Just received an email for an “expert interview” from Zintro who said they’ll pay me for my time. Is this legit? Has anyone seen these before? I’m gobsmacked that anyone would consider a consultant an expert so I couldn’t move past that lol

They are legit - basically a lower cost lower quality expert network who sources online. Used them before and they seem to reach out to anyone who remotely fits the description, whether they would be useful or not

Not from Zintro but I had a similar company reach out to me on LinkedIn to consult for a few hours for a client of theirs in my area. I think it is common / legit.

Lol they just emailed me too and honestly it just sounds so shady. Like they want me to answer 3 questions first?

I suspect they want you as an “expert” on consulting. IE, if someone is looking for insider information for how your firm is organized.

Not that hard to be an expert on your own firm.

Also, consultants see many different companies, and can have good examples of what works and doesn’t. Would qualify them as an expert in my book.

Hey guys,
I recently cleared 1st round of interview for data scientist role in Deloitte. 2nd round is with the director and most probably it will be a case study based interview. Anyone have idea, what kind of questions should I expect?

Need advice on a specific question!
Interviewed with Chicago court 2 weeks ago; they decide mid-August. Interviewed with DC judge last week; hear from him by this Friday. Chicago said if I need an answer before August, they'd try to make a decision about me sooner.
Should I ask Chicago for an answer? Or should I wait until there's an offer from DC judge? Maybe seems better to withdraw before an offer is made rather than ask for time to think about it/turn down DC? What's proper etiquette?

Currently interviewing for a role at Amazon that is listed as a CW position, but I have direct experience in the product and capabilities this role is seeking, and the hiring manager is moving me forward. What is the likelihood that if I tried to negotiate from a CW to FTE, I would get the position?

Any books/self help materials for someone who is constantly worrying (and waste a lot of unnecessary time)? E.g. No matter if i pass or fail an interview, there is always something to worry about. The worrying/anxiety multiplies when I proceeded further in the interview stages. Now that I signed the offer and is pending background checks, my anxiety is off the roof as it itches closer to my starting date.

Prioritize your career goals, whether they be financial otherwise. Praise and appreciation are nice, but don’t let ANYONE make you feel bad about choices you make for your happiness.
