Just had a video interview with DE Shaw and almost immediately afterwards (like 10 min) got an email saying the recruiter "would like to connect with [me] and answer any questions [I] may have". Good/bad/neutral sign? I'm going to find out soon, but killing time here in the meantime 😅

I say that’s a positive sign - if they are not interested, don’t think they would set up time to answer questions

It was just an informational call to ask how I thought things went. 😅

Recruiter said they're still gathering formal feedback but that initial feedback was good. Fingers crossed!

This is always a good sign. It means they liked you and want to make a good impression on you by getting your thoughts on the conversation/interview.

A respected Fintech shop and sounds like a proactive HR recruiting. Good luck and let us know how far you get there.

Faced this weird behaviour from Optum recently. Gave interview for Data Scientist position. HR said feedback is positive. Asked for documents. It's been month now since I have shared the documents. I have no update on the offer. Today I called HR, she called me back saying the position is on hold due to recalibration in team, She has shared interview feedbacks to other teams and will get back to me in couple of days. I am clueless now. My last working day is approaching (In a month). Any Help??

Had my interview on 12th Feb evening. The same day late night I got an email asking to upload the Application form( Completed the same on 13th Feb). Can I understand only HR discussion pending for me? If yes how much time will it take for me to get the HR call.
Thanks in advance.

Hello Guys,
Need small advice,
I had my LWD on 27th june ,before a week of that i had HSbC last round in which I clearly told I wanted to join by 4th july as my next joining is due at that time.
HR agreed and told will fast track your bgv .
Now the problem is they released offer for 11thJuly saying will preponed in case bgv finished early.
Today I again got a mail for 18th july extension.

Am quite worried here now, as I already said no to other companies !should I try looking again.

Received an offer as Engagement Director from Salesforce (CSG, pre sales, L9). Great benefits package, 40% increase in total comp and better WLB.

I do love the people in my practice and current client, but career trajectory has stalled after taking parental leave earlier this year and (yet another) change in leadership.

Realistically, making to Director is 2-3 years away and will require sacrificing time with my family that I am not prepared to give up.
