no I asked the recruiter for specifics but she said she didn’t have any. Had two case interviews before I got this feedback.

I cleared 2 rounds of interviews with CGI. The very next day someone from the management team called me up and very readily agreed with me for my expected salary. He said he shall quickly ask the HR team to process my offer letter.

And it's been a week since I haven't heard from anyone. Neither CGI asked me docs nor any HR called me.

What shall I do now? I am currently under the Notice Period.

I received a job offer for a PM position with a base of $125K and a 10% bonus, fully remote and ok benefits. The parental leave is pretty bad, just FMLA and STD/LTD so the most I’d get is 60% of my salary for 12 weeks. I’ve cancelled most of my interviews except for one where the pay is $135K, 20% bonus, hybrid schedule, good benefits and 16 weeks fully paid parental leave. I’d like to start my family in a year or two - is it better to take the remote gig or the hybrid role with full paid leave?

Need some advice. I was asked to apply for a senior digital marketing specialist role (the lowest title I’ve applied for, looking mid-senior level). I applied and they offered me the position, but are telling me I need to start out at the regular specialist level. To me, if I interviewed for the senior title, and I can clearly do the qualifications needed since you offered me the role, I should have that title. Thoughts? Supposedly the reg. specialist role is senior in their org. structure.

Should I be pissed that they didn’t ask me if I was interested in that type of position before they put out a job opening for an external candidate?

Is it possible to ask for too high of a salary during an interview?

I had an interview end early because they couldn't match my salary ask despite me being a "perfect candidate" (their words). The range was the same/lower than what I currently make, and their role was for a more senior position. I gave a highball range but I figured there would be some negotiating. Maybe that company just isn't the right fit for me, but I'm just thrown off by how quickly the call ended after that.
