Having had to live with a bunch of different people off listings, you should all have a roommate agreement!!! Look up some online and modify whatever you want/agree on! This has been extremely helpful for keeping the peace. Not Sheldon style, but seriously, it's amazing - washing dishes, bringing guests, who pets the cat, it's amazing. For questions, above has good basics to cover.

The biggest thing I ran into w roommates - their SOs. No casually moving another person in over 2/3 times a week. Slumber parties that turn into a 3rd 4th 5th person on your water bill electric bill using your bathroom NOT OK.

I was in the final stages of an interview with Microsoft two weeks ago, in partner marketing. Then the recruiter told me they were putting the hiring process on hold to assess the need for the role. Well, then we heard about Microsoft layoffs last week. Seems like most were in Xbox and Project Alpha but there’s not a lot of information out there. Should I hold out any hope that I’m going to get this job? Any insights on how much these layoffs have impacted the marketing org and/or new hiring?

Hi all,

I have cleared all the interviews for Walmart and salary negotiations are also done. A month ago the recruiter said that they are waiting on some approvals and once it is done we will be issuing the offer letter but I haven't heard back any other update since then. Am I getting rejected or is it normal to be on hold without any update for a month at this stage?

I have a third round interview this Thursday, but after I sent my availability, I booked a flight for work that is causing a problem. The interview ended up scheduled for 3:30-4:15, and I'm supposed to be on a 5pm flight out of LGA. Is there a reliably quiet place at LGA to do the interview (I don't have lounge access)? Would it be a bad idea to say my availability changed and I can't do that time slot anymore? Or should I cancel / rebook my flight to later at night?
