@A1 what was your score if you don’t mind me asking?

Anybody else? I fear 150 hours may not be enough... so trying to get an idea. I’ve seen ranges go up to 300 hours over 3 months.

Heard that US avg is 50 hours; international avg is 150 hours

Depends on the person but I personally think 300 hours is way overkill Better to do less hours but over a smaller period of time

Quitting before finalizing offers?

I’m at post onsite and negotiation stage at a couple places but it may take another month or 2 due to either hiring freezes or general slow processes.

I want to quit now to go on vacations that I held off during prep. Does it make much difference when I negotiate offers? Like if my upcoming unvested RSU would be (partially) matched, and they find out I quit somehow, is it no longer matched? Other potential snags?

Already burned most of my PTO interviewing.
